We had a beautiful campsite right beneath The Watchman. Plenty of space, a fire pit, electrical hookups, a river nearby - couldnt have been happier. Gorgeous place to be amongst the stunning landscape.

Good campground inside the NP. You are surrounded by the mountains and nature. All facilities available except a shower. ( but we knew this) The ranger session on the evening was really lovely. Dont miss it!

@HuamingL270E03 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #A10

This campsite is really at good location. Surrounded by beautiful spots, adjacent to visitors center and shuttle bus station.

Think long and hard before reserving any site near the group campground adjacent to D Loop. We had 3 nights at D20 (a lovely site) and bailed after 2. The noise was ridiculous. When a D Loop camper asked a group to be quiet, someone yelled, "We're not at a hotel!" Saw numerous other campers left after only 1 or 2 nights of a longer reservation. Never saw a campground host. Ranger does a driverthrough each night in the early evening. That's it. The "Whoo Hoo!" crowd has the run of the place. Did walk around the loop during the "festivities" and it was much quieter on the other side. If I were to go back, I'd probably get a walk in site in the F loop.No showers, not even allowed a solar heated shower allowed. Local shower just outside the gate is ridiculously pricey. C'mon, NPS-- if Bryce can give you 8 minutes for $3.50, so can Zion.

Amazing experience. Clean, great location, friendly neighbors, quiet. The small creek behind the camping site was really cool to take a splash after a day of hiking. Walking distance to the visitor center, and showers in Zion Outfitters. Bathrooms and dish sink were clean. Just make sure to bring at spray, as we had a bunch of ant nests in our camping site. Squirrels and deer are common, so try to bring containers to keep your food away from them. Our specific site (042B) didn't have any trees to hang any hammocks on, so keep that in mind.

Zion is one of my favorite National Parks and the campsite facilities are first class. The sites are level, bathrooms clean and my particular loop had power for my Sprinter van.

@BrianY9056241 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #C14

Very clean and well kept grounds. Convenient to the Visitors Center and all shuttles into the valley and into Springdale.

@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #B36

Very long and spacious site. Decent amount of shade. Overall amazing site just like most sites in Watchman.

@KarlyK94585044 · Camped on Sep 1, 2024 at Campsite #C22

We had a great time; getting off the shuttle and having our campsite right there was so lovely. The restrooms and dish washing station were clean and well-kept.

@DanielB4603573 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #B26

Heat as always. The deer great you

@ArmandoR458765 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #D12

It is a beautiful place and I honestly think that the photos do not do justice to the beauty of the place, a wonderful place

@FarrahS3A8C87B · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #D32

Beautiful views! Excellent location. My kiddos were excited to see frogs, deer and even a tarantula in the campground. The campground was fairly quiet during the day. The campsite itself was a great size, however you are very close to your neighbors. It was a holiday weekend so keep that in mind but the bathrooms were gross, other campers used the feminine waste bins in the womens bathroom as a garbage can instead of using the dumpsters as noted on all of the signage so they were overflowing. Not all dumpsters were next to all of the bathrooms but they were close enough. Our first night was quiet the next two nights were filled with loud music, singing, and noise long after quiet hour began.

@ChoonC02F2BDA8 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #E2

Unable to shower in the camping ground.Restroom were closed near our site. We had to walk long distance to go restroom. No shade during at day and It was extremely hot to stay at daytime. Too much regulation.

@KentonB887C5D0 · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #B48

Camp site was right next to the river which was beautiful and peaceful. Loved having electric at the site even with a tent.

@RalfS1786B0823 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #A18

Overall good campground. Had to check out und check in at 12:00 before we could get on our spot for the next night.

@DonnaL8792277 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #B1

On the map better marking of where the bike lanes are

@AnaB6226928 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #D26

The spot is near all facilites, and would be excellent in spring or a bit later in the year. It does not have enough shade, as some of the neighboring sites do. The campground hosts are kind people that answered all of out questions and helped us sort out a space for a friend that showed up last minute. We loved our stay.

@JohnB8383631 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #D17

The campsite was clean and well maintained.

@YipingC7A37213 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #B22

Campsite is clean and quiet. cellphone service is surprisingly good. Great shuttle service. however, there isnt shower room at the campsite, which is disappointing. The only shower room is at Zion Outfitter outside of the campsite and they charge $4 for 5 minutes. Depends on which zone you are at you might need to drive out to the shower room.

@xavierR46FE464 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #F10

super nice place in the middle of the red mountain. Increadible peacefull and beautiful

@LueYF0789C9E43 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #C16

Sometimes the bathrooms close for cleaning for a bit too long. Some camp sites are next to each other with no brushes or trees dividing them. Which sucks.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
