What Is a Winter Utahn? Your Guide to Off-Season RV Living at Jellystone Park Zion
August 8, 2025

Southern Utah in the winter is magical—crisp mornings, endless sunshine, and fewer crowds at some of the most breathtaking national parks in America. This year, Jellystone Park Zion in Hurricane, Utah is staying open year-round and introducing a brand-new way for traveling families to enjoy the season: the Winter Utahn Program.

Here’s what it means to be a Winter Utahn—and why it might be your best winter yet.

Who Is a Winter Utahn?

A Winter Utahn is a seasonal guest who stays at Jellystone Park Zion between November 1st and March 1st. They’re not long-term residents—they’re travelers, explorers, and families looking for a safe, scenic home base during the colder months.

Our Winter Utahns often spend their days:

  • Visiting Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Snow Canyon, or the Grand Canyon North Rim.

  • Exploring Coral Pink Sand Dunes and other nearby attractions within a 4-hour drive.

  • Relaxing at the resort with on-site activities, heated amenities, and wide-open views of Southern Utah’s red rock beauty.
