Lovely campground near the Visitor's Center. Nice spot, close to the restrooms.
@TerryB2334202 · Camped on Sep 3, 2025 at Campsite #A12
We absolutely loved this campground. It was awesome to have electric in your site in a national park. Something that is not normal.It was close to so many other things and town. The shuttle service was so convenient. It even took you into town. We loved everything about Watchman Campground.Very clean bathrooms too.
@VincentM359968 · Camped on Sep 3, 2025 at Campsite #C6
1st time staying at watchman campground. Very clean, super close to everything. Walking distance to the visitor center, shuttle and outside town. Amazing spot to rest, over looking the tall mountain walls. Got lucky with a reservation
@JulieO4836491 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #A30
The campgrounds were well kept and spacious. Good use of natural grasses and shrubs as separators. Easy access to nice restrooms ands the visitors center where you can catch the shuttle. Walk across bridge access to Springdale, too.
@JeffB8180041 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #A20
We enjoyed our electric sites A17 n A20 at the Watchman Campground even though it was very hot. In the 90's. Site A20 has more shade than A17. Both are by a restroom. You can walk from loop A to the Visitor Center and to the shuttle bus. Which we took. At stop 20 is a lovely 2 mile RT hike to the narrows. Hike early and you will be rewarded with cool temperatures.
@SagnikBDB09CB1 · Camped on Aug 30, 2025 at Campsite #A7
Very nice campgrounds! Our spot in the F loop even had shade! Lots of drinking water and soap, along with fire circles. Perhaps the most scenic frontcountry campsite I've ever been at, with the cliff walls and the Watchman all around it. The sky looks beautiful on a clear night.
@MaureenF834497 · Camped on Aug 27, 2025 at Campsite #A2
We had spot A02, it was nice and roomy. They need to do a better job of diverting water so the campground doesn't become a mud hole when it rains. Our spot was ok, but other spots people were wading in ankle deep mud.
@KatieG3073170 · Camped on Aug 27, 2025 at Campsite #C15
Great campground in perfect location! A spacious site with access to clean toilets and water. We really enjoyed our stay here, we visited just after Zion had lots of rain and the ground was like soggy clay in some areas but when we arrived it had obviously been cleared as much as they could. It didnt affect our trip at all and wed stay here again. Great walking distance to shops and restaurants and the Zion shuttle for walks. We woke up to several deer around our site, it was lovely.
@JoeW8718686 · Camped on Aug 26, 2025 at Campsite #B54
The campsite was big and we had some shade. It rained a lot while we were there, and some of the campsites were a lake. Our site (B54) was muddy, but it drained pretty well. The Campground was close to the visitor center and wilderness desk, as well as Springdale main street.
@RaulMF5319A564 · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #D13
Great campground! We loved every bit, just be prepared for the heat as there is little shade in some spots
@JeannieP300353 · Camped on Aug 23, 2025 at Campsite #F3
Great location. Close to shuttle buses and Springdale. Only negative was the ants. They were able to get in our tent.
@KathrinT143244 · Camped on Aug 23, 2025 at Campsite #B13
We liked it a lot
@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Aug 20, 2025 at Campsite #F4
Nice sites next to bathrooms
@BrendenD4B1E18 · Camped on Aug 19, 2025 at Campsite #A19
I wish the RV sites had water hook-ups. Showers inside the campground would also be a huge benefit.
@JordanR7876926 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #A10
No problems. We were very close to the ranger talk and the river which was amazing. Can't beat the view of the mountain. Close to stores to pick up lots of food items or anything you forgot. We were very happy
@SusanneM51B7D8 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #A13
A very nice campground with good facilities, and the proximity to the river makes it the perfect spot for hot summer days.
@SarahR6066410 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #B53C
Next to a covered picnic area with tables, easy access to the creek for swimming/cooling off, nearby trails and hikes. Great campsite. Has electric hookup.
@JessicaL597698 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #B14
amazing campground
@WilsonA2C6BDDD · Camped on Aug 14, 2025 at Campsite #C9
Nice and beautiful campground with a trail that can lead you around the Canyon. Bathrooms are clean and close by. Dumpster station is in the entrance.
@KatalinaS1AC2D · Camped on Aug 13, 2025 at Campsite #F4
A beautiful campground with great facilities! Lots of active wildlife so be sure to listen to the rangers and leave no temptations out for the animals! We can't wait to go back!
@AshleyL4614567 · Camped on Aug 13, 2025 at Campsite #B45
Sweet campground! Make sure to bring a pop up tent or something to produce shade
@RalfB75C060ED1 · Camped on Aug 11, 2025 at Campsite #B4
We had beautiful hikes and have been lucky to get the tickets for the Angels Landing Trail.
@SabineHB33487A · Camped on Aug 11, 2025 at Campsite #D32
Very nice campsite with beautiful view. Unfortunately very less shadow.
@BrookeT74FBDAD · Camped on Aug 9, 2025 at Campsite #B10
Absolutely loved my stay at Watchman. Its not far from the visitors center giving you great access to the park and its got incredible views. Loved every second of my stay!
@VeredZ37D8769A · Camped on Aug 7, 2025 at Campsite #B53A
The English translation of the review is:Our location near the stream was great, with clean restrooms and a large sink for washing dishes. It was very comfortable and with nice view of the mountains. It was close to the hiking trails in Zion National Park. A convenient sewage dumping station and shade from the trees."

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.
