We had to move camp 3 nights in a row because thats all that was available. Not upset about that because we got to stay there for 3 nights! Loved our time there and we had a great experience and a lot of wild life coming around camp.

Loved our stay here inside the park! So close to the shuttle bus stop and the town, if I had to change anything Id have stayed in winter or spring so it wasnt so hot at night and I wish there were showers on site even if they were just cold showers but could walk to town and pay $5 for one. We had deer walk through our campsite at night which was amazing

We had an amazing time. Bathrooms were clean. We went to Zion Outfitters and paid $4 per 5 minutes to shower there. We saw them driving around to monitor sites. So they do take care of the place. Highly recommend. We had friends staying to camp and others who stayed in town. Those who stayed to camp had a better time because we were already there for the early morning hikes. Worth it.

The only downside to our campsite at Watchman Campground was the lack of trees capable of supporting hammocks. There was one tree big enough for a hammock but not a second one close enough that met the required diameter.

Beautiful campground. Very nice to be able to walk right to the shuttle. Bathrooms were clean. Lots of wildlife in the campground which was fun!

Spacious and quiet campsite. Very active with deer at all times of day and night, yet they wont bother you at all. Heated restrooms are so nice! Makes the restroom trip worth it. Great views.

I visited several campsites (via recreation.gov), and I can say this was the best. The site was level and clean. A herd of deer wandered around us peacefully. The restroom was clean and even heated. The only thing was that it was too cold (around 25f) in the morning. It shouldn't be the campsite's fault, but the problem was that it was difficult to know where I could get some firewood. I learned from the visitor center that I could get some at Happy Camper Market in Springdale. It was a few minutes walk, but I had to get out of the park. I wished I could have learned it before I got to the site; then, I might be able to get some before I entered the park.

There are big roaches in all of the restrooms! I believe they need some improvement on restrooms maintenance. Glad our site was far from the restrooms Our campsite was very close to the neighbor, not good for privacy. The view was unforgettable though.

We had a great time at this campsite! The bathrooms are kept really clean and I love that theres a deep sink for doing dishes and filling up reservoirs. The only thing I would change is I wish there were showers inside the park. But, thats not exactly a quick or easy fix. At any rate, this is an incredible place to camp!
@GraceS8007555 · Camped on Feb 27, 2022 at Campsite #C5
Beautiful campground. The sites are small but perfect for a base in the park and walking distance to town. The bathroom had a large counter, hot water, and hot air which were major luxuries for winter camping. Definitely will be coming back.

Two camp hosts and ranger super friendly and professional on 1/20/22. Thank you!

Campsite was beautiful. We loved seeing deer at dawn and dusk roaming around our site. The bathrooms were clean (although toilet paper ran out a few times) and well kept. Visitor's center and shuttle were only a short walking distance away. We can't wait to return!
