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.

Villa Spotlight: The Willow

For this week’s villa spotlight we will be highlighting The Willow, Watchman Villa’s one bedroom / one bathroom ground-level unit. For those traveling either alone or with perhaps one or two others, this is a perfect option for lodging. The Willow is also the ideal choice for lodging near Zion National Park for those needing wheelchair access as this unit requires no stairs and allows you to park directly in front of the front door. Characteristically smaller in size then our two multi-bedroom units (The Aspen and The Pinyon), this villa maximizes every inch of its 850 square feet and provides a very open, roomy, and comfortable living space. Designed to be more desirable than a traditional one-bathroom hotel room, you will feel more at home and relaxed here than you ever did in a conventional hotel space. The Willow feels more like permanent living space then temporary quarters. All of the amenities you’ll have at your disposable include but are not limited to a desk, a sofa tha...

Now you’re rushing to find a supermarket or convenience store to acquire the items you forgot, paying more than you otherwise would have and being stressed while running around.

Packing Suggestions For All Travelers - Part 2

This article is a continuation of the Zion packing tip post Packing Suggestions For All Travelers - Part 1 . Do Laundry During Your Vacation The next Zion packing tip has to do with laundry. Laundry facilities are one of the most underused amenities of the hotel industry. Many travelers are not even aware that their hotel has one, let alone consider using it if they do. Our response to this is: why? It is not that expensive and is absolutely worth it considering the amount of packing space you’ll save by bringing half as many outfits as you would normally bring and then simply doing one load of laundry at your hotel halfway through your trip? This is a Zion packing tip that is easily executed with almost no effort at all and makes an enormous difference on the amount of stuff that you bring on a trip, particularly if you’re traveling with your whole family, kids and all. Depending on where you stay, your hotel or vacation rental may even have free laundry service. Not taking ad...
