We were booked 5 nights at A30 the nearby bathroom was closed and apparently has been for years. Perhaps too close to public parking. Switched to A17 near the other bathroom same loop. Very nice. Nice views. Convenient to both the visitor center and the walk into town. Could use more bathrooms.

We always love Watchman Campground. Easy access to Visitor Center and Shuttle. Nice campground to take a walk with the dog and clean restrooms.
Excellent

We stayed in site 17 loop A. It was a great site next to the restrooms (which was perfect as we were camping out of our SUV). The pad was level and there was a nice space for a tent (which we didn't use). The restrooms were warm and clean. I love the fact that there was a separate wash station for pots and dishes. Our site was short walk to the trail along the river that led to the visitor's center where we picked up the shuttle. So glad we stayed here.

Fabulous experience at Watchman Our site was large with a fantastic view The park is very well maintained The bathrooms are clean and cared for The ranger programs in the amphitheater are a wonderful enrichment The river walk and the bridge access to Springdale really make for a nice walk to get a coffee in the morning A huge shout out to the rangers who provide service in our national parks Thank you Thank you!

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.
@EdO9073683 · Camped on Jun 6, 2023 at Campsite #A17
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!

This campground is awesome. The location is a short walk to the visitor center and Shuttle. Also very close to Springdale stores and restaurants. Didnt have to deal with full parking lots, and traffic for our entire stay we just parked the car at the site and walked veterans needed to go.

The campground was clean, picturesque, and convenient to all park attractions.

Great spot with firepit, lots of room to park and lots of room to set up my tent. Respectful campers. Perfect location.
@PatriciaND670F · Camped on Nov 6, 2022 at Campsite #A17
Watchman campground at Zion was just amazing! Super clean - awesome location right inside the park - lots of amenities in walking distance - including a market with firewood. Super easy walk to the shuttle. It was a memorable visit - especially with all the fall leaves changing and star gazing at night. Hats off to that group that makes that campground so clean!!! Thank you!!

We were eaten alive by no see mums, very painful.
@KimberlyH57940 · Camped on Feb 1, 2022 at Campsite #A17
We loved this campground. We had full power. Our location was on the A Loop which we loved. It was a quick walk to the visitors center, restaurants, market, and trails. We were right by the bathrooms, but secluded enough it was perfect. The bathrooms were clean. The views amazing. We wished we didn't have to leave.
