I always camp at Watchman because its super convenient for the shuttles. The restrooms are consistently clean, and theres great food just a short walk away.

The National Park and campsite were well maintained. Loved this campsite for our family with small children ( 2 and 4) was close enough to walk to visitor center, into town ( showers/ firewood/ market) and the shuttles. Lots of paths through campsites were great for our kids to ride their bikes and scooters.

Perfect location in the park. Close to visitor center and shuttle stop.Restrooms were cleaned and disinfected properly every morning.
Major Issues

Very good place inside of the Zion to avoid parking which is big problem for vistiorsClean restroom with little shade.At the end of May, dry grass was everywhere, it is risk to get fire due to cooking/wind.

Zion is amazing, highly highly recommend. The campground is centrally located to everything we needed; the visitor's center and Zion Outfitters were both <5 minute walks away, and the shuttle stop is just as close. Highly recommend the showers at Zion Outfitters if you need one. Our campsite was great and we saw some mule deer in the mornings who came very close to our campsitebe careful, they'll definitely take your food! This site (12) was close enough to the bathrooms that it wasn't inconvenient, but not so close that it was loud all night. I would stay here again.

Nicely clean bathroom that is kept comfortably warm on cold nights and mornings! Oversized sink outside restrooms for dish washing and fresh spring water to fill your water bottles or to cook with. Highly recommend applying for the “day before” permit to hike Angel’s Landing and if the Narrow is open you have to do it or at least a portion of it. Have fun and be safe!

Campground is excellent. We were able to gaze star from our tent.I would have been great if they had showers. We had to go to Springdale for showers.
@LaetitiaG582B9 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #C12
Very nice location inside the park. The Showers are located in Outfitter zion in Springdale for extra charge.

Nice campground. Spring break made the campground a bit noisier than normal. Close to everything and very convenient to trails, trams, etc.

Bathrooms were clean, everyone was relatively quiet, amazing views-unbeatable! Lots of deer walk through the campground and it scared me on the first night when they hit the tent. Walkable to the visitor center where you catch the shuttles. Visitor center area also has restaurants, payable showers and a camp store with all the essentials--propane etc. Would come again!

The campground was in a beautiful setting with the surrounding mountains. Being late Fall, the foliage was amazing as well. I loved seeing the deer hanging out in the empty sites, and a word of warning... Put your stuff away when you leave your camp! The people next to me left early for a sunrise hike and when I woke up, the deer were digging through their trash and whatever else was left out! My neighbors were loud, but I cant knock the campground for that, were all our own individuals.. The bathrooms were nice and clean. My only issue was the ground was so hard, I bent almost every single spike when setting up my tent. Bent as in ruined, as I need all new spikes. Im not sure why the ground was so hard since its used so often, but I definitely needed to anchor it down because those winds can whip pretty good! Id love to return for more than a quick night at some point!
