Lovely site under the Watchman. Clean and well lit facilities and beauty unlike any other.

So great to be right in the park, and hop on the shuttle to various awesome viewpoints and hikes.

Lovely campground near the Visitor's Center. Nice spot, close to the restrooms.

Amazing views of the Watchman, early accessible and navigate through the loop to our site. Major downside to our handicap accessible site was that the tent pad was hard red clay, compared to the standard dirt pads for most of those surrounding our site. Otherwise, a great campsite!

Not a lot of shade, but has awesome views of the Watchman. Spacious campsite and accessible to toilets.

Gorgeous campground!! Everything was walking distance!! Breathtaking views all around and the bathrooms were so clean! There was also a large sink for cleaning camping cookware. Firewood was available at the local mart with any every essential camping/glamping item you may need. The best thing about this campground was how quiet, clean, and well kept campsites! 10/10 will be back!!!

In short, bring earplugs! Noisy, disrespectful campers making trips to the bathroom at 2am and letting their diesel truck run for 15 minutes just 20 feet from our tent. Yelling boys in the group area at 7:30am. "Social Sallys" drinking and talking loudly 25 feet from our tent until midnight. Construction noise from the "improvements" their making to the north campground starts before sunrise. Another camper got up in the middle of the night and ran their car for over an hour, again about 25 feet from our tent. Someone finally got up and told them to turn it off or leave. They drove away. We stayed 4 nights and two of those got very little sleep. I would never stay in this campground again and I have a National Parks Pass!!

Sometimes the bathrooms close for cleaning for a bit too long. Some camp sites are next to each other with no brushes or trees dividing them. Which sucks.

Zion's is amazing, beautiful place. Just a few issues with the campground. The Watchman was the only one open, the others must have been impacted by flash flooding, so they are closed. That drastically limits availability. One of the bathrooms was closed in the campground and there were only port-a-potties at the last stop on the shuttle. This is a bit disappointing, as people have to GO! Also, It would be good to have some garbage cans outside the bathrooms, as I noticed people just leave random garbage in and around the facilities. This is mostly due to bad camping behavior, but I think it would clean up a bit if they had a place to put their garbage. The signage for paved paths through the campground is a bit confusing. Especially for disabled.

The campsite was great. Close to the restrooms, which were super clean. I generally love the Watchman Campground, weve been there multiple times.

Outstanding campsites- easy access to park shuttles & the Watchman trail- an outstanding hike BTW. Also easy access by walking to developed area just outside park ($4 showers at the outfitters & groceries). Sky was pretty dark at campsite & Milky Way was easy to see.

A gorgeous site. Just beautiful. Hot in the summer so bring shade and no showers so a shower bag is a must. Really easy walking distance to shuttle.

Lovely campground, quiet, easy to find, close to visitor center and shuttles. Toilets were clean, grounds were clean and well maintained.

We camped at Watchman in C Loop from June 16-18. The weather was gorgeous with cool mornings and evenings and hot afternoons, so you have to have a little bit of everything clothing wise. Seeing the sun rise and set on those majestic mountains is everything--just breath taking. We witnessed 3 falling stars looking up at the darkened sky for an hour. My husband and I brought our two grandsons (ages 2 and 6). They had a blast as there was no TV, and we told them there was no internet for phone viewing. We visited the Visitor Center on Sunday, and it was very hard to find a parking space (only complaint). We walked the Pa'Rus trail which allowed us to use the wagon (to pull the boys in) for about two hours. It's a nice paved way next to the river. We really can't wait until next year, and I'll be sure to book a few more days in this extremely beautiful national park.

Loved it. Amazing views in every direction. Short walk to shops and showers. There was some music from town I could have done without in the evening. It was very cold at night but bathroom was warm. Bathrooms could have used a daily checkup as they weren't swept or trash emptied while we were there. A guy drove up and looked like he was gonna clean, but I don't think he ever did we were there 3 nights. The dish washing station is very handy but bring a shish pan as others left a mess. Showers over at outfitters were nice and it was worth buying 2 tokens each. It is very convenient to stay here to go hiking. And we enjoyed all of the trails we tried no use worrying about which one to choose they are all great. Highly recommend this campground if you are going to Zion. Lines into the park looked long in the morning.

Us and two other campers were the only ones in the campground. There were more deer than campers, but it was January.

Campsite close to shuttle stop, a lot of wildlife to be seen and well functioning toilets

The Watchman campground is the perfect base camp for all your adventuress in the park.

I loved this camping spot
@AntonioDD5C7B1 · Camped on Jun 14, 2022 at Campsite #C16
Great facilities and location near the village and river. We LOVED Zion! Theres even a little-known coffee shop in the village and if you have a parks pass you can use the fast pass to get back in the park quickly. Hike the narrows- its one of a kind and make sure to apply for the permit to do Angels Landing! Spectacular view and totally worth it! The only downsides to this campsite were that our site was infested with cockroaches (I came out of the tent one night and there was twenty on a single piece of pasta that had fallen) and the water spout was always surrounded by bees (never got stung but made me really anxious each time I filled up). The bees decided to hover constantly when we were cooking one night and we had to eat and cook with one hand shooing them away the whole time. We told the ranger about it so maybe theyve solved the problems?

Generously large corner site for solo traveler. Very kind neighbors. Lil dust bunnies made for allergies. Easy trek to hop on bus. Super accessible. Lots of deer gazing within close range. There's a sink to wash your dishes. Amazing. Everyone's nice.
@JenniferZC4A36 · Camped on Mar 20, 2022 at Campsite #C16
The campsite is in a beautiful location, but be ready for noisy campers in the area. Not unexpected of course. The site was level and easy to navigate.

It was a nice site, the only problem was that the restroom close to the site were seasonally closed,
