Watchman Campground, Campground in Zion National Park, United States
Watchman Campground contains 176 sites divided into specific loops, including tent-only areas, RV spaces with electrical hookups, and designated group camping sections.
The campground established its presence near the Virgin River as part of Zion National Park's development to accommodate increasing visitors during the early National Park Service era.
The facility supports environmental education through ranger programs and serves as a base for visitors exploring Native American archaeological sites within Zion National Park.
Reservations for camping spots open six months in advance, with fees ranging from 35 dollars for tent sites to 130 dollars for large group areas.
The facility provides direct access to three trails: Watchman Trail, Archaeology Trail, and Pa'rus Trail, connecting campers to Zion's extensive hiking network.
