I have rated this park lower than I might have primarily because of the problems we had with their reservation system. We first called in early May asking for 5 nights immediately after after Memorial Day. We were told that Watchman was "fully booked", every site, for EVERY day between Memorial Day Weekend and Labor Day. We accepted this at first, but then thought about what we were being told....and called again. This time, the reservation service admitted that there were "some" days during the summer when the park had vacancies, but that the two weeks after Memorial Day were "fully booked." So we made reservations at a private park in nearby Glendale and drove over to Watchman on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend and drove through the park. Little departure date slips were posted at each site.....and sure enough nearly everyone was leaving on Memorial Day or the day after. So we went on-line, confirming that many sites were indeed available during the week we wanted. So we called reservations again...BATTLED!!! our way through to a supervisor, who confirmed that there were sites available during our week and reserved one for us. Although asked, she could not explain why her staff basically lied to us on the two previous phone calls. In fact, the electric sites at the park were not full during our entire stay there. And this is how our tax dollars are being spent? And I say this as someone who made a major $$$$$ donation to the National Park System last February. The park is beautiful. And we had a great stay. Good luck with the reservation system...and don't placidly accept their "No-room-in-the-inn" scenario. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Golden Age rate. It just doesn't get any better than this. Even without the electric I would still give it a 10. Incredible views in every direction. We spent 5 nights and loved it. This park in the opposite of the Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon. Here you are down by the river and look up at everything, versus being on top and looking down or into the canyon. We took a day trip to Bryce Canyon, appx. two hours. It was a good 30 degrees colder at Bryce than at Zion that day. You go from 3950 elevation up to over 9000 so it is a big difference. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground in Zion National Park is really nice for a park service campground. The sites were big, we didn't feel cramped at all. We paid $24 per night with electric, and could walk to the visitor center and shuttle. There are 2 dump stations so there was minimal waiting. We will definitely stay here next time we visit Zion. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The roads in the park are good, and the interior roads in the campground were wide enough for big rigs. We had a 50 amp site, but most sites are 30 amp. The scenery is, of course, magnificent, with plenty of hiking trails for all levels of hikers. The campsites themselves were level and large enough for any rig, but you can see dozens of other sites from wherever you park. The weather in early April was wonderful, but it gets extremely hot in the summer. The central water and dump stations were roomy and well maintained. No showers in the park; you have to go to town for showers and laundry. Shuttle buses run all day throughout the park. What a great place for $18/night. Next year I'll be 62 and can stay there for $9/night on the federal "Senior Pass", formerly the "Golden Age" pass. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great location, right on the Virgin River with majestic views all around. Shaded. Bathrooms only have toilets and sinks. Great place to have a campfire. Some low-hanging trees. Little TV and radio service available. Walk to Zion shuttle, deli and convenience store. Loved it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Spent the first night in A7 on the river. This was right across from the gravel/cement plant and was noisy till 7pm when they finally quit work. It was quite dusty as there has been little rain/snow. The weather is great for late march. We would recommend staying away from the low numbers in the "A" loop due to the noise. We moved the next morning. The site was level and deep, but very difficult to back into due to several large rocks. As it was the week following Easter the park was crowded and there were few if any ranger led "activities" such as talks, hikes, or children's special events. The park is magnificent and despite the limitations listed above, a great place to visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Camping here in winter is the best bet! We had the CG almost to ourselves for the 6 nights we were here. The "B" loop is the only one open in winter. We were towards the end (B-50) in a pull through (banana shape) right on the river. The ONLY drawback was the gravel yard across the river on private property. The sound of cement trucks loading and churring sort of spoiled the tranquility (but it wasn't all the time). The Park was completely uncrowded and it was fun getting to go through the tunnel all by ourselves (due to our dually's width). There are water spigots throughout the park and some sites are close enough you could fill your tanks without moving (spot B-44 was one of these). The sites are fairly level and the park is very well maintained. The CG host was very nice and helpful. We are 56' long when towing our 42' trailer and were able to get around okay in the CG. We highly recommend this park, especially during the off season! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The scenery between the mountains are very beautiful and we enjoyed our stay in this campground. The sites big and we had enough space. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Although most reviewers have mentioned the shuttles, it should be emphasized that this park is perfect for RVers without a "tow", as the shuttles take you not only throughout the park but into the small town nearby. Even without showers, the price can't be beat! Plan a two-night stay to fully enjoy the park's walks and scenery. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground but with very limited amenities. Bathrooms have no lights and of course no showers or even soap. Loop A is very close to the shuttles and to the grocery store & visitors center. Site was very large and close to level with a barbecue pit and table. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground, but our site was a pretty long walk to the shuttle area. We were thankful for the electric hookups for our air conditioner - temps were over 95. We would stay here again to explore the park more. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Staying at Watchman was the highlight of our two week trip! The kids loved playing in the nearby Virgin River and the view of the Watchman was spectacular! The campground is walking distance from the best grocery store in town. It is also walking distance from the visitor's center and central shuttle pick up/drop off area. We stayed in site A8 and the site was spacious and level, but offered little shade. Can't wait to go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

In our opinion this is the best place to stay to explore the park. The sites have electric only but there is a dump station and fresh water close by. It is a short walk to the visitor center and the shuttle buses. The park is great from hiking for all fitness levels. The site we had was a horse shoe shaped pull through. Plenty of space between the sites. A great park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had site B60 with no water but 30 amp electric. The site was a a little sloped from side to side but fine for our 30 ft class A with some shade, no one behind us and decent spacing from our neighbors. We loved the site and the park, our nightly rate reflects the the Interagency Senior Pass discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great National Park campground where you can experience nature at its finest. The park is quiet with lots of space between sites. Even though it was the off season, the campground completely filled by Thursday afternoon, so plan accordingly. Zion is scenic and beautiful and should not be missed. We will be back often. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Site #B14 30 amp electric only but we were thrilled to have electric in a national park campground. Loved the location so close to the visitor center and shuttle stops as well as some restaurants and stores just outside the park. We have a 30 ft class A. Everything was great, wish we could have stayed longer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Typical for a national park campground. Very busy park even at the end of the season (October). Park could use some maintenance with the roads and sites as many had large mudholes since it had just rained and mgmt could care less. Has nice dump station with fresh water also to fill tanks. Rate was for Golden age pass otherwise $18 night. Shuttle buses run until end of October then you can drive your car anywhere into park. Zion is a great place to visit, spent 3 days there hiking and touring the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Stunning scenery. Professional, courtious staff. Wide, private sites. This is a great campground. There are no showers, and as new campers, this was a challenge for us, but we survived. The river sites are nice, but don't sweat it if you're not on the river. We were next to the restrooms and the dumpster and it was still a great camping experience. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A beautiful setting! Large, level campsites with table and fire ring. Lots of trees (cottonwoods). shuttle bus stop at visitor center within easy walking distance. Only drawback -- no water hookups. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This gampground is still one of the best in the NPS system. Great scenery, generally level and well separated sites, and walking access to the shuttle. One change occuring is that many of the mature cottonwood trees in the CG loops are being removed. In some areas shade will be at a premium for years to come. We camped here in a Motorhome.

OK, this is now on my all time favorite list. Beautiful large sites in wonderful zion. Only potential negative is lack of both hookups and showers. Was well worth the effort of using the tote tank for grey water. Stayed here for a week. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Typical National Park camp. Great views in a fun setting. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a wonderful campground - the only reason it did not get a "9" or "10" is because there are no showers in the park. The sites are well spaced; the sites along the river are shaded and roomy - there are some sites in full sun, so ask for a site by the river. The views are spectacular, and it's only a short walk to the Visitor Center and the shuttle. The electric hookups also help by eliminating generator noise, so all you hear is the wind and the river. Loved it! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
