Honestly this by far has been the best campground Ive ever been to! Restroom near by with a sink to wash your dishes. The entrance to the park was close by with the visitor center and convenient stores. They also have shower at Zion Outfitters which thats a BIG plus when camping in tent. Overall loved my experience at Zion NP, will love to be back soon!
Excellent

I like the campground and campsite. What I don't like is hearing dogs barking for hours and very loud people. I find it perplexing that campers are allowed to string a display of bright lights and lanterns at their site thus negating the dark sky policy of the park and surrounding townsite.

Very good campsite. Just a short walk to the village. Restrooms were clean and general area was in good shape.

We were in site C002 which had a little shade and overall a good site. My biggest comment is that the bathroom capacity was not adequate for the number of users.

November is a good time to camp at the Zion national park campground. Really don't have any criticisms of the campground other than allowing large Vans and small RV's in the tent section. Unlike tent folks, these people often have a heating unit that makes quite a racket, comparative to camping right next to a loud swamp cooler and not very easy to drown out their noise when trying to sleep if they are your neighbor or camped nearby. Personally, I think some of them are louder than good generators, which are not allowed to operate during the evenings and mornings. Also don't like folks who string up lights around their campsite. Zion and Springdale are designated dark zones, where unnecessary lights shouldn't be allowed. Those are my only gripes.

Campground was beautiful. Our site had a tree that provided some shade from the hot sun. Bathrooms were clean and close. Ranger talks at the amphitheater was fun and educational. We loved our stay

Nice site with afternoon shade. Tent pad was too hard to use spikes so things blew around when it was windy, but not too big a deal. Always great to camp in the park.

Very lovely spot. The pitching area had small pebbles, blocking the dirt from getting on the tents which was nice! Loud neighbors during the weekend though

Its my first time camping and we love it. Im glad my husband and i did it. It was cold at night but i already anticipated it. Everything was perfect. The only thing i got disappointed about is the camp site i booked should be near the bathroom but the nearest bathroom was closed so we had to walk a little bit. But its fine. Over all, my husband and i had fun.

It was a Wednesday evening and we decided to look up camping in Zion. To our disbelief, there was a site available. We booked it! When the Friday morning sun rose, we were off to explore Southern Utah. Towards the end of our day we found ourselves at the Zion Brewery. A nice cold beer to cap off our day. My lady was sitting directly across from me at an outside pub table. Looking to the West, I could see the sun shining behind her. It was at that moment that I thought, " Could there be another site available for one more night?" I logged onto my Recreation.gov app and again to our disbelief there was another site available. It was site 7 in the walk-in tent camping area. What an amazing experience. To be able to visit Zion National Park during peak summer and get not one but two camping spots on a whim is purely miraculous. Thank you for such an amazing experience.

The place to stay to experience zion. Walking distance from number one shuttle stop. Walking distance from the visitor center. Beautiful view of the watchman while you camp. Bathroom and potable water close by. Some shade at almost every site. No showers but the showers are a 5 min walk away at zion outfitters. Bonus, make sure you look up at the night sky at night. For a beautiful view of the milky-way.

Nice campground in a beautiful setting. Polite park hosts and easy to navigate. Close to town if you need a shower and easy to walk to the shuttle without having to wrestle for parking.

The actual park was beautiful, unfortunately the traffic congestion and people on bikes, especially e-bikes, made the area near the visitor center and book store along with the Pa’rus trail a nightmare.

The Watchman Campground in Zion deserves every bit of its five-star rating! My family and I had an incredible time during our stay here. One of the standout features of this campground was how impeccably clean everything was - from the campsites to the bathrooms, everything was spotless. This made for a comfortable and enjoyable stay for everyone.Another thing we loved about the Watchman Campground was its convenient location. It was located very close to all the trails and restaurants in the area, making it easy for us to explore Zion and enjoy some delicious meals.Additionally, the proximity of the campground to the shuttle stops was incredibly convenient. We appreciated being able to park our car and take the shuttle to explore different areas of Zion.Overall, the Watchman Campground is a fantastic place to stay for anyone looking to explore Zion. With its cleanliness, convenience, and beautiful location, it's a no-brainer. We highly recommend this campground to anyone planning a trip to Zion National Park.

Clean. Close to the visitor center. Good environment with some deers.

Oh my goodness: the surroundings here are BEAUTIFUL: sleeping with giant rock walls behind you. So magical. The bathrooms were clean and even warm in the cold mornings. ONE note to consider: this campground is VERY close to the town of Springdale, so we heard sounds of bar music and laughter when going to bed.Overall, though, we are thankful for such a great opportunity to stay in the park. We would highly recommend the informative ranger presentations at the amphitheater.

Magical place and our campsite was near the store and visitors center. Its a tad small but you are not there for the campsite. The views were spectacular. We loved it.

Zion uncrowded (relatively) during the week at this time of the year. Could still drive the road...but needed to get up early, before 0600, to beat the road closure. Campground full...only Watchman open. Heated bathrooms and dishwashing stations with cold water only. Great late winter and spring hiking.
@MarkW2201412 · Camped on Feb 13, 2022 at Campsite #C2
Loved the space. The tent sites were level and clean. The washrooms were clean and staff was pleasant.
