Clean, quiet...not a whole lot of space between sites, and some, like mine, had no shade at all. But the site was dead flat, it made pitching the tent easy. It is a very short walk to the shuttle stop at the visitor center, which is a big bonus. Plus the sunrise and sunset is very beautiful from the campground, you don't need to go to far to see it.

We were very lucky to find a spot at Watchman Campground just a day before our visitespecially since its usually booked up to six months in advance! The campground is clean, quiet, and peaceful, with a beautiful location near the river. Its conveniently situated close to the visitor center, making it easy to explore Zion Canyon. We definitely hope to return in the future.

Beautiful place. Quite crowded. Show up after campsite opens if you want to be able to find a parking spot, and don't plan on your car leaving. Zion is a pain in the butt to enter and exit due to popularity.It was really stunning.For $30, I wish that the sink washing area had hot water. The urinal was broken in the closest bathroom. Bathrooms seemed to be heated, so it was nice in there compared with outside.Bring in wood if you want a fire. Fire pit was good. Grill grating doesn't go that low if you are trying to cook over coals. Nice table. No rain coverage, so bring an awning if you are hanging out in camp.

The ground was too hard to secure our tent stakes and it was quite windy at night. Otherwise, it was a nice campground.

We enjoyed our stay at Watchman. The campground is lovely and fellow campers were friendly. There was no shade on our pitch at all which we struggled with, but other than that it was great

Loved our time here. So great to have a "parking space" in the park, and a place to relax after the days activities.
Bathroom is new and well maintained.

Best camp site in the park. The only thing it needs is a shower in the bathroom.

Good facilities, amazing views from the campground, and easy access to the Visitor Center, shuttles, and the footbridge to town.

It is a lovely campsite. More trees and shade would make it even lovelier.

We camped in Loop C, which was tent only, and were there for 5 nights. Our site was close to the bathroom, which was great. With the lovely new bathroom, felt like we were "glamping." The campground was quiet most of the time, lovely stars, surrounded with a 300 degree set of spectacular mountains, etc. Sites were well spaced for privacy. Deer in campground, which were fun to see. We could just walk over to the visitor center to catch the shuttle up the canyon, or walk to many of the trailheads in the park, instead of having to try to get a parking space before perhaps 7 or 8 am otherwise. Overall, it was an A plus, plus, plus.

The best place to stay in Zion for a tent camp experience. Restrooms were cleaner than expected with soap, running water, water basin outside, and water spigot for refilling water jugs. ADA/ Family restroom also available. Information for a shower posted in outside info board for those interested in a shower. It was a quiet place to stay. Very relaxing. I would stay here again. One of my favorite National Parks to visit.

Very convenient location to the visitor center, shuttle, and a couple nice trails. I got some cell service at the campground, and the nearby visitor center also has wifi. Make sure you also book a shuttle ticket when you book your campsite! I didn't realize this was a separate thing that I needed to do, and missed out on being able to hike the trail I wanted to on my second day
@KaraU24B0CD688 · Camped on Sep 1, 2020 at Campsite #C28
Beautiful campsite with plenty of room. I was worried about shade but the canyon walls block out the sun giving time for the camp to cool down. Highly recommend!

Spacious site. It great that you can easily walk to the visitor center, trams, and even into town.
