If you're staying at Watchman Campground in Zion Canyon, I highly recommend getting a permit for Angels Landingit's an unforgettable experience. Also, don't miss out on the Canyon Overlook Trail and the epic Rock Trail. Both are absolutely worth it!

Site C21 was a beatiful site. The spacing between your neighbors is just enough. Restrooms were clean.

Absolutely beautiful view from the campground, and an easy walk to the visitor's center made catching shuttles easy without having to deal with parking. Also, an easy stroll to the river. Facilities Well-maintained. Our one complaint was that the staff did not enforce quiet hours and we had neighbors playing music loudly well past 11:00.

Very nice campground. The bathroom were ok, not very clean, by the 3rd day the woman's handicap stall was the only one with toilet paper, by the 4th day, the day we left there was no toilet paper. Good thing we always travel with a couple of rolls.

We camped one night and our site was very private and quiet. It was wonderful to be right in Zion National Park surrounded by nature and be up early to enjoy hiking the trails.

There is nothing like sitting in camp and watching the sun set over the Watchman mountains. Emerald Pools has always been a favorite; this year is better than last. Use shuttle stop 4, not 6, which is a hot mess of people over a single-track trail until the bridge at stop 5 opens back up. Look outside the canyon and outside the National Park for other destinations. Lower Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, is two hours away and worth the trip. Corral Pink Sand Dune State Park should be on your list. Returning to our Watchman Campsite was always worth it.

Nice campground and facilities. No supplies available inside the park so unless you want to wait an hour + getting back in the park through the understaffed entrance station stock up before w firewood etc... Btw if you have dogs they're virtually allowed nowhere, can't even drive on their precious scenic drive even after the shuttles stop running which dogs are not allowed on.

Tough to get a site.
Wish they would keep both campgrounds open

Watchman was so gorgeous! We’ve only been gone a few days and I already miss waking up to that view. I do HIGHLY recommend having a large fan or AC of some variety if you’re going in the summer. After a day of coming off trails, it was tough having a spot without much shade. But we will absolutely be back!

I absolutely love Zion Nation Park. The Wathcman campground is well maintained, clean, with families and it is within walking distance from the town of Springdale. Only problem is that people can be so loud even after 10pm at night at Zion Campgrounds making it harder to get good sleep if you're planning on taking the first shuttle the next day. Other than that you will get beautiful views, plenty of wildlife including lots of deer and plenty of space between campsites.

Great access to the shuttle/visitor center. Fantastic views and decent privacy. Well marked, clean sites.
@MariaC819 · Camped on Apr 11, 2021 at Campsite #C21
Beautiful, clean & perfect spot for camping. Three minute walk to shuttles & close enough to walk to town, shops & restaurants. Our family of 6 enjoyed every minute of our stay & we I’ll definitely be back.

This was my third time camping at Watchman campground, the sites were all well maintained, the bathrooms were clean, our neighbors were all quiet and respectful to the nature. Great experience and I would certainly come back again.
@HollyC103 · Camped on Feb 28, 2021 at Campsite #C21
Beautiful campground—great views, even ground, clean, quiet, dark. Was very happy with the site.

The campground was nice, quiet and very clean. Felt very safe being there and thank the team for keeping the restrooms safe sand clean.

Great spot, South centrally located in the park, Springdale amenities a stone's throw away, bring a bike of possible for grocery store trips.
