How much of a drive do you want and what facilities?
Sheep bridge road. Lots of spots and easy access to zion. 5-10 minutes from hwy to zion. In middle of JEM trails if you mtb.
Dusty and windy but super close.
Gooseberry mesa. Takes a while to get in there. Can slick rock camp.
Dalton wash road Few spots on road. Many on top. Guacamole mesa. Views of zion. Slick rock camping. Amazing trails (mtb). Tons of petrified wood too. Faster and easier to get to than gooseberry and on way to zion.
All are free.
Heh. Me, too. The destination is just the excuse. The real purpose is the drive. That's the main reason I don't need solar. I'm never in one place long enough to need it. Meanwhile, along the Burr Trail, in Escalante National Monument, north of Zion, south of Capitol Reef:We learned that some of the best parts of our out west trip was the drive to the next destination.

Zion is nice, but methinks your timing is poor. Because of its geography and reputation, Zion has resorted to shuttle buses to cope with the crowds, which are predicted to be huge this year. Capitol Reef and environs are close contenders for quality experiences, but without the crowds that accompany the notoriety of Bryce and Zion.Thanks guys. It sounds like maybe other places would be better options.
a bit of searching and I see many killer spots around Zion with less people.
