Good location

The campground and facilities are very well maintained. The sites are a good size and are laid out well. The location is perfect- just a short walk to the shuttle. Don't plan to drive stakes into the ground as it is too rocky for that. Also know that it gets very windy at night, but the views are absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend the campground and would stay there again.

Watchman campground was fantastic. The views were great, the campsite was clean and large enough for 6 of us, and the facilities were nice and close by. Would definitely visit again!

This campsite has stunning views and access to incredible trails. I would recommend calling the Rangers about the status of various facilities before choosing your campsite. We selected our site based on proximity to one of the bathroom facilities that turned out to be closed and electrical service that was not working. We would have packed differently and chosen a different site. Call Ahead.If you visit during winter, get to the Scenic Route EARLY because it will close when all the parking spaces are full. Quite a few visitors just assumed they would have access on demand and spent most of the day in a queue waiting to get in. The Rangers did a fantastic job managing the flow of visitors in and out of the parking spaces, but the demand vastly exceeded the supply. Summer rules require everyone to ride the buses, so it is not an issue during that season.Great Campsite with proximity to a National Treasure. We would highly recommend it.

Great place to camp

this campsite is fully exposed during the day with no shade. very hot! but, convenient for stargazing. bathrooms were fairly well maintained with nice sinks outside. no showers, which was a disappointment but you can pay to shower at a privately owned business within walking distance to the campground. dead and dry tall grass throughout the campground currently. the grass went all the way up to and into the fire pit.

Love the campsite. Highly recommend. We will certainly be staying here in the future.

Great site close to the facilities. One of the quietest campgrounds I have visited. Even though every site was full you would not have known that. No loud generators just blissful nature. I would definitely recommend to others. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

As budgets are (at least partially) restored, it would be nice to see park employees. Other than the "toll-taker" and the person checking our reservation and id, we did not see an actual National Park employee.
The concession and shuttle staff were pleasant and efficient, as was the campground host.
Thanks for a very good stay.

Campground was ok. Nice being in the park. Depending on the other visitors, it may be quiet or very loud. Overall, ok experience.

This campsite was a great experience! You are in the park with full Zion views at all times and so close to the park shuttle. You are walking distance to the town outside the park with restaurants, shopping, rental, etc. The bathrooms stay clean and the noice stays pretty quiet. You will see plenty of deer running through the campsite.
