Nice camp. Cancellations kept opening up so we were able to book reservations we needed for our visit to Zion.
@KevinS8513228 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025 at Campsite #D36
Camp hosts are very helpful. Location in the park and access to visitors center, shuttle bus, and the town make this campground the perfect base camp for your Zion visit.
@SkyetC5CDFE8F5 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025 at Campsite #D35
Very beautiful. Grounds were very well kept. Great location. A little privacy between spots. Lovely atmosphere.
@SUZANNEO941192 · Camped on Oct 16, 2025 at Campsite #B46
Incredible daytime views and a night sky full of stars. Perfect camping spot.
@SamanthaP64A59 · Camped on Oct 14, 2025 at Campsite #A19
Ive been camping for months and got our spit through Campscanner it was quiet, clean, spacious and spectacular. Definitely on my top 3 ever.
@OieDD0699182AD · Camped on Oct 14, 2025 at Campsite #D16
The watchman campground is a great campground. The hosts are friendly, the bathrooms are clean and plentiful. Any site is a good one - you either get great views or the sound of the creek or both! We spent 5 nights here and walked to everything (or walked to the bus)! Can't beat the location!
@RebeccaR559280 · Camped on Oct 14, 2025 at Campsite #B27
Sites are raised up and pretty level but still can pool water. Bathrooms are good. Flush toilets and a sink outside for dishes. Not too far to walk to visitor center and get the shuttle or walk to rent gear for the narrows. We had a great time and would definitely go back! Didn't need the electricity but was nice to be able to charge phone.
@NealDF47170A12 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #D2
This was a first time to Watchman. Very roomy and super clean campsite. An awesome setting. A bathhouse as clean as one could reasonably expect. The walking distance to visitors center also a plus!
@AlishaA0A77B19 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #D28
This campground is in a very convenient location. Just know that all sites are close together with very few trees and shrubs. In summer this site would be very toasty as it was in full sun. Thankfully we stayed in October. Good bathrooms and great dish washing sink.
@KimB3858433 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #B40
Perfect location for campground in Zion behind the visitor center. Easy access to the shuttles. Clean bathrooms. Beautiful views of the mountains.
@CraigE2678952 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #D22
Excellent Host!!!! Chris. Super clean bathrooms and campground. Very helpful. Friendly.
@JoelleC7AF2E4A · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #B53A
A great space where we could hook up to electric. The bathrooms were clean and the water access with dish water location was convenient. Perfect view of the park and easy access to the town, trails, and shuttle system.
@DebraM7857218 · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #B47
Beautiful campground! Very large sites and many convenient pull thru sites. The ones along the river had a wonderful view of deer each morning. The bathrooms were clean , sites were level and electric was convenient. Walking distance to shuttles was easy and very user friendly. Loved this campground ! We will be back!
@CharlesL794562 · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #B26
Best camping places in Utah.
@DonP9017789 · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #A21
Our site was level and the views from every direction just gorgeous. So much better staying inside the park. Just wish there were actual laundry facilities in Springdale. Would do this again.
@ElaineC4172EB3 · Camped on Oct 11, 2025 at Campsite #D15
Great sites, clean facilities
@GaryD2260868 · Camped on Oct 11, 2025 at Campsite #A9
This was the perfect campground to enjoy Zion. We loved it!
@ElliottH275187 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #D18
Really great campground! Convenient location, clean bathrooms, beautiful views. Not too loud either, not sure what else youd want out of a campsite.
@StefanH654FC0D · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #F15
Nice places, located right next to the parcel entrance and the shuttle bus und beautiful surrounded.
@SijiMA82522D92 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #B4
Enjoyed.
@SijiMA82522D92 · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #B9
Great campground
@CorryW6DF6D664 · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #C3
Clean facilities. Proximity to visitor center, shuttle, and Springdale shops.
@VictoriaL54293 · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #D4
It was super convenient to stay here. Right next to the visitor center so could easily take the shuttle in the mornings to our hikes. Also was able to walk into Springdale for a coffee shop days. Views are also INCREDIBLE just from the campsite. I hadn't really done a ton of research and was just blown away by the beauty of Zion so you could put me next to a dumpster and I wouldn't care. Speaking of dumpsters, one thing to notate is that the trash pick up was early and often woke me up. Campsites are close together but makes sense given the amount of visitors to the park. Bathrooms were clean and nearby. Dump station and water was in a convenient location as well.
@DuaneAD5C8080A · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #C8
This campground is always crowded, campsites are closer than I'd like. But it is well maintained and people were friendly and respectful of the rules. A good base camp for exploring the park. It was about a 35 minute drive to left fork trailhead if you're doing the subway hike.
@BrianS9986332 · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #C13
This time I stayed in campgrounds A & C. I love everything about Zion and both sites exceeded expectations. Wonderful views, clean restrooms, quiet neighbors. October is a great time to be in the park provided the weather cooperates.

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.
