4 Reasons to Vacation in Springdale, UT


springdale

Springdale, UT is a small city in Southern Utah with a population of approximately 600 people. Don’t be fooled by its small number of permanent residents, however. This little town is rapidly becoming one of the most oft-visited tourist destinations in the country, and there’s a very convincing reason for all of this. Hint: one of Springdale’s nicknames is “The Gateway to Zion.” It just so happens that if you want to visit Zion National Park and you need a place to stay, Springdale is that place. It is where the entrance to the Park is located. And what a place it is. You’d be wrong to assume that the city simply piggybacks on its fortuitous location to claim its fame and leaves it at that. Residents, business owners, and tourist boards have worked - and continue to work - very hard to make their city as appealing and unique as possible to visitors, and saying that they’ve succeeded would be an understatement. Here are 4 reasons why planning your next vacation for Springdale would be a very wise decision.

Proximity to Zion National Park

This is the most obvious reason but is without a doubt the best reason. Zion National Park is one of the most popular national parks in the United States whose total annual visitor count grows year after year. The city of Springdale and its many efforts to increase their influence in the tourism world has a lot to do with Zion’s influx of visitors. Zion’s beauty and immensity are unmatched and the amount of activities, sights, and excursions is so large that you could stay for a week and still have more to do. It’s an incredible place that is proud to call Springdale home.

Quality Lodging Options

It doesn’t matter what your lodging preferences are when you go on vacation. Springdale has every option covered; anything from a 5-star luxury resort to a campsite. If you want comfort, luxury, and privacy then allow us to recommend Watchman Villas. The property has 4 luxury accommodations - one of which is The Hummingbird Suite - that are guaranteed to never disappoint. Located behind the Springdale & Zion Canyon Visitor Center, this is the best option for quick, on-the-go accommodations that are as nice (nicer, if you ask us) than any hotel in town, and you won’t have to bump shoulders with other tourists.

Impressive Dining Scene

Springdale has made a name for themselves in culinary circles. Many local restaurants were started by renown chefs from Las Vegas and other premier culinary locations. Springdale has everything from coffee shops and bars to steakhouses and fine dining and everything in between, all of which are amazing. Check Yelp and you’ll see we aren’t kidding.

Unforgettable Surroundings

At any given point, in any given spot, you could stop moving and look around and see just about the most amazing sight you ever seen. The city is literally surrounded by the majestic cliffs of Zion. Southern Utah is one of the most magical places on Earth and Springdale is right in the middle of it all.

If there’s one thing that Springdale is known for, it’s beauty is probably at the top of the list. The combination of Zion National Park’s natural wonders that surround the city and the dedication that the residents, business owners, and city council members have in making the city look incredible puts Springdale a cut above the rest. One aspect of Springdale that often gets overlooked that certainly adds to its beauty and overall appeal are the Springdale city parks. These two locations are gorgeous and pristine and are wonderful places to spend time while you’re here. Don’t be ashamed if you love this town and haven’t known about the Springdale city parks; well, one of them at least. One of them is near impossible to spot from the main road due to its somewhat concealed location. The “concealed” one tends to be the more popular of the two overall, but the truth is that they are both fantastic. But let’s start with the hidden gem. This park is located off of Lion Blvd next

The percentage of frequent travelers who regularly or semi-regularly choose to stay in vacation rentals (including Airbnb options) is rising every year. To say the vacation rental industry is booming would be an understatement. The industry as a whole has been on the rise for some time now. Figures from 2017 estimated the vacation rental industry, including Zion National Park accommodation, at over $150 billion. One interesting fact is that of all nationalities, Europeans book vacation rentals the most (which could be attributed to staying in “holiday homes” which is common in European culture and has been for years). In fact, according to data, approximately 50% of all European travelers in 2015 stayed in private accommodations which include places such as homes that are owned privately, individual couches and rooms that are formally rented, offerings by travel management companies, and park lodges. Americans are the runners-up in frequency of vacation rental bookings. As far back
