$40 - $200 / night
"2.5 mike hike in, 300 ft elevation gain, easy trail to beautiful overlook of southern Utah. Camp is a sandy open area next to the overlook and cliffs of Snow Canyon State Park. Free to camp."
"Snow Canyon is a still relatively unknown place near St George, Utah. There is SO much to do around there and there are great hikes that leave from this campground which makes it even better."
$35 - $130 / night
"Sites were typical National Park, small and close together but well positioned. We had close access to a modern restroom that was clean and well maintained. "
"Watchman is conveniently located within walking distance of the Zion National Park south entrance. The camp sites are shaded with trees and red gravel/sand ground structure."
"We had a fun trip to Utah this past weekend for an off-road event. We found the KOA and set up camp for a few days. Internet connection wasn’t great and the weather was moody since it was March."
"This KOA is located about ten minutes outside of St George and right off the I-15 freeway. It was all the amenities that your typical KOA has; dog park, hookups, cabins, and store."
$5 - $15 / night
"Stopped here late on my way through Utah. Short drive off the highway and easy to find. Very clean sites, I was only there in the dark but area was quiet and easy to setup camp."
"I use this spot when I want to go to zion which is only a 30 min drive from red cliffs. Zions camp spots are alway reserved in advance."
$28 - $40 / night
"Beautiful location! All camp sites overlook the lake. There are flush toilets and outdoor coin showers. If the camp ground fills, they allow primitive camping in the parking lot for a minimal fee."
"The big pro is that you are really close to a lake where you can go for a swim, quite a rare feature for a campground in Utah. Beautiful surroundings, new showers and restrooms."
"At the site we were on there was a creek behind us which we loved and so did our dogs! Friendly neighbors! Beautiful place. Located close to Zion park. A lot of off road adventures near by"
"The park is 10minutes away from Zion National Park and about 2hrs from Bryce Canyon. The park is adjacent to the Virgin River. Walking path to the river is great for kids."
$17 - $150 / night
"This tent only portion of Pine Valley was great. A small stream close by. Fully shaded and cool compared to St George."
"Sites are relatively close to one another and very well kept. Some cell service. Bathrooms clean. Definitely worth the drive into pine valley!"
$30 - $200 / night
"It’s fun of all sorts, kayaking, lake beach, boating, cliff jumping, bbq, off-roading everywhere!!! And the beauty that surrounds is unreal!!"
"It’s always a family favorite when we go to Southern Utah"
"Sandy and right off road. Road noise minimal if any after dark."
"Great access to Zion. There were a bunch of open sites when we got there (4pm) some were along the stream too. We have a Honda Fit and we’re able to camp just fine. Saw a few smaller pull behinds."
$21 - $42 / night
"Horse stables away from tents and didn’t smell at all. Restrooms really clean. Can’t wait to go again"
"Has a gorgeous, peaceful stream running a very short walk from the sites. I spent most of my time walking through shaded woods along the stream and collecting water for boiling along with firewood."
TravelerMy husband and I have been staying here for 10 days and we were planning on staying another 2 days, before moving on to cooler temperatures. Well, this afternoon, we got the dreaded knock from a police officer and a Ranger, who told us that this is state trust land, not BLM land, and a permit is required to stay here. We haven't seen any signs saying anything about that, but after reading the reviews here, it looks like one person mentioned it.
It's a busy, very dirty location, with tons of trash (literally there are dirty mattresses, old couches, bags of trash strewn everywhere - it's awful. I've never been to Slab City, but it's one step up from how I imagine it is) and big shards of broken glass in most of the camping spots, so I wouldn't recommend parking in any of the single spots. We chose to stay in the big communal area close to the entrance, even though we hate being close to people, because it was the only place that didn't have broken glass, and we've just been waiting out the cooler temps at our higher elevation spots.
On the plus side, the road is well kept gravel and almost all of the spots are huge and level. We have a 36' Class A and we fit into all of the spots, with room enough for a shorter Class A, a Class C or several toads to fit alongside us. It's really too bad that people are so irresponsible and selfish, because if there were no trash or glass, I'd give this place 5 stars, for how giant the spaces are, how many spaces are available, how flat the spaces are and how well maintained the road is. Also, people keep to themselves and it's relatively quiet most days and nights, so it feels pretty safe. But again, BE SURE TO GET A PERMIT BEFORE COMING HERE, or you'll definitely get THE KNOCK.
If we hadn't gotten THE KNOCK, I would have given it 2 1/2 stars, with points taken off for the spots being full of broken glass and trash, but I only gave it 1 star because I'm feeling salty about the fact that it requires a permit. Lol.
ScoutVery nice place with full hookups. They have a pool/jacuzzi that is opening soon. We stayed here as base camp and spent our days 20 minutes up the mountain skiing at Brian Head. Great stay
GuideHighly recommended. Loads of space. Reasonable Porta potties. Gorgeous sunsets over Zion. And higher than Under Canvas just down the road.
ScoutGood spot, has an about 6 spaces to camp from.
GuideIt is so beautiful here. The trails are amazing. side by side paradise. Been 3 times in 9 months and cant wait to go back!!!
ScoutThis place is off a road but doesn't have a lot of cars. The stars are amazing at night, and the daytime view is gorgeous.
GuideCamped with our family in late October early November. Experienced sunny days, cold nights and even a little snow. Regardless of the weather, Watchman is the best place to park your camper and experience the best of Zion NP. Easy short walk to the visitor center and shuttles. (On a side note the shuttles were a much better experience than we were expecting).
Camped in C loop. Sites were typical National Park, small and close together but well positioned. We had close access to a modern restroom that was clean and well maintained. Parking for an extra vehicle was close by and convenient.
Firewood and ice were available in Springdale via a 5 minute drive (you have to exit and reenter the park If you drive). Or it's a 10 minute walk via a bridge directly from the park to the store. Make sure you have your Parks pass or receipt to show the Rangers when you walk back across the bridge to the campground. We recommend walking.
We did not visit any of the restaurants, shops or the brewery that were located a short walk away but will on the next trip. The hiking in Zion is top notch with trails for all abilities. Make sure you check the status as several of the trails were closed due to bridge repairs.
We experienced a first: It was Halloween and our grandkids were able to dress up and go trick or treating in the campground. Somebody even set up an inflatable castle and everyone was in a festive mood. Our kids took their own treats and handed them out. The Camping community is the best.
Watchman is difficult to get a reservation for but worth it. We can't wait to return. Maybe we will try another holiday?
GuideConveniently off 89 not far from Zion. Little town with gas stations, coffee etc close by. Strongly recommend 4wd for the spots up the hill. I did it easily in a 4Runner TRD Sport. No trash. Good views depending on site. Road noise is the downside. But I was also on the 89 side with a view. Nobody else around me at all for the night up the hill. Plenty of open spots on Thursday before Memorial Day.
GuideI had a superrrr short stay here, driving from CA, we ended up arriving around 12 am, and there were only one or two other people there! SO close to zion!!
