Selling an RV campsite for Watchman site for TOMORROW! Inside the campground -- very rare! Text 847-989-3195 ASAP!
In the morning and evening, the mule deers hang out in the grass surrounding the campground. They don’t fear the people or the noisy RV groups. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. The campground is walking distance to the pedestrian entrance of Zion and Springdale. Zion Brewing is literally right there. The Visitor Center is a tad bit further where you can pick up the shuttle on the weekends to the hikes along the Zion Scenic Drive. Make sure to get your ticket ahead of time or jump on the app at exactly 5PM MT to get your $1 shuttle ticket. They DO turn away people trying to get on the shuttle without a ticket. Decent Sprint LTE cell signal here.
Watchman was gorgeous and quiet despite plenty of campers around us. A doe and her babies nibbled on grass right next to our sight as we relaxed by the fire. And of course you're in Zion which is gorgeous.
Came in with no reservations and was able to share a group site with other random people!
Very little shade
Beware of areas that can flood when you are tent camping.
Very well maintained. Although a bit crowded.
Wear srurdy hiking boots.
