Excellent location within the park but walking distance to restaurants and general store. Quiet and beautiful!

A very nice campground with good facilities, and the proximity to the river makes it the perfect spot for hot summer days.

Very nice spot. Walking distance to the main entrance, stores and restaurants. Bathroom's are clean and accessible. FYI, i set up my hammock and few hours later park ranger saw it and was told that it's not allowed anymore at Zions Park. A new policy they have this year. Overall we had fun!!

This campground was so great! Beautiful views and even better, right near the shuttles and youre already INSIDE the park. Walking distance to stores and restaurants right outside the park if youre not in the mood to cook. We would definitely stay here again.

This camp site was a fantastic location for us. Just around the corner from the restrooms and right on the riverside trail for easy access to the shuttles. The entire campground was clean. We really enjoyed our stay!

Nice campground but how did you manage to hire the most incompetent people to run the website? What would people do if they don't have a cellphone or data?
@UrsulaAE7731D4 · Camped on Jan 21, 2025 at Campsite #A13
We are visitors from abroad and wanted to come spontaneous to Zion National Park just to discover we had to have a reservation even the campground was only not even one third occupied. The Ranger werent helpful, the Information Centre allowed us after a few attempts to use their phone to make a reservation. Not even the Host could be of help. Frustrating. This new reservation system is a nightmare. You cant expect from everyone to have a cellphone with data to do your job. You are losing customers,

Beautiful park. Loved our site!

Perfect location, direct access to the visitor car park as well so if you're checking out you can move into a visitor car park space before they fill. No showers, but other amenities are good. And showers available a short walk away under Zion Outfitters store. I had a great site right next to the river.

Great campground. Near the shuttle stop and some shops. Right near the entrance to Zion National Park.

Easily our favorite national park (or state park for that matter) campground yet (although we're at Devils Garden now and the only reason it's not higher is no electricity). Zion is amazing and the campground is beautiful and super well maintained. We did end up with some critters sneaking into our food cabinets but they didn't hitchhike once we left so no harm done. I'd go back here in a heart beat

This campsite location was amazing. We had friendly neighbors and everyone was respectful with one another. The site is a little small but all the sites seem to be small and cozy in this campground. The site provides a firepit, table and long driveway to park a camper but we tend camped this site. It was nice, as a family of 5 we enjoyed this camp location and want to book here again in the future. Watching the sunrise and set set with the view of the mountains made it feel so magical. Also lets not forget the amount of stars shinning bright. I really enjoyed how the shuttle buses were a walking distance away. This campsite was so convenient and Im so happy we enjoyed our time. 2 nights wasnt enough next time I want to book at least 3-4 nights.

Watchman campground is perfect! A13 was a bit small for tent camping with a group. Designed for a plug in RV. Watchman is very clean & well maintained. There are rangers present and we didn't have any issues with loud parties. Deer daily walked thru the campgrounds. Only negative is that the area had a large amount of foxtails, in early June 23.

We stay in Watchman's Campground A. It is very nice with flat and well spaced sites, very quiet, with power, water and a dump close by. The people who work in the park (rangers, tram drivers, store people and campground hosts) are very nice and helpful. The tram is a 5 minute walk away and Springdale just a few more minutes. Each night at 9 there is a ranger talk in in an ampitheater a few minutescwalk. Zion is a spectacular park.

My only complaint us there is not a source of ice in the park, requiring you to leave the park to get some.

This is my second time here and it is still my favorite national park. Spring weather was much nicer than August heat. The shuttle system is excellent for getting around the park.

We had an overall great time at Watchman campground. The only issue we experienced was the electric pedestal lost power on Apr 7, Loop A, site 013.We reported the power outage as we left. At any rate, we will definitely return in the future.
@KeithA9943937 · Camped on Apr 3, 2023 at Campsite #A13
such a great time at watchman. excellent facilities. close to shuttle. plus the watchman trail is perfect hike for sunrise views of the glowing rocks.
@HeatherCD7BAD5 · Camped on Feb 20, 2023 at Campsite #A13
Unprecedented Snow when we went, making the park even more beautiful. Watchman was clean and the bathrooms were warm! We still found plenty to do though the road north was closed as was most of the trails.
