Camp Outpost

Dining★ 4.4
Interior dining hall inside Zion National Park restaurant, with wood paneling, communal tables, and visitors dining.

Camp Outpost crafts casual American rotisserie-driven fare with a campy, roomy vibe. The communal fire pit and expansive patio set the scene for post-hike unwinding, with a moderate buzz that spikes at dinner. The rotisserie chicken is moist and cooked to perfection, the fried chicken sandwich has light, crispy breading with arugula and pickled onions, and the Camp Burger stays juicy (Impossible option available). It gets noisy during dinner rush, and wait times vary but food can arrive quick...
