The main west entrance to Zion is 15 miles from Open Sky, or 25 minutes of driving. Our property is unique in that it remotely borders the far west side of Zion National Park.
We recommend flying into either Las Vegas International Airport or St. George Regional Airport. You can rent a car from either location and drive to Open Sky.
From Las Vegas to Open Sky – Approximately 2 hrs 45 minutes. Please keep in mind the 1 hour zone time difference between Nevada and Utah when planning your travel.
From St George Regional Airport to Open Sky – Approximately 45 minutes.
From Open Sky to Springdale Shuttles / Zion National Park West Entrance – Approximately 25 minutes.
You don’t need 4-wheel drive to get to Open Sky. The drive to Open Sky is paved highway with the exception of 3.5 miles of improved dirt road, Dalton Wash Road. This road takes you off the beaten path while winding up a beautiful canyon and is maintained by Washington County Road Department. Depending on weather and usage, it can be quite washboarded at times. If you take it slow, no matter the road’s condition, we promise you’ll enjoy some gorgeous scenery driving in. We do recommend keeping an eye on regional weather conditions. The outdoors can be rugged in the Zion region and we are experiencing drought conditions. Exceptionally heavy rainfall can cause the roads to be slippery or wash out. If you visit during the winter season the road can be icy and snowy at times.
The closest services for gas, food, ice, laundry, and groceries is La Verkin and Hurricane. We recommend stopping for your shopping needs before driving up to Open Sky.
Please see our Travel Plans page for more information.
Yes, we have built out approximately five miles of hiking trails for our guests, including a route to our property on the mesa above the camps. You never have to leave Open Sky property to enjoy the beauty of the Zion region.
You will be required to place a 100% deposit at the time of booking your reservation. If you were charged a lesser deposit, the remainder of your reservation will be due at check-in.
CHECK IN TIME: 3PM
CHECK OUT TIME: 11AM
We do not offer early check-in or late check-out at this time because each camp requires the full amount of time for cleaning and preparing for each new guest. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to plan your travel accordingly.
Our lobby tent is open from 7 am to 9 pm daily. If you will be arriving later than 9 pm for your check-in, please call or text to let us know so we can make arrangements for you to access your camp.
Due to our remote location, cell phone coverage can be spotty. To accommodate your connectivity, we have Starlink internet services throughout the property and at each camp. We have found that Verizon tends to have the best coverage at Open Sky Zion.
All tents have framed entry doors that lock.
If your plans change after your reservation is confirmed, cancelation notice is required 21 days in advance of your arrival date. You will be refunded your deposit, minus a $25 cancelation fee.
If you cancel your reservation 21 days or less prior to arrival date, you are responsible for the entire cost of your reservation and will not receive a refund on any deposit you made. This is why we highly recommend travel insurance. At this time Open Sky does not recommend any specific insurance company or policy.
If you plan to travel to Utah from another country or state, you may want to have travel insurance as a financial safeguard for pandemic, weather, or airline related problems. Travel insurance can provide that safety net to protect your deposits and more. This is especially true if you’re traveling abroad, where your health plan may have limited global coverage. Again, Open Sky does not recommend any specific insurance company or policy.
Our cancelation fee also applies to changes in your arrival/departure date which result in a shorter stay. No refunds are provided for late arrivals or early departures.
