Watchman Campground

Bug campground at Zion National Park. Not far away from visitor center and with amazing views on the mountains. Restrooms but no showers. Pets allowed. The space is big enough have an extra tent. Table with bancs and firepit.

The natural beauty of Zion is breathtaking and if you're camping Watchman is a great starting point. If you love the outdoors this is a place you should visit. No reason to drive anywhere as the shuttle buses take you deep inside the park Hiking trails range from easy for everyone to vigorous for the hearty. Bike riding, e-bikes for rent. Simply amazing.

My third time camping here..can’t wish for better, right in Zion National Park. Well maintained campsites and campgrounds.

For reference, we stayed in spot B44 during mid January. It's an excellent RV pull through site with 30amp electric service and the Virgin River going by just 20 feet away. I'm actually writing this while we're still here, we leave tomorrow, checkout time is 11am. It's a nice campground and there's a good chance you'll see some wildlife. We woke up this morning to 5 deer grazing on some grass right across the river and then later we hiked the Watchman Trail, which took us 2 hours roundtrip, and saw 7 Bighorn Sheep. The campground has clean restrooms and there are dumpsters for trash within a short walk of most sites. Our site is directly across from a restroom and dumpster. And no, there is no odor from either. They're far enough away and well maintained. The visitor center is a short walk from our site, I would guess around 1/4 mile or so. They have tons of souvenirs and an information desk. There are also several popular hikes that start within the campground, get a park map when you first enter Zion Park. It will show where the hikes are located and what difficulty level they are. I highly recommend staying here.

Booked a 2 night stay on their Government app. I parked my car and set up shop. The picnic table was great to eat on and dry my wet clothes. The parking was enough for two vehicles. The floor grill was big enough to light a log for cold nights. Water access from an outdoor faucet to put out the fire wood. There were plenty of restrooms around the loops. Enough neighbors to feel safe when camping. Setting up my tent was easy. The walk to the park trams was a breeze. There is a beach access across loop B. I charged my phone using the provided electrical outlet in my parking station. Definitely worth the fees the park charges to stay for a couple of days. Thank you Zion!
