A donation of $1 from each reservation will go toward helping the nonprofit’s projects that benefit Zion National Park. AutoCamp Zion is a 16-acre property located along the Virgin River near the town of Virgin and about a 20-minute drive to the national park entrance in Springdale.

“AutoCamp is pleased to announce its partnership with the official nonprofit partner of Zion National Park,” Walker Belliston, AutoCamp Zion general manager, said. “Their work extends across every aspect of the park experience, inside the gates and beyond. Projects like trail restoration, care for Zion’s plants and animals, and empowering future generations to care for public lands are all funded through their donors and supporters.”

The property will offer 81 accommodations, including 72 Airstreams custom designed through AutoCamp’s partnership with the company. Belliston said the business will also have an all-season pool, a signature clubhouse with a general store and kitchen, outdoor event spaces and a communal fire pit.

Belliston said AutoCamp has partnered with HKS Architects and Narrative Design Studio to create an indoor and outdoor communal space for guests to enjoy throughout their stay. AutoCamp requires a two-night minimum stay, she added.

Natalie Britt, president and CEO of Zion Forever Project, said the organization is thrilled to have a partnership with AutoCamp to help with its mission to support the park and public lands.

“We recognize that national treasures, like Zion, need all of our help and we are so fortunate to have committed partners from across this nation stand up to contribute to that cause,” Britt said. “Caring for our parks will always be a group effort, and we are ecstatic that Autocamp is committing to supporting our mission at work in the parks.”

Britt added that national parks do not take care of themselves; it takes a community of supporters from visitors, donors and business owners. She said businesses like AutoCamp stepping forward show they understand the power of national parks and align with the nonprofit’s mission to ensure the Zion experience forever.

“The impact of these donations is felt throughout the park,” Britt said. “These donations will fuel trail and road repairs, youth education initiatives, as well as cutting-edge science related to Zion’s plants, animals and geology.”

Belliston said other business partners, which include Zion Adventures, Virgin Valley Yoga and Zion Stargazing, have signed on and she is working on confirming more agreements ahead of their grand opening.

She said AutoCamp is committed to incorporating environmental sustainability practices into business operations, building positive relationships with the local community and developing custom guest programming with the Zion Forever Project. Learn more at this website.
