Great location, easy walk to bathrooms, visitor's center, rental equipment and shuttles. Camp spot was Loop D #02. Tent pads are nice and flat, semi-protected by trees. Camp spots are a bit close together and railroad tie edge barriers seem to be a tripping hazard, but overall, a great location, and scenic.

The campground was in a great location with beautiful scenery. The bathroom facilities were clean and well-stocked. The campsites were pretty close together, but for the most part, people were respectful of the quiet times. However, we should have moved our vehicle to the parking lot at the visitor's center early (like 7:00AM) in order to get a parking space there prior to the check out time at the campsite. We ended up having to pay for parking outside of the park. We enjoyed the lower Emerald Pools trail with our small children (and saw a snake eating a frog!). The shuttle service was very easy to use. The ranger-led talk about "Nature Stinks" gave us something to talk about for the rest of our trip and beyond.

This campground is beautiful (though we are excited for the improvement/expansion work being done). When we checked in we were warned about the squirrels and deer, which was appreciated!We will definitely be staying here again next time we visit.

Nice campground. No soap in bathrooms. Very close to each other. Sun in unbearable in the afternoon hours and no shade.

Beautiful scenery and quiet at night. Would definitely stay again. A little bit smoky from
the number of campfires.

Incredible views from Watchman! Showers and laundry in town are an easy walk and everything was very accessible from the campground. Sites are kind of close together, but other than that, a great convenient spot!

This campsite wasn't the biggest, but had enough room for multiple tents. Luckily we got a spot with some shade, as it was very hot in direct sunlight. It was close to the bathroom and shuttle stop. We only stayed one night, but it was very enjoyable. My wife and children did the emerald pools hikes and I did the Angel's Landing trail. I'm sure if you're reading this, you have seen other reviews. If you want to do Angel's landing in a reasonable time, catch that first shuttle to the grotto. I got up at 4:30am and was in the front of the line at 5:15am. By 5:30 the line was very long. I wish we had more time to explore some of the other trails.
Only down side was that there were no showers for the campgrounds and we could not light campfires due to drought conditions, which is understandable. Overall, we had a great experience.

Perfect spot it was in the corner so we only had one side where there was people next to us it was perfect distance to the bathroom and great distance to walk over to where the shuttles are at!

Although driving in to Watchman through the hustle and bustle of the visitor's center, once arrived and set up the quiet calm of camp life ensued. The campground was full yet all other campers were quiet and respectful. During a busy season, Im thankful I could reserve my site in advance.
