First time to the area. Loved the campground. It was clean and convenient to catch the shuttle.

We spent lots of time in the river behind our campsite keeping cool on inner tubes and sitting in the water. We also went on the Riverwalk to get cool. One day a thunderstorm came through while we were waiting for the tram getting everyone drenched but it provided wonderful waterfalls.

It’s hard to get a site at the Watchman campground but it’s totally worth the effort.

I have been visiting Zion National Park off and on for over 60 years. Staying in the Watchman Campground is always a very special experience. Easy access to the Visitors Center, Springdale shopping and dining, magnificent trails and just the splendor of the park.
Our campsite was comfortable and included electricity for our class B van which makes the visit that much easier.
Can’t wait to come back!

PROS
Good Sprint reception—able to FaceTime
Insanely gorgeous views—nicest out of any campsite I’ve been to.
Very close access to a river
Walking distance to shuttles
Close access to fountain water and bathrooms
Beautiful night sky
Metal tables, so you can use your portable stove on it
I car camped and left my windows open in July and got no mosquito bites (your mileage may vary).

CONS
Men’s bathroom had broken locks in both stalls.
No showers or laundry.
No campfires allowed depending on time of year
Not much seclusion from other sites, but I didn’t mind

TIPS
I don’t think it’s much different from South Campground if your stuck deciding.
C003 has very nice views and is a short walk from main attractions. B051 is further out—a bit of a small walk. Loop A is closest to shuttles. South Campground 057 is also a good spot in terms of walking distance.

VERDICT
Would definitely return if in Zion again.

Nicely laid out campground, very well maintained sites, clear facilities. Close to ranger station, shops, cafes and restaurants. Couple of hiking path directly from campsite, otherwise centrally located for excursion into Zion canyon, or surrounding areas.

Only negative were some inconsiderate campers not wearing masks in the shared bathrooms.

The campgrounds are busy but quiet. Bathrooms are super clean. It was great to walk the loops at night and see all the different camping options.
