Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort

Our first time at Zion lots of fun for the kids family environment too many activities to cover in a weekend return soon

Stayed for 2 nights. The restroom was not as tidy. Bring your own toilet paper. I wish there was sink area to wash dishes, obviously people were taking them to the restroom and shower to clean their stuff. We wanted to stay here due to the recreational services they advertised for the kids. They wanted you to leave a certain belonging so you can borrow their basketball. Golf was $5 or $25 for kids combo - unlimited golf, VR and wall climbing. My husband wanted to use their hose to clean up his bike since there was nearby bike trail but unfortunately it was facility use only. If you are familiar with KOA camping, this might be a disappointment for the recreational activities. Beautiful surroundings though just towards the East Entrance/exit of Zion National Park. Don’t forget to check out the herd of bison near the entrace!

Great location, especially for families. We had the bungalow with private shower/bathroom, however, the glamping tents looked noce too. Nice pools and hot tub. Each bungalow has its own firepit and picknick table. Comes with a kitchen, too. The restrooms and showers for the tents, campers and the bungalows without private bathrooms are spacious and clean. The restaurant is simple, but has everything you need: breakfast, lunch, dinner. Nice family owned business. We hope to return some day.

This a 3 star family property. Travelling as a couple, we thought it'd be quieter and better maintained. The queen cabin we stayed in did not feel well cleaned and the restaurant was ok. The proximity to Zion was good and the highlight of the ranch was the Sunset Horseback ride we booked with East Zion Adventures which is on the property.

Was a great experience. It’s better for family or group staying for several days because there are so many fun things to do.

The wife and I absolutely love Ponderosa Ranch Resort. We’ve been several times and it never disappoints. Close to the East entrance to Zion making getting to the park early easy. Great amenities, included breakfast, and nice restaurant and the pools are great. Basketball, volleyball ball, tennis and pickle ball courts. Horses, goats, turkeys and Jeep the bunny that the kids can hold. Goats roam free when the sun goes down and they’re extremely friendly (especially the baby ❤️) making for a great experience for kids. Wall climbing, bungee trampoline, a park, mini golf, Jeep tours and they were even doing helicopter tours with pick up and landing right in the grass on property which was cool to see in itself. There was a fire warning so no fires were allowed which can be a huge issue depending on cooking needs but they do have a small picnic area with about 8 tables and 2 large propane grills. There’s also 2 community Firepits you can reserve which are allowed even during the “no fires” warning. This time around we opted for a Glamping Tent which was pretty cool. Fan and heater included and sleeps 6. Also got a golf cart this time which made traversing the HUGE property very easy and enjoyable. Only negative I would speak to on this trip was the pond where you can paddle board/kayak was very nasty. Smelled of sewage and had trash in it.

Great place to stay for small families, has lots of recreational amenities to offer on site.

It was nice quite and very nice cabins would recommend this place to families

Cons Bunk bed ladder is unstable. Very cold floors. Takes long to heat the room. Flush is not very strong. Rooms are too small for a family of 4 . Pull out sofa bed is not easy to use. Pros Location is close to the park. Friendly staff. Quick check in. Wooded cabin feel is nice. Very easy to get into the room with access code.

This property was amazing, very nice private cabin, no individual bathrooms, but nice shared bedrooms, and a very nice location and view. Excellent food options, and delicious included breakfast. Lots of outdoor activities including basketball courts, tennis court, volleyball, and mini golf. Also had horses and goats wandering in areas where you could visit and pet. Highly recommend this property for families. Will go back
