we arrived at the south campground on a Thursday afternoon, We got the last spot ! (Campground fills up quick). we set up camp and walked to the virgin river which runs straight through the campground.... How awesome. the next days we walked to the shuttle station (about 8 min walk from campground) and spent the day hiking the narrows.

South Campground is inside the park, and just a 5 minute walk or so from the main Zion shuttle stop. The sites themselves are quite tightly packed. The facilities are fine. There is some shade, but probably not enough if you visit during the summer. The Virgin River runs right by the campground and is easily accessible.

Great location for access into Zion. Campground roads are slightly narrow for larger RV’s and trailers but manageable. Nice shaded campground from trees throughout.

We stayed at Watchman last year and were very pleased too. This campground having no electric keeps it a darker and quieter campground. So far, we have not had many people running generators, pretty restrictive hours for them. Roads are narrow and beat to hell, it was a little tough to get back to our site but definitely worth it.

We stayed at Watchman last year and were very pleased too. This campground having no electric keeps it a darker and quieter campground. So far, we have not had many people running generators, pretty restrictive hours for them. Roads are narrow and beat to hell, it was a little tough to get back to our site but definitely worth it. We did arrive at 7:00am and waited in line to get assigned a site. I was a little nervous about getting a decent site by the campground host made sure we were on an adequate site for our trailer. A great location as is Watchman.

Zion National Park is getting busier each year it seems, with reservations in the fall (the time we like to visit) getting more difficult to come across without a lot of planning. After our ten day reservation expired at the much nicer Watchman Campground and we were not able to get another site over there, we moved over to the South Campground for a few days. With all first come, first serve sites, we were in the campground before 7am on a Friday in November and got one of the few sites large enough to fit our trailer. This is a busy place during busy times for the park!
The campground's benefit is its proximity to the park, which is the most important thing for us. The campground is showing its age in terms of the sites, roads, and facilities but it is clean with a sort of rock climber laid-back vibe. The sites are generally small but not too packed in (with only large trees growing in the campground, there is little privacy). There is a dump station with fresh water nearby and basic bathrooms in the campground. If you are looking for a place to camp close to the park and cannot get into the Watchman Campground, the South Campground is a good option but do not expect much more than a place to park for the night.
