This campsite was lovely! Would highly recommend hiking up the nearby Watchman Trail for sunrise in the mornings! Moderate elevation gain and great views.

Well maintained campsite.

While I didn't end up staying at my campsite that I had reserved because the heat was 90 degrees at 8:00PM, the convenience and set up of the website for reservations and for keeping me aware of the status of fires in the areas was very good.
@RyanP8052228 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #C27
Was an awesome stay. Very clean, and well maintained. Definitely coming back.

Great campsite. Super clean. Convenient to buses. Best restroom I have ever seen at a campground. Zion Outfitter showers were very nice. Certainly worth showering everyday. Only $4.
@MindyR6145276 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #A31
Fabulous camp space, wonderful scenery. The campground is located close to trails, the visitor center, and the buses to explore the park.

Overall the campground was well kept, bathrooms were clean, happy to have a dishwashing station- good to see rangers patrolling in the evening and daytime. Camping pad was sufficient in size for a 4 person tent, could have fit another if needed. Didn't have any issues with people being loud at night. I wish there were a couple more bathrooms and at least one option for showers in the campground areas, the only option for showers is to go into town.It was fantastic to be able to walk to the shuttles at the visitor center, didn't need to drive at all during our stay. It was sad to see the cotton woods dead/dying at our site, Im assuming thats from drought conditions, from images at the time of registration they looked healthy.

Bugs are pretty bad. And afternoon rains slammed our tent.

El lugar estaba muy bonito. Pudimos ver las estrellas en la noche. Estaba algo caliente pero tranquilo. Haba baos cerca.
@MaurinSD71A545 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #A9
Great campground with nice outdoor sink and water sources.
@RonnyD5F1B678E · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #A31
There are a lot of construction work going on in the neighbourhood (reconstruction of the other campground).
@JordanI510ACF3 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #C14
We loved our site. Very secure and amenities nearby. LTE cell signal and lots of beautiful stars at night. Can't ask for much more! Beware of squirrels, one broke in to our tent and ripped a small hole in a netted tent. No food inside so no problem or mishaps aside from shredded paper towels.
@JamieH5333373 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #A10
Located very close to the Visitor Center, shuttle stop, and dump station.
@PeteR98844C897 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #C27
Always a great time at Zion
@RobertD9538610 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #C2
Very good campsite. Just a short walk to the village. Restrooms were clean and general area was in good shape.
@RichieNBD76DF1 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #D32
D-Loop 032Great spot! Dear close by, tons of squirrels, and extremely convenient location. Bathrooms not too far. Accessible water, river, and visitor center is a short walk for catching the shuttle. Also short walk into Springdale. (Dont forget your receipt for entering the park.) everything you need close by and still a great camping experience.
@CoreyKE5C4E2E0 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #C16
Amazing views of the Watchman, early accessible and navigate through the loop to our site. Major downside to our handicap accessible site was that the tent pad was hard red clay, compared to the standard dirt pads for most of those surrounding our site. Otherwise, a great campsite!
@ANNT6732633 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #B58
Beautiful campground, and liked our private spot (B58) with electricity!.although a bit of a walk to the Visitor Center. Took 3 fantastic hikes - The Watchman, Angels Landing (you must have a permit) and the iconic Narrows! Also great biking trails. Soo much to do and see here, 4 days was not enough!
@JenniferR98687 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #B60
We had a beautiful stay!! Bathrooms were clean and the campground was quiet!
@TimothyS245218 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #A4
We loved visiting Zion and staying at Watchman Campground. Unfortunately, I chose unwisely on the time of year and it was extremely hot. The campground is well set up and had flush toilets and bathrooms to brush your teeth as well as decent access to potable water. It was fairly easy to wash dishes in the sinks by the bathrooms as well. Be prepared for squirrels and ants. They became a nuisance during our stay. The park is beautiful and easy to access various parts on the shuttle. In some ways this park has really become commercialized and popularized. I plan to visit again but in the off season to avoid the heat and crowds.

Great lovely place next to the water. A lot of People do walk on your site to go into the water even whilenyoubare enting and while there is a path next to the site. Very strange. Site was big but as it was about 40 degrees there was no shade unfortunately. The picnic bank was also too hot to sit on it. For the rest it is a really beautiful campground and also acces to the shuttle bus in front of the campground. Really great
@ADAMS8586850 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #B61
Clean, roomy, very hot. Beautiful area.
@AiSB2A70A8723D · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #D8
The site was very nice, but there was no shade and it was hot.
@LukeL4CC7002E3 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #D26
We camped here two nights while visiting the park and lived the easy access to the shuttle, visitor center, gift shop and nearby Springdale all within walking distance. The bathrooms are basic and there is an area to do dishes and water available. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the area.
@PaulH7895659 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #B9
Very good campground. Close to the visitor center and the shuttle bus. Bathroom is so clean, with a washing station, campsites have electricity hookup, and also cell signal for t-mobile is useable - 4 things that most other national park campground dont have! Rangers are knowledgeable, camp hosts are friendly. Really enjoy the Watchman campground

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
