Is there anywhere outside the east entrance of Zion NP that I could car camp? Not sure if there is any BLM land or Forest Service land that I could pull off the road and camp on. There is an rv park but they charge $49 for a tent. I was thinking of sleeping in my car at the East Rim Trailhead since that is where I am meeting my shuttle. However I believe it is illegal to sleep in your car in a national park. Any suggestions?
 
Yeah there are several dirt roads just east of zion along the highway that access public land. You should have no problem. They are high though so it'll get cold at night.
