For visitors to Zion National Park, Watchman Campground is an ideal place to stay. Located near the park's south entrance, the campground is just a short walk from the main visitor center, the Zion Canyon Shuttle System and the adjacent town of Springdale. The canyon and most of the park's trails are only accessible by shuttle bus from approximately March through November each year. Season Dates: Watchman Campground is open year-round. Reservations are available 6 months in advance.
Hikers can access three trails directly from the facility: the Watchman Trail, a moderate trail that ascends the peak behind the campground; the Archeology Trail, which offers a light hike to an archeological site nearby; and the Pa'rus Trail, a paved walking and biking trail that runs alongside the river, and the only trail in the park that allows dogs. Although there are no rock climbing routes in the campground, many popular climbs are within a short shuttle bus ride into the main canyon. Use of OHVs and ATVs is prohibited in Zion National Park.
Zion is known for it's dynamic geologic history and Watchman Campground is no exception. Named for the rocky peak that rises above it, the campground is surrounded by tall sandstone cliffs that glow red and orange during sunrise and sunset. The Virgin River, a narrow but powerful river that has carved out the canyon over time, runs adjacent to the campground. Cottonwood trees surrounding the campsite turn golden in the fall. Most of the campsites are in partial to full sun, however in the Group sites (E-Loop) and the Walk-To sites (F-Loop) visitors may receive some shade under pergulas that are constructed over the picnic tables. Visitors can also cool off in the cold river when temperatures peak during summer. Be Advised: The months of April and May bring an unusual infestation of Tent Caterpillars, which fall from trees onto tents, tables, and unsuspecting campers and can make it quite uncomfortable to sit outside. The months of July and August in particular bring a higher concentration of ants in the campsites, which seem to come out especially after the monsoons, but are present all summer long. Insecticidal treatment by visitors is not permitted.
The town of Springdale has shopping, art galleries, restaurants, and a public library. Throughout the year, concerts, festivals, and parades are held in the town.

This place is so nice! Spacious shower stalls with toilet, sink, bench and shower. Laundry facilities. Year round heated pool and hot tub. Store on site with decent prices. All spots have a tree with grass, picnic table and concrete pads. Also has small playground and dog park. Access to Virgin River with a primitive trail.

Great site, on dirt. Lots of trees around and gorgeous views. A few minutes walk from the shuttles, the visitor center and the town of Springdale
Scout
We were able to reserve a spot online. We arrived after the office was closed-The office left our paperwork on the cork board out in front of the office. Bathrooms are really clean, almost look like they were recently remodeled. Grounds were clean. Sites are pretty close together. Dog wash and park on site were nice for after hiking for the pup! We will stay again-
Scout
Ich habe hier 2 Nächte verbracht. Ich bin alleine unterwegs und ich habe mich noch nie so sicher an einem Ort gefühlt wie hier. Und man hat hier super Internet! (iPhone 13 t-Mobile
Scout
Great place to stay, we were able to get laundry done they had great clean facilities as well as a dog washing station to get the dogs all cleaned up to, we will be back!
ScoutAll this place is is a trailer park. It has no charm. Maybe if you have no understanding of what a campground is. The tent sites are just gravel with surrounded by brick walls. No trees no View. You have to be a simpleton to appreciate this.
GuideNice park glad to see real grass and shade. Nice facility
Scout
Some shade, shower, laundry. Road noice but not the worst. Grocery store close. Small sites and close. 16 foot travel trailer. Some bigger campers. I would stay again. WiFi good, Verizon 5G 3 bars.
GuideGorgeous Campground and 100% worth it to stay in Zion NP. The park gets crazy busy by 8AM ish on the weekend so it made a huge difference staying in the park as it allowed us to be on the first shuttle bus out to the trails every morning. There are tons of mule deer around that definitely get fed so be careful having food out, even while you are cooking they are not shy at all!! Not much privacy but otherwise 10/10
Scout
The weather here is extremely hot over 100! The paces is located off the highway so you can hear the traffic. Also the bathrooms were hot no ac. The ladies in the office were extremely kind and very accommodating. They went above and beyond to help me find a shade spot. Most spots have only one small tree or none unless outside or some inside but far from the bathrooms. The pool says closes at 10pm but we were told at dusk. The closest restaurants or stores are about 30 mins away. It does include free miniature golf horseshoes and a pickleball but way to hot to do them. Also only the end sites have a fire pit and no grills that I saw except tent sites.
Guide
Super crowded campground, but makes Zion activities super easy. For the price I’d like to see much nicer bathrooms and showers. Also you will meet your neighbor as they pack it in. Still had a great time, but paying mostly for location not nice amenities
LegendAbsolutely phenomenal views of you back up to the river. All the sites are surrounded by amazing scenery, the riverfront sites are just extra! We had full hook ups on the river and would return over and over again! Very nice staff, easy check in, clean campground with amenities (we didn’t use them tho) and very quiet. You’d better have an awning and some AC tho…this sun is brutal. The only CON I can tell you is some of the sites are back in and some pull in and some pull through so you can get a “buddy site” without knowing it and that cuts waaaaaay down on privacy. Thankfully our neighbors were very pleasant and almost everyone is gone during the day anyway. Overall would 100% recommend staying here and we will be back!
Traveler
We stayed for 3 nights in the Cave Dwelling unit. The site was very clean, they check on the hot tubs daily to make sure the water levels are correct and in good order. Staff was very quick to help with any issues. This was a very comfortable stay and close to the south entrance of Zion National Park. The only downfall was the view - there was construction going on across from the property but we would definitely stay here again.
Scout
Had a fantastic time here with friends for Labor Day weekend. Clean bathrooms, easy hook ups and the host was great. They sell firewood and ice which was a major plus. Also, easy access to town and outstanding hiking within 20 miles all around. Some of the sites are very close together and can be difficult to access with larger trailers. Overall we will definitely be back soon.
GuideWe spent one night in this campground
The place was amazing, it’s crazy to be in the middle of Zion. The view was stunning. Only 5min (in car) to the shuttles
But we were super close to the other RV, the campground was quite crowded. No intimity at all
Shower limited to 6/7min is enough It was clean
100$ for a Campervan 18ft for the night, the most expensive campground we did in a two weeks roadtrip through the national parks.
Ranger
Full hook ups, friendly staff, beautiful grounds and views. Close to amenities
GuideWe stayed at Crazy Horse for one night while visiting Zion. It’s located in the gorgeous little town of Kanab. We purchased a campsite just to park our van after a long day of hiking. The staff was so friendly in the front office, they made you feel like family! And their dogs are so cute. We were able to take unlimited hot showers included in our nightly stay, the bathrooms were so clean and felt like a rustic spa. The laundry was coin operated, attached to the office. We walked to Escobar’s Mexican restaurant right next door for dinner and omg it was amazing. Best salsa we’ve ever had. We heated up leftovers the next morning in the office microwave. The best part of it all was the incredible scenery surrounding this rv park, red rock mountains everywhere and hiking trails. Kanab is a special town with friendly people, great shopping and food. Visit the shop Gifts of the West, owner was super sweet and we bought some beautiful native items. This place is a gem!
Scout
Grand Plateau is a beautiful campground that is well taken care of. The facilities are immaculate and the staff is super friendly and helpful. I 100% will stay here again in the future and will recommend them to everyone I know!
GuideSmall campground, close to Zion NP. Flat spots, quite small though. Full hookups, pull through. No firepit or BBQ on spots, but two BBQ's on the side of the sites. Washing machines and dryers available, $3,-, between 4 p.m. an 10 p.m. Hot and very clean showers!! The best so far.
The only thing inconvenient is that you have to go through the Mt Carmel tunnel to reach Zion NP. And this tunnel is opened for oversized vehicles between 8.00a.m. and 4.30 p.m. So keep that in mind!
LegendNice sized sites. We had a pull through. After check in we were escorted to our site and given information about the park. The strange was it wasn't clear on where to park the tow vehicle, although you will have plenty of room once you figure it out. It just looks like you are parking in another site. It is an hour to Zion NP if you are there for that. Other parks are closer to the park, but we were coming from SoCal, so enough towing for one day. All the hook ups worked fine and were laid out fine.
Scout
My daughters and I had a great time! There was a fire ban however, propane grills were allowed. If you didn’t have one, they had a community one you could use. Showered were a bit dirty. Girls hair everywhere! Pool was fun, mini golf and loads of other family activities. We had one funny incident the first night we got here. We couldn’t figure out where campsite was because it started out we pitched our tent at the wrong site. Eventually, we got to the site where our tent was and realized what our mistake. Family memories as we couldn’t stop laughing.
TravelerSerious shortage of bathrooms. Long waits and many not clean. Otherwise nice place.
LegendBeautiful stranding
ScoutMy family and I love this KOA. So close to the lake, town for supplies, and hiking. The kids love that they can go swimming or hit the playground whenever. It’s very family friendly! The grounds are very clean and the pool is well maintained. Cannot wait to go back!
TravelerI want to first say that the personnel were very kind and when I called with a few questions they were friendly and helpful. My two stars is really the disappointment with the site not being what I expected. I chose the tent site at the very end of the curve thinking we would have a nice view and more privacy but we were maybe 6 feet from the adjacent tent. We literally set up our tent, fell asleep then got up early and left the next day as we had a long trek ahead. We reserved this same site for our return from a 3 week trip but I plan to change that. I did walk our puppy around the campground and came to the opinion that if we had an RV and stayed inside most the time it would probably be a better experience.
ScoutBEWARE- BE SURE TO CONFIRM YOUR SITE IS STILL WHAT YOU RESERVED. THEY MADE CHANGES WITH NO NOTICE. I made return reservations in Dec 2023 for Memorial Day weekend for a long pull through. Sometime between making the reservation and May 2024, the owners decided to turn the ONE pull through campsite into TWO back in sites with no notice. I cancelled for that reason(what I reserved was no longer what I reserved) two weeks before the reservation date. The cancellation policy does state there is an 8.00 cancellation charge, but I felt/feel that because THEY made changes to what I reserved, my reservation was no longer valid due to THEIR change not mine. I requested to cancel and asked them to waive the 8.00 cancellation fee since what I reserved was no longer available. It was THEIR change, NOT MINE. THEY REFUSE to waive their fee even though they are to blame. It's not the 8.00, it's the principle. Fortunately I was able to find someplace else for a holiday weekend with two weeks notice. They obviously choose money over customer service. BEWARE.
TravelerVery pleasant place with friendly staff. All amenities in good condition. Shower by tokens limited to one a night, however costs additional 6$ if you fancy a shower on a check out day… Spots are quite tight, the view is amazing and town shuttle stop is just round the corner. 15 mins on foot to the entrance of the park.
