May 22, 2026

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, and there is no better way to begin the season than with a family camping trip. Warm weather, longer days, and a break from the regular routine make it the perfect time to gather the family and head outside.

At Zion Utah Jellystone Park™, families can celebrate the start of summer with camping, water fun, outdoor adventure, and time together near Zion National Park.

The Perfect Start to Summer

By late May, families are ready for a change of pace. School is ending, summer plans are beginning, and everyone is looking for a reason to get outside.

A Memorial Day weekend trip gives your family a fun way to launch the season. Instead of staying home and letting the long weekend pass by, you can turn it into a getaway filled with memories.

Camp, Swim, and Relax

Zion Utah Jellystone Park™ gives families the chance to enjoy more than just a place to stay. The campground itself is part of the experience, with family-friendly amenities and seasonal water attractions that help make the trip feel like a true vacation.
