Site B034 | 12/15 to 12/24/2024 | Zion National Park, Utah
Our stay at Watchman Campground was a wonderful stay. The campground was well kept up with a great view of the canyon and Virgin River. There is endless hiking, natural history, geology, wildlife and a long history of humans visiting and living in the area. The older boys enjoyed a day hike to the Emerald Pools. There were more ADA/Accessibility options within the park than most for little brother.
