This campground, inside Mt. Zion National Park, is a very well set up site. I stayed in the A Loop (recommend if you have dogs as there is an asphalt driveway which helps keep the pups from dragging the crushed granite inside.) Electric hookups only, but there is a sewer and water station merely feet away. Some of the sites have huge parking area (I was in A029), that could easily fit a car or tow vehicle. And the views...amazing.
Excellent

Perfect location - about a 5 minute walk to the visitor center and shuttle bus pick up. Easy to get in and find after going through the park gates. As others have said, going in the East entrance could be quicker since you're not dealing with the crowds in town, but it's closer to the West entrance. Spot was easy to find and the lady who checked me in was very helpful. Spot itself overlooked a field and was at the end of a loop so it felt a little more private. Everything was clean and there is potable water available. The camp was a bit loud at night due to kids and large (possibly school) groups, but that's to be expected. Honestly, you can't beat waking up right below the giant Watchman and watching the sun rise over the mountains of Zion. I couldn't stop taking pictures during my stay. Truly magical.

We had a great time here. There were few campers, being winter. The surrounding views are epic. Would have liked hot water in the sink outside the bathrooms to wash dishes, but thats it!

Zion is magical in the evenings! The campground provides a space to soak it all in without all the hustle and bustle of the shuttle system.

Great campground. Very well maintained.

I love how the campground is situated at the beginning of the entrance to the park, close enough to walk to the area where you have market, shops, showers, brewery, etc. The campsite was spacious and I had a beautiful view of the rocky canyon mountains.

Beautiful campground that is also very convenient to the park entrance, shuttle system and town of Springdale. You don't even need to move your car once you are parked at the campground with the shuttle system.
Some Coverage

This was my fourth visit to Zion. I was surprised to find how unkept our site was. Weeds had grown past the markers for the site and were surrounding the firepit. Fires are once again allowed in the park, so seeing weeds right next to the firepit was disturbing. I glanced at other campsites; this was the situation with many of the sites in Watchman. In addition, the south campground is a mess. Finally, the road near tram station number one had a rather large deformity in it. There was nothing to caution cars or bikes; consequently, my brother hit it and went tumbling off his bike. He was taken to the hospital. After we got home, I emailed the park inquiring about information for their insurance. I still have not heard back from the park.
Major Issues

Great Campground! You can for the most part park the car and forget about it. Shuttle stop is within walking distance. There’s a little grocery/restaurant right next door. And the view of The Watchman as you sit around the campfire is amazing!

My friends and I stayed here and loved the campground. The only issue that we ran into was the wind at night and some thunderstorms but still had a fantastic time and loved being so close to all of the hikes.

Ive been to Zion and camped numerous times and by far this was the worst experience Ive had. The camp hosts were a little strict. I got a warning because I left to go to the restroom and left my beer there a long with a bottled water on the bench and received a warning citation. Thats the first time i gotten a citation and I camp A LOT. Also what bothered me the most and this had nothing to do with the campground is I applied 3 time for a permit to hike Angeles landing at $6 per application and all 3 times I got denied. Can you imagine how much money the park is making from denying everyone. I believe they shouldnt charge unless you win the hiking permit. I totally get it with the crowds that angels landing gets but to charge everyone and then deny them is robbery.

Loved Watchman Campground!

This is a great campground. It is very close to the entrance of the park. It is very close to the shuttle and the visitor center. The campground is very scenic. There isnt a lot of lights so it helps to see the Milky Way and the nighttime sky.

Well maintained campground and restrooms. Showers at the outfitter - about a 5 minute walk. Usable AT&T cell service.
