The site was very nice, but there was no shade and it was hot.
Excellent

Had a wonderful time at Watchman. The bathrooms were very clean and there is a dish sink there, which I didn't know about before arriving. The host was friendly and accommodating as we had an extra vehicle. She let us know where to park it close by. Beware of sneaky squirrels. The Visitor's Center is close by, within walking distance and hiking as well. I recommend the Watchman Trail as it was beautiful, not as crowded and not too hard. We were in D08, which was not as shaded so we were glad we brought our pop up canopy. I would not recommend the Riverside Walk as it was ridiculously crowded.

Great sites, amazing to be able to walk over to the visitor center and shuttle. Bathrooms were great and had a dish washing tub as well.

Watchman campground is very nice! The sites are close together, but that seems reasonable given how popular Zion is. The facilities are very clean and the staff are super friendly. I'm happy we visited in March - it was SUPER cold on some of the nights (we moved to the group site with friends) and we got rain/snow plus cold on one morning. But the crowds weren't horrible and the daytime temps were pretty great!

Very nice surroundings, large campsites, clean toilets. If you are lucky, youll have the visit from a deer !

The park was very full during this spring break week. However, our reservation worked flawlessly, the campground was clean and orderly, quiet at night, and we had a great time.

It was loud, just too many people around. Also, missing showers - if the restaurant has water access, they had working-non-stop water sprinklers outside for customers. So why no simple showers in the campground?

We LOVE ZION!
We would have liked to know though ahead of our stay that we would have construction happening near our site during the days. We understand the construction might be a good thing and necessary, but it was an unpleasant surprise.
we will be back and grateful for the time we had in this spectacular place... :-)

Nice campsites in loop D for small RVs, trailers, vans and tents. No connections but paved pull-outs with fire rings, tables and level gravel areas. Bathrooms were clean and heated.
Some Coverage

Great campground, quiet, clean, and dumpstations nearby. We were able to camp and wake up in the morning and walk to the first trolley in Zion. If we come back, we will definitely be staying here again. Cant beat the proximity.

Great location just inside the park and close to the shuttles and clean showers at the outfitters store.
@ClemenceH8EA2F · Camped on Nov 9, 2022 at Campsite #D8
Beautiful views from every spot, clean and heated bathrooms, very close to the visitors center and Springdale center (yet very quiet) : that makes it the perfect campground!
@PhillipC427815 · Camped on Apr 21, 2022 at Campsite #D8
Very quiet. Clean bathrooms. Easy access to re-supply.

Beautiful, easy check in, big sites

The Watchman campground is one of the best campgrounds I have ever visited. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. I loved our site because of the view, there were two large flat spaces for tents, and no one behind us because it was a restoration area. A beautiful deer spent hours in the restoration area one evening while we made dinner. My kids loved watching it. Not sure if it is a plus or minus, but I had 5g cell service! good distance to the trash dumpsters and very clean bathrooms. Only downside would be that in the summer the site had zero shade. This wasn't an issue for us in April, but I think it could be very hot in the summer.

Great experience and absolutely stunning surroundings. Camping within walking distance to the Visitors Center shuttle stop was incredibly convenient. Check-in was simple and our spot was easy to find. Wish they would have sold fire wood in the campground - had to go into Springdale to purchase any. Springdale is so close that it wasn't a big deal, but had we known that in advance we would have picked up wood before getting settled at our campsite.

Overall the campground was great. However, they cut down the tree at this campsite (D008) and there is 0 shade. They need to update the description of this site. You need to know what you are getting in 100degree temps, especially when traveling with children.

@DanielB429 · Camped on May 17, 2021 at Campsite #D8
When we booked the campsite D008 it said it had shade. However, there was no shade because the trees had been cut down.

Super-convenient location, clean restrooms, perfect for a week of family spring camping
