Located near the park's south entrance, the campground is just a short walk from the main visitor center, the Zion Canyon Shuttle System and the adjacent town of Springdale. The canyon and most of the park's trails are only accessible by shuttle bus from approximately March through November each year. Season Dates: Watchman Campground is open year-round. Reservations are available 6 months in advance. Toilets, drinking water and picnic tables are provided at this facility.
Group sites E-Loop are also tent-only and can accommodate between seven and 40 people. There are no full-hookup campsites.
Electric sites are all 30 amp, with only a handful of sites that supply 50 amp; a dump station with potable water is available at the entrance to the campground. Visitor Comfort Stations closed for seasonal maintenance.
Identification: The primary occupant listed on the camping reservation must present a photo ID upon check-in at Zion National Park campgrounds.
The name of the primary occupant cannot be changed once a reservation is made. This rule is in place due to the competitive nature of the location and to prevent visitors from re-selling their site. Zion National Park has vehicle size limits on the road between the East Entrance of the park and the campgrounds.
