    The approximately 63,500 acre Beaver Dam Wash NCA is located in the southwestern corner of Washington County, Utah, along the state lines of Nevada and Arizona. The landscape provides an interesting ecological transition zone between the Mojave Desert and the Great Basin.

    Its creosote bush, white bursage, and other desert shrubs grow at lower elevations and provide habitat for desert bighorn sheep and the Mojave Desert tortoise, a threatened species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Joshua trees and dense stands of blackbrush cover the slopes of the Beaver Dam Mountains, which rise along the eastern boundary of the NCA. Surface water flows in the upper reaches of Beaver Dam Wash, but rarely travels all the way through the NCA. Riparian vegetation along the stream channel is important habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife. At this time, there are no developed recreation facilities in the NCA.

    Easy and Close to Zion

    It was pretty easy to find even in the dark which is when we rolled in. Pretty popular spot so you are kinda close to other people but is only 25 mins to Zion and plenty of spots. There is a little river that is so nice to go to sleep to and it is very quiet.

    Treated us well

    It is easy to find and there are lots of marked camping spots. 14 day limit. What the other review said is true big ridges in the road making it a bumpy ride but if you take it slow and it’s dry you should be good. Probably wouldn’t take big rigs but there were lots of smaller and medium campers. The views are so beautiful! Surrounded by mountains The stars are amazing and it is nice and quiet.

    Watchman Campground — Zion National Park

    Gorgeous Site

    Gorgeous 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

    Crowded but Convenient

    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

    Chief Sleep Easy RV Park

    Nice place for an overnight stop

    Although it was after 5pm they answered the phone! And said we could call up to 9:00 pm if we needed anything. Free WiFi ! Bathrooms are ok, looks like they did some recent remodeling that isn’t quite finished yet, unfortunately they lock up the bathroom/laundry room at 8:00pm. It would be so simple to install a coded door lock to make it accessible 24/7. It appears to have mostly long term residents. Some minor road noise due to the highway and truck stops. Some fast food restaurants within a 5 minute drive.

    The VIEWS!!!

    Absolutely 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!

    Great for RVs but hard for tents

    We spent 3 nights at this campsite and it is kept very clean, the amenities are well maintained. There is a beautiful view and very little light polution for star gazing. However if you plan on camping in a tent - the sites are very close to eachother with no visual privacy, the ground is very rocky and the tent pads provided are small (I could not fit my bell tent). The gorge act like a wind tunnel so it is extra windy. 

    I would highly recommend this spot for RVs and Travel Trailers but for tents it's not super comfortable.

    Loved this campground

    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.

    Nice place at the lake

    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.

    Sites are not extremely level, but you can't complain.

    Great Spot!

    We stayed here for a night by Zion and loved it. It was just off the road, but not too much traffic noise. The little river by the site is very pretty. We only had 2 neighbors, but the spots are decently spaced apart so nobody was too close

    Not for RVs

    This is a beautiful place, but the road to the campsites are not acceptable for RVs. Also, it seemed like the people were a bit sketchy. I didn't feel safe in this location.

    vitamin D supplements support bone health

    Vitamin D supplements play a crucial role in supporting bone health by aiding the body's absorption of calcium, which is essential for maintaining strong and healthy bones. Without adequate vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, and more prone to fractures. This is particularly important in regions with limited sunlight, such as the UK, where many people may not get enough natural vitamin D. Taking the best vitamin D supplements UK can help ensure that your body has the necessary levels to support bone density and overall skeletal health, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions.

    La Verkin Creek Trail Campsites — Zion National Park

    Campsite #10 'Bird'

    Hiked in via Hop Valley, easy in, tough out. But the Campsite is nestled in some ponderosas up off the bank of the stream, which you have to cross from the trail. Occasionally you get some hikers who get off trail and it kinds leads through the camp. We had some hikers walk theough as we set down our packs, but we had no disturbances for the rest of the duration of our say. There is a spring with drinking water east of the site up the trail. We also had a squirrel friend who wanted some snacks. DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS. The site is kinda small, maybe 2 tents max. But overall very nice.

    Nice view & convenient location

    The sunset from this site was gorgeous! Panoramic views. Convenient 25 minute drive to Zion National Park. Closest wild camping we found to the Springdale entrance of the park. The only downside is that it’s pretty close to the road- but the road isn’t too busy or loud and you can get far enough away.

    Great spot but expensive

    We 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.

    Man, what a let down

    So, our original plan was to stay here 3 nights, but we changed our plans and just booked one... And man am I glad. Talked with the owner before booking, he sounded very genuine and had lots of great info on the area... Really great guy. But... He's not there running it, and I feel like whoever he left in charge is doing him a disservice. You can for sure see the work and potential, but really poorly maintained. Primitive spots (what we picked) were completely uncleared and overgrown with thorny grass, I was picking them out of my shoes for days from just setting up the tent. Porta potty was... Horrifying. An absolute biohazard. We didn't even bother with the showers after seeing the state of that.

    Nothing is clearly marked, so it's questionable on if you're even supposed to be in certain areas...

    Just... Good idea, and a good start, but needs some proper care.

    Great spot, dispersed but near civilization.

    Great spot, central to Zion, an hour and a half from Bryce, and a hop skip from the AZ border. Need supplies? Hurricane and La Verkin are a few minutes away.
    Went in July, monsoon season. It rained with thunder, lightning and wind everyday around 2pm until 6/7pm. And it was hot. Make sure to be ready for the heat with shade and plenty of fluids + salt supplements to keep your electrolytes in balance.

    Good location in St.George

    Nice 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.
