This is a beautiful and perfect campground. 1. Camp Area - Clean and reasonably priced, with a conveniently located restroom nearby. - You can use the water for the dishwasher, unlike at GC. - Comes with a good table, chairs, and a fire pit. 2. Shower - Costs $4 and is a 5-minute walk away. - Alternatively, it’s a 10-minute walk. 3. Shuttle Bus Station - A 10-minute walk to the bus stop, with buses running every ten minutes. 4. Family area - nearby campground, there’s like a family area(a little park) 5. Check in and out You can just go to the campground and leave. Easy. Love Zion ✌️

This was such a beautiful campground! It was clean, and very well cared for. We did encounter several wildlife, but they were all pretty friendly. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked, and the walk to the visitors center was a breeze! We will be back!

Although it was very hot other than that the hiking I love it 10/10 I totally recommend this place if you are an outdoor person in my campsite. They had one huge fireplace. It was very spacious and it was just enough for all of our three families to be together the dining place it had a lot of red ants, but that’s just a part of nature if you don’t like red ants, then just go to another campground but if you like red or you’re fine with them, then I suggest you go to watchman campground

This place is perfect for traveling with kids. Although we only stayed for one night, we’ll definitely plan for at least two nights next time if we get the chance. It was great to take easy walks with the kids and explore using the shuttle. This might have been the most beautiful campsite of our entire trip. We actually saw more wildlife here than we did in Yellowstone.

Absolutely loved our stay at Watchman Campground in Zion National Park! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the visitor center and shuttle stop, which made getting around the park super easy. The views from the campground are incredible, especially at sunrise and sunset with the red rock cliffs all around. Our site was clean, spacious, and had a picnic table and fire ring. The bathrooms were well-maintained with running water, and there were plenty of water spigots around. No showers on-site, but easy access in nearby Springdale just outside the park. What we really appreciated was the peace and quiet, the well-spaced sites, and the direct access to some great trails like Watchman and Pa’rus. It felt like we were right in the heart of nature without giving up comfort. Highly recommend booking early—this place fills up fast and for good reason. Can’t wait to come back!

A beautiful spot and great campground however we weren't prepared for all of the creatures. We had a couple very large spiders on our site which made us nervous. If you're ok with that you should love this camping spot. Facilities are good. Clean. Scenery is beautiful. And we of course knew there are different creatures than we are use to however we didn't expect them to visit us at night. Just a heads up to people.

Great place. Kids have lots of fun but don't take your dog(s) if your planning on hitting the trails at Zion only 1 available for them. Other than that great place.

This campground is great. The view of the canyon walls makes for a perfect backdrop. Within walking distance of the visitor ceer and bus stop. Bathrooms are well maintained and generally clean. No showers, but that's not the end of the world. Overall, a great place to see Zion National Park from.

Great views and convenient location in Zion NP - right next to the visitor centre and shuttles, which means you don't have to fight for parking with all the other visitors. Facilities are adequate. Bathrooms can get quite disgusting after a while. Would be nice if they added showers at some point. Very difficult to stake a tent in the ground due to the rocky composition - we bent most of our stakes trying to do so. Most people used big rocks to stake their tent, but we didn't have the luxury of looking for them, as we had arrived during a windstorm very late at night. Sites have zero privacy. The campground is very loud/noisy, and there is minimal enforcement of quiet hours. Lots of blasting music and partying until the early hours of the morning. Great location, but there are more comfortable campsites around for the same price that have better/more facilities.

Nice sites, nice lay out, deer everywhere, beautiful views, priced right for the off season... Only issue was others obviously burning their garbage and plastics... the smell at time in that smoke was unmistakable and definitely off putting to anyone let alone an asthmatic. Someone needs to be aware and shut that down for everyones sake. Great campground despite some peoples poor choices
