Great location, walk over to the shuttles and town of Springdale. So nice to have electric! Sites are great, wonderful views. A little buggy and dusty. Zion is amazing. Looks like they are updating the other campground, hope it will also have some hookups.

Site was fairly level with Watchman peak overlooking the site.Loved the convenience of being in the park and nearby the visitors center and shuttle. The only issue I had was with the 30A receptacle. It was worn out watch made the connection loose, which caused heat build up and eventually breaker tripped a lot. Actually had to tie my plug into the receptacle so it wouldn't fall out of place.

Perfect place to start a trip into the narrows.

Campground was very close to shuttle, gift shop, and park services. Nice view of Watchman, unfortunately no shade. We were very glad to have been able to reserve a campsite in Zion National Park!

Wish wash houses were always open and people kept bright light off on camper as this is a dark sky certified park. Extremely busy campground and park, but beautiful scenery.

Never a bad experience at Watchman.

This place is just perfection! Being in the park is so convenient, and the views are outstanding. Nice bathrooms, dish washing station and electricity at site were all fantastic. Can't wait to come back!

Beautiful backdrop nestled within Zion Canyon. Can't beat the location -- walking distance to Visitor's Center, Brewery/Cafes, etc. but the campsites were tucked away, quiet and serene. Restrooms were very clean and there was a dishwashing sink. Excellent camping experience. One of our favorites.

In our 6 week RV road trip around the US western national parks, this is hands down the best campground we stayed at. Proximity to visitor centre, shuttles, views, trailheads. Perfect!

The lights in the bathroom of Loop A didn't work. Needed headlamp inside the ladies restroom. Otherwise great experience.

Great location and beautiful views. Walking distance to the visitors center, Zion rentals (ie: bikes, narrows gear), brew pub, and convenience store. Sites are a decently sized and spaced. Reserved day of in January with plenty of availability, but the campground did fill up as the day went on.

Beautiful location and great sites

This was our first visit to Zion National Park. We were there in mid November and although it was cold at night the days were comfortable and it was not crowded. The campground was well maintained and the sites are nicely organized. A beautiful park to visit!!
@TerenaW970 · Camped on Aug 12, 2021 at Campsite #A17
The campground was amazing! Woke up to elk eating berries in our campsite, the stars were beautiful, and the view was awesome! Cell service was low but consistently available. And the campground was just five miles from town where you could get dinner if you didn’t want to cook or coffee in the morning if you wanted a specialty drink. Had a great time and will be back!

The individual campground was groomed nicely. The restrooms were clean with standard flushing toilets, urinals, and sinks. Each Restroom building has a family restroom to help with privacy when managing a bunch of little kiddies or if you haven't decided what gender you prefer. Additionally, each of these buildings has a kitchen sink to clean your pots and pans. Conveniently located near the visitor center and the shuttle stop. It is also located inside the National Park, so there was no need to leave and re-enter it unless you want to visit Springdale town.

We love Watchman! We’ve camped here many times, in our tent camper, and now that we have a travel trailer we will continue, as often as possible. Clean restrooms! Great hiking! And the Pa’Rus trail with our dog! Friendly and knowledgeable Zion NP employees. A market just a short walk from the camp, for all the things we seem to forget to bring, lol. A brew pub/ restaurant, with pet friendly outdoor seating.
