The campsite was excellent. Clean nice facilities and scenic. The only detractor was of the park itself in the fact that they just admit far too many people. Parking was a huge issue circling for extended periods even midweek. Huge crowds that definitely induce stress and detract from the experience.

Zion, of course is awesome. Too bad rest rooms dont have showers. Hopefully the new South campground will have modern facilities.

The campground was clean, quiet, and a spectacular place to make camp during my visit to Zion National Park.

Best campground weve done so far. Very well maintained and the view on the canyon is magical. very close to the restroom but the pathway are clearly defined so people are not crossing through the location

We were in C017, near the restroom facilities, which was very convenient. However, in support of the intent of quiet hours, disabling the electrically-powered air dryers in the bathroom from 10pm-7am would be MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

Love the watchman campground. Clean bathrooms, sites are spacious and spread out, shade is abundant and close to the showers.

Camping within the Zion NP was a dream come true. Watchman and its able staff provided a clean and comfortable stay and we appreciated the chance to visit.

Great spot ! Awesome view perfect day.
@GaryG8138589 · Camped on Jun 18, 2022 at Campsite #C17
Campsites on this loop of the campground are very close to each other which does not allow for any privacy whatsoever. There is no shade and the adjacency of the campsite to the bathrooms is a problem. We had to constantly listen to the electric hand dryers late into the evening. On the positive side, the campsites and restroom facilities are well maintained.

Clean, well maintained and in a good location.

The campsite was large. The bathrooms were very clean. Considering the changing weather it was very nice to be protected by the canyon.

Great spots at Watchman! Shady and sunny spots with picnic tables and fire rings with a great view!! Close to the visitor center and a short walk to the shuttle bus! Clean bathrooms but the womens did run out of toilet paper at one point and it didnt seem to get replaced until next day. Clean campsites as well, we always make sure to pick up any trash that is laying around to help. Do your part and keep this place clean and enjoyable for everyone!

Beautiful campground with clean bathrooms. Within waking distance to the Visitor Center and shuttle stop.
@JulianH562 · Camped on Nov 25, 2021 at Campsite #C17
Great location! It was conveniently in the park and across the way from the visitors center—making access to the shuttle really close. Campground and bathrooms were clean. The view nestled between the mountains was spectacular to wake up to the sun rising in the early morning warming up the mountain tops and it’s vibrant colors.

@CarlyR400 · Camped on Aug 27, 2021 at Campsite #C17
Site was fine. It was right next to the bathrooms, which seemed like a great idea, but it was noisy and there was a light shining on our site all night. The dumpster is also located just off the car park, which also drew a lot of campers and noise. It was overflowing and bees were everywhere because of it.

The restrooms are in town so its a bit of a trek to get clean. Also, the water heater was out so it was a bit of a shock. Our site did not have much shade and was in the sun all afternoon. If you want to stay during the day of your check out, we moved our car to the public parking lot before 6am to secure a spot and then carried our remaining camping equipment there.

We did the Watchman hike before sunrise so we could see it light up the canyon. I highly recommend it. The trail head is just past the shuttle stop. We were the only ones up there for nearly an hour.
