Great Campground, great scenery, nothing compares to Zion National ParkOnly comment, add electric to loops C & D or allow generator use during the day

Clean heated bathroom. I had cell phone coverage at Aspen loop. I loved drive through sites instead of back up.

Best campground ever. However the site is not the best. Tent is too close to the neighbor's site.

Some tent spots were very sunny in the afternoon, but nice campsite overall. Bathrooms a little far from some sites but were clean and lots of water available nearbt

We had a great time. The campground is quiet, there are deer that roam through. It's an easy walk to catch the Zion Tram. You're near town if you want to go out for a bite or a drink. Highly recommend.
Excellent

This is the most beautiful campground I've ever stayed at! It's right next to the park entrance and extremely convenient. I was there running a half marathon and hiking the narrows - the shuttle for the race left right outside the campground and the rental gear for the narrows was right there as well! Usually the park shuttle runs from there as well but it was the off season when I was there. All walkable and walking down to the town of Springdale was very easy.

Beautiful campground, very flat sites for tents. Not a tonne of shade so be prepared for that. The bin to leave items that could be used for future campers was great

The park is gorgeous, the campground itself is fine but the park and shuttle busses are crowded. Don't expect solitude in Zion.

Super pretty campsite, very clean bathrooms. Overall worth the money

Pretty views and not too close to other people. Parking spot and tent area were flat

Great views, very clean and convenient location.

A nice simple campground. We camped the last week of October. A few frosty mornings, but the days still warmed up reasonably. Having a shower facility is the only needed addition!

Supposedly, Watchman is a tent only campground and there is a separate section for RVs. Unfortunately, Zion National Park has blurred the lines and now you find $100,000 conversion vans parked next to the guy with a Coleman tent. I dont have any problem with yall who want to pitch your tent on top of your car or truck, but camping started as an inexpensive way for the common folk to experience the outdoors and enjoy family time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you have to bring all the comforts of home with you, its not camping! Stay in the RV Park and allow the common man a spot to pitch his inexpensive tent!

Great facility! Had a lot of fun there.
@KathrynM448 · Camped on Oct 28, 2021 at Campsite #D23
Wow! If you are going to visit Zion, this is the best place to stay. Since you are already inside the park, you don’t have to find parking (very hard to get a spot at the park. Beautiful views of the canyon right from your campsite. Facilities were excellent and very clean.

The views, it was right in the park with short walk to the shuttle. Staff when I checked in was very helpful. Gave me all the answer to my questions and tips on where to park once I checked out. I love this park. Truly the best experience for camping
@AlyssabethS591 · Camped on Aug 29, 2021 at Campsite #D23
The most beautiful campground I have ever stayed at. Sites had a bit of sun and shade, the perfect balance with beautiful canyon walls and mountains surrounding it. Clean bathrooms, nice and quite sites.

Great campground in spectacular spot.

The Watchman Campsite was much better than I anticipated. There were plenty of trees for shade and the site was away from the commotion near the visitor center (although that was just a short walk away). The bathrooms were very clean and always had toilet paper. There was only one large sink for dishes so I did have to wait a few times for other people. The only negative experience we had was with the squirrels. They were very use to people and would get close to us while we sat and ate. They even ate a hole in our tent to get inside and search for food. This happened to the campers across from us as well. The deer also roam the campsite and get very close and rummage through your things if left out.

We had a great stay here, highly recommend! Lots of space at the sites, firewood is for sale in the town nearby, and if you're renting gear in town to do The Narrows hike, walking there & parking at your site will save on the daily parking costs in town near the rental shop. Super close walking distance to the Zion visitor center, where the shuttle will pick you up. Only things to keep in mind are that the check-in/check-out station closed earlier than posted on the website, so keep in mind if you're arriving after 4:00pm, on weekends, or trying to do a walk-in. It was packed in October/November, so recommend reserving a site. Also, the bathroom hand dryers can be loud at night, so we were glad our site was further from the restrooms. Overall, an awesome campground to stay at!

Great place to stay! Very clean with nice sized campsites. Bathrooms were clean. Wish there were showers, but not a deal breaker. It was great being able to stay right in the park and it was very close and was within walking distance to Springdale and the buses. Great views of watchman. We stayed on loop D, in October and would definitely stay there again.
