Very nice and clean. My issues with the campground were my own. My tent was not free standing (semi-freestanding) and the earth at each site looked really nice but was as hard as a rock. I couldn't set up my tent at all, I had to sleep in my vehicle. Bathrooms were really nice. A lot of people. I would gladly go back again!

Great campground, great sites, clean bathrooms, the only negative is there needs to be showers somewhere.

Other than that one deer that chewed and made holes on our tents window screen, everything else is good lots of shade and close proximity to restrooms. The deers here must be really hungry!

The location was great. Easy to access, easy to find my spot despite being well beyond daylight. The only unfortunate part was that the folks camping across from me had an untold amount of lights. Streaming on their tents, headlamps, and high-beam electric lanterns (along with a large bonfire which of course would've been fine on its own). Despite this, my spot was fantastic and the views of the looming formations and dark night sky were incredible, can only imagine how much more I could've seen if they hadn't been producing their own town's worth of light polution!

Waking up here is amazing! Not only are you surrounded by breathtaking scenery, but the deer come through the campground to peacefully graze throughout the day. The Visitors Center is a short walking distance away, as is Zion Outfitters where you can take a hot shower and wash/dry laundry. The shuttles can be accessed at the Visitor Center.

Beautiful canyon, not much space between campsites. Tent surfaces are gravel. Be prepared.
No Service

Very good overall due to excellent location within the park and great views from every site. Some downsides we expected: no showers and very little shade available. Unexpected downside was lack of any available electric outlets in the bathrooms. We flew to zion with backpacking equipment and had to crank up our rental car to charge our phones. My garmin died, which I really could have used on hikes in the park.

Great experience in a gorgeous spot! The rock views were beautiful, the bathrooms were clean and the water was easy to access.
I do wish there were some type of shower available because desert hiking and no showers isn't my favorite thing. The week we visited, the pay showers in nearby Springdale were out of order.

I love staying in Watchman Campground. Winter is a great time to stay there because you almost have the park and campground to yourself.

This campground has an excellent view and wonderful facilities. We stayed in loops C and D and had a wonderful experience.

No showers??? Are you kidding me? One of the top national parks in the United States, in a hot and dusty desert environment and you have to LEAVE THE PARK just to bathe? Aside from that the campsite was CRAWLING with cockroaches and huge black beetles at night. Arrived after sunset and couldn't stomach setting our tent up because the gravel was moving. We ended up sleeping in the car that night. We set up the tent during the following day while the sun was out. Luckily the bugs don't seem interested in getting in the tent, we still didn't leave our shoes outside. Couldn't imagine needing to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and putting on shoes with a roach in there. Utility sink at the bathrooms, surprise, had roaches in it when we went to clean dishes. Bathrooms were so dirty the entire time we stayed there. Would not recommend. The park is beautiful, and I'd love to come back to finish the trails we didn't get to, but the campground is a middle finger to anyone who wants to visit and was honestly such a gnarly blemish on what was otherwise one of America's most famous national parks.

Always a great place to stay!

It is a nice campground. I stayed here because I came hiking in Zion. I have stayed here before in different areas camping but this is the most convenient as you can use the park shuttle and the shuttle to town.

nice campground, good amenities, clean bathrooms. would be nice to have more room between campsites, but it's also nice to have more campsites so what can you do. keep up the good work!
