Campsites are a bit close to each other. The campsite next to is got there at 11 pm making a lot of noise setting up. Everything else was great. The store was walking distance if you dont want to drive. Bathroom was clean.

Campground is conveniently located close to the visitor center. Campsites are well spaced, flat and clean. in a beautiful location. Only downer was the campervan across from us who ran their noisy van for 4 hours (4-8pm). Weather was 98F but it really killed it for us sitting outside trying to relax.

The campground is very beautiful and quiet. The view from came site is fantastic. The mountains are just right there. I like that the tent area are gravel, very neat and easy to clean up. Toilets are also clean. Walkable distance to the visitor center shuttle. The three days we were there, it was very windy at night, maybe due to the canyon geography. The wind made it colder at night, and a lot of noise with the tent. It didn't bother me. But it will be nice to bring ear plugs, warmer sleeping bag, and extra layers.

Heated bathrooms were a pleasant surprise! Pay showers are nearby if needed. Loved the deer in camp and proximity to the visitor's center and canyon shuttle.

Amazing hiking and scenery. Bring lots of water and hiking sticks

We had a great time at the campground in Loop D! We were there for 4 days/3 nights. The location is wonderful - it's a short walk over the entrance bridge to the store where you can get firewood, food, and just about any other snack or tool you might need. The prices were reasonable. The rental places there were also great - we rented bikes for a day and there is also a place you can shower ($4/5 minutes). The cafe has coffee, smoothies, wifi, and limited indoor and outdoor seating. The brewery also has indoor and outdoor seating and was a great spot for food post-hiking. We had moderate cell service from Tmobile and Verizon in the campground. The campground bathrooms were clean and there was an outside spigot that was useful for washing feet and larger non-food items. We appreciated that there were recycling containers (just past the campground entrance), particularly for small propane containers. Deer came through the campground regularly and didn't bother anyone. The walk to the shuttle stop was also short and made it easy to catch the first shuttle in the morning.

Great campground but stop allowing people to use their generators especially at peak times. There is no reason their desire to have a full battery should ruin the experience for all those around them.
No Service

One of the cleanest, nicest campground I have been in.

Excellent experience. Need a minimum of two nights to see the park. We stayed for six nights and did almost everything. Shuttle bus system works great. Only had one night of semi-noisy camping neighbors.

What a gem! Next time I need more time to explore the beauty of Zion. There so much to see. Around every bend there is another photo opportunity.

Very clean. Camp sites nice with hard pack gravel and well demarcated. Bathrooms clean. A little disappointed that rude campers were permitted / not reprimanded by camp host for playing loud music and talking until 1am, well after quiet hours.

This is a very nice camping experience. Especially value the separation of large RV's and generators from the tent/light vehicle sights.

What a wonderful camp site! We stayed at D loop site, only take about 5 minutes walk to visitor center. Super convenience. You can always find restrooms, water nearby. Just a few minutes walk out the Springdale entrance, you can find foods and a few souvenir stores. Don't forget to rent the dry gears and equipment here if you plan to hike the narrow. We arrived early about 10:30am before the check in time. We tried to find a parking spot in the public parking for 20 minutes but out of luck. So we asked the camp host if we can check in early and she is so nice to let us in to see if our site is available. Luckily it was. So we can park our car there and start our amazing journey right after. We only stay one night there, definitely, it is not enough to explore all the amazing views, trails of the park. We already planning to come back soon. LOL!

The Watchman campground is very nice with excellent facilities and access to Zions visitors center and the town of Springdale. However, avoid holiday weekends like the plague! Too many Southern Californians flock to Zion with no camping etiquette, regard for others, or respect for guidelines regarding quiet hours or site group size. Also, the cannabis culture, as usual, does not believe other states laws regarding pot or federal laws regarding pot apply to them. They stink up the entire campground. There was also zero enforcement by park staff. Thats great news for idiots and potheads, bad news for families who want to enjoy the great outdoors.

Watchman Campground in Zion NP was really great. The sites are not huge, but I had no problem pulling my camper van into the tent loop. I loved that the RVs and tent sites were separate, as it kept the campground quiet at night. It is a beautiful setting, and so close to the visitor's center and the town of Springdale. I would highly recommend this campground to anyone wanting to explore Zion, but make your reservations early!
