Very close to visitor center and shuttle stop, well maintained including fire pit, well marked, optimum distance from other sites.
Good

We were at campsite number 39 and it was beautiful. We were in loop D. My only complaint is nowhere. Was it posted that the closest bathroom was closed. The sign said closed for renovations, and I imagine it was being performed during the off-season. But, those of us who visited during the off-season were quite far from a bathroom. Fortunately, we bring our bikes, but in the middle of the night this was not too good as I used the car and probably woke some people up when I drove to the bathroom.

I love Zion and Watchman is a nice convenient campground as you can walk to the Visitors Center and Shuttle Busses.
My complaint and the reason I didn't rate my experience higher is that we were there for four days and had to move to a different campsite each night. We are tent campers so this was a big pain. Plus you need to check out of the campsite you are in by 11:00 and if the one you are moving to is slow to move out you have to wait around till you can move. This can kill much of your day. I saw a number of sites that didn't have anyone in them and I think the reason for that is if you decide to cancel your reservation you only get $1.50 credit back. There is no incentive to spend your time to cancel and I think this needs to be changed. Even if it were $5.00, that would at least be something.

Loop D was grassy (in early May), well spaced and quiet, close to Visitor Center and shuttle busses
Good

Amazing place to stay if you are going to Zion. The shuttles are right across the street at the visitors center so you don’t have to fight the crowds for parking.

The view from the campground was stellar. Quite, clean, organized. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great views, easy to check in and out (very intuitive and makes a ton of sense). Bathrooms are clean, heated, and close by. Having the potable water and faculties near by is also very much appreciated. It's not wilderness camping but for what you get it's awesome and very convenient.

Loved being right in the park. I was able to get a last minute campground from a cancellation. The shuttle service works really well!! Everything was clean and quiet.

Visiting Zion is one thing, camping in Zion is something else entirely. Waking up in the midst of morning-mist canyons is incomparable. Falling asleep after the exhaustion of bike-riding and hiking up to a plateau is the best way to end a day. Watchman Campground provides the perfect outdoor camping exsperience. Glad I did it and I'll do it again.

Best trip ever!!

Excellent campsite accommodated 2 tents and it seemed that our site had the best shade. Deer wandered around frequently.
@JamesT8733204 · Camped on Oct 1, 2019 at Campsite #D39
Great site, well kept. Zion couldnt be more beautiful. Would happily stay here again.
@PeterC9618469 · Camped on Jul 9, 2019 at Campsite #D39
Stayed here during a great solo trip. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. My site was great and had easy access to the shuttle. The Narrows and Angels Landing were both fabulous hikes!

This is our second year in a row camping with our children. We have enjoyed it both times. We are already planning on a third trip and bringing more people. It is so beautiful and we enjoy watching the deer walk through our campsites. We take a hike and always stop off at the lodge for a traditional beer and ice cream for the kids. The beauty is breathtaking and the stars at night are beyond description. This is our new family tradition.
