Really great campground! Convenient location, clean bathrooms, beautiful views. Not too loud either, not sure what else youd want out of a campsite.

No showers available but sites were clean and area maintained. Beautiful views. Quick walk to the visitors center will get you on the shuttles that take you to the trail heads you want.

Nice campsite but all campsites are very close together. The bathroom is nearby and was clean. Excellent dishwashing sink available too. About a half mile walk to the visitor center.

Great location but campsites close together and the group tent sites near loop D were very noisy late into the evening! Lots of big groups around with several cars cramped onto sites. campground showing as fully booked online but we stayed 3 nights and there were often empty sites where people hadnt turned up.

One of the prettiest campgrounds I have ever been to. Clean and tidy

Great campground. Beautiful scenery around. The bathroom toward end of D Loop has warm water and the bathroom itself is heated which is nice during cold weather days. Within walking distance to the Visitor center and to the shuttle stops (both for Zion and for Springdale).

Beautiful campsite with breathtaking scenery and star-studded nights. We have been returning here for years, drawn by the clean facilities and the convenient proximity to shops and showers in Springdale.During our stay, there was a large group that was quite loud and seemed overcrowded for their site, staying up late into the night. I hope the ranger enforced the strict rules of quiet hours. Despite this, our overall experience was positive.

The location and place itself was beautiful. The employee who checked us in 03/16 at the gate to the campground. Was rude and sarcastic. I was so upset and I didnt even catch her name.
@DeannaN03AB951 · Camped on Feb 16, 2023 at Campsite #D18
Beautiful campsite tucked into the valley, easy access to the park and Springdale. Lovely and peaceful on Thursday and Friday night, it was a bit rowdy on Saturday night. Chilly and darker between 6pm and 10:30/11am.

Very clean sites and feel a warm place for my family camping

Good camp ground with hood facilities. It is very hot but thats part of it.
@MichaelW480 · Camped on Oct 27, 2021 at Campsite #D18
Very convenient to the visitor center and the rest of the park. Average sized sites

Great, Kolob Canyons and the top down narrows were the best part.

The campsite is super clean and close to the bus for morning hikes. Fun to watch the local deer and lizards welcoming you to the site.

We enjoyed our stay in this campground, the watchman visitor center is really close, you can find there groceries. We biked every evening to watch the sunset. The sites are big, the restrooms super clean and the host are really nice.
The coverage with Verizon was spotty but got better with the booster.
Would stay here again for sure!

We enjoyed our stay!!The campground is walking distance from the shuttle. The sites are mid size, with gravel, not very private but its ok. The restrooms clean, no showers. There are groceries really close from the campground. We saw deer and tons of lizards around. Verizon coverage was spotty but improved with the booster. Would stay here again.
@KirkK290 · Camped on May 26, 2021 at Campsite #D18
Great location that is close to the shuttle. The bathrooms are clean with good water supply. The sites are a bit close and several people were noisy after quiet time.
