If I had it to do over again, I would go in May when there are fewer people. There were so many people that the trails were so crowded that it felt like we were at Disneyland more than a National Park. Tip for Other Campers: 1 Coming and going from Zion in a motorhome is much easier if you come and go from the south entrance.
Coming in from the north entrance requires getting a permit at the entrance gate and special arrangements to safely traverse the tunnel into the park from that direction. Park is very nice and easy access to the shuttles, and the pedestrian bridge to town. Soaking in the river in between hikes is nice. A great place to stay in a magnificent setting.

Visited Zion Zion last Fall and decided to come back in Winter. Stayed at Watchman both times. Wonderful campground right inside the park. Electric only but you're inside the Park which is key. B loop was closed for construction so we were in the A loop this time. A little tighter than the B loop for big rigs but it was fine. We'll definitely be back as Zion is one of our favorite places. Even though there was no water or sewer hookups, being inside the National Park with 50A electric made up for that and then some.
Location was the key attribute when we made these reservations. We had an excellent site in B Our site was plenty long for our 43' coach and Jeep. The campground is clean and the volunteers keep a good watch on things throughout the day. The dump station was convenient as we stayed for 2 weeks. Beautiful and convenient campground. We stayed at Watchman in a motor home, made reservations four months prior and loved our site. Some sites are more level than others but we had no problem.
The views are spectacular and it's within walking distance to the visitors center and shuttle buses. We got both verizon and t mobile phone and internet. It was very quiet in the evening , we were toward the back area of loop b. We will stay here the next time we come to zion. B20 had a wonderful view of the mountains. This is one of the nicer National Park campgrounds we have stayed in. Loop A has paved sites with nice red pea gravel sitting areas. The restrooms look modern and were kept very clean.
There are a wide variety of sites, some large enough for 40' coaches. Sites are fairly close to each other. The biggest plus factor is location. You are close to the Visitor Center and shuttles. Staying in the park allows you to avoid the long lines to enter each morning.
