Loved this campsite, close to the creek with beautiful views of zion's walls towering in the distance!

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.

The English translation of the review is:Our location near the stream was great, with clean restrooms and a large sink for washing dishes. It was very comfortable and with nice view of the mountains. It was close to the hiking trails in Zion National Park. A convenient sewage dumping station and shade from the trees."

We had the feeling of camping in the nature due to the view on the nearby mountains and the presence of wildlife around and inside the camp (we spotted an elk while walking around).

I never actually made it to the campsite. I arrived at the north Zion gate at 4:10pm. The ranger who was not helpful and had a bad attitude said the tunnel shuts down to motor homes at 4:30. I had 20 minutes and he wouldnt let us through. He then gave us a paper directions that was supposed to take us 2 1/2 hours to get around the tunnel. We never made it because the directions were not clear. It wasnt just us either, apparently it is not posted well enough because we saw 4 other motor homes turned around after us. The next morning we drove to see the campground we missed out on. Some of the resources at the south entrance should be move to the north and the website updated.

We stayed for 3 nights and it was wonderful. Campground is well maintained, has power and showers are close by, just outside the park entrance at Zion Outfitter. Loop B is close to everything with a walking path to Market Plaza and close to the Blue Line shuttle.

Staying in the Watchman CG at Zion NP made our experience one of the best. We were there for over a week during Memorial Weekend. We did not notice the crowds as we could walk to the Visitor's Center, the Watchman Trail, the Pa'rus Trail and the shuttle. The CG was clean and quiet. We had a snug spot, 53a in Loop B, but it was perfect for our 35' 5th wheel. We could hear the Virgin River out our window. And it was an easy walk to rent equipment (eBikes and Narrows gear) from Zion Outfitters and also get some brews from Zion Brewery.

The "buddy site" was not explained fully on web site. We booked thinking we were beside our cousins. What it really was a revolving site for different people for 9 days between us and sharing a campfire with 6 sites.

Campers next to me too noisy

Very nice campground and ideally located (close to visitor center) and the river.
They always mention that you need to book 6 months in advance. Don't give up if you wake up late as we did, there is a lot of movement and cancelations. If you go often, you might find a spot.
It worse !

Overall the sites are OK. What was weird were the six sites in a cluster that we ended up in
@TharonM26E0FC7 · Camped on May 25, 2023 at Campsite #B53A
The campground was very well maintained! The electricity is a bonus with the heat in the afternoon! The bathrooms were clean, the river walk was great to get to the visitor center and the shuttle, and the town is right across the river (walking distance). We really enjoyed this campground!

Loved the beauty of the mountains surrounding us. Great place. Well kept. Well managed.

I really appreciated the recycling drop-off at Watchman Campground. We had been traveling for 10 days prior, and finding recycling facilities is difficult, so having this available was awesome. The bathrooms at the campground were clean, and though we did not have a water hook-up at our site, we were able to fill our van with water at the dump station as we were leaving, another unexpected perk.
@MichaelH765 · Camped on Nov 10, 2021 at Campsite #B53A
Amazing views and great facilities!
@JoshuaP826 · Camped on May 8, 2021 at Campsite #B53A
Clean bathrooms, safe environment. Deer walk right into the campground, which is pretty cool
@RoyQ864 · Camped on Mar 20, 2021 at Campsite #B53A
Awesome campground!!! Only complaint is the sites are electric only so we had to dump gray and black and refill fresh water every 3 days

Great campsite. Check in was extremely quick. Location to Dead Horse Point was convenient, hikes and MTB trails were excellent.
