We stayed at this campground during our visit to Zion in early January. I can’t say enough good things about this campground - we usually stay in BLM camps because of the price and primitive style of camping, so staying here felt like a wonderful luxury, especially for the price of $25 a night.

As one would expect from a NP campground, campsites are adorned with a nice picnic table and fire pit and the distance between each campsite is decent. We saw lots of wildlife, as the deer like to hang out in the area and hopefully grab a snack from passerby’s.

The actual Watchman Trail is a fun, easy hike that is super popular, especially for families and children. When we visited, it was difficult to get into the actual Zion Canyon so we did this hike on an off-day due to is proximity to camp. This hike and Observation Point are really the only hikes that are worth it, in my opinion, outside of the Zion Canyon.
