Welcome to Zion National Park's Watchman Campground. This is one of the major developed campgrounds inside the park. The other, the South Campground, is currently closed and being renovated from past flood damage. Watchman Campground is a sizable campground, with sites suitable for tents or RV's Some of the sites, like on loop A, even have electric hook ups. Overall, we enjoyed our visit here, despite one night with some noisy neighbors. We found most of the sites are spread out well enough, but you'll want to watch our campground drive thru (link below) to analyze each and every site. This can be a competitive campground to get a reservation at in the busy seasons, so although your choices may be limited, the two criteria we would recommend you seek out are shade from trees (some sites have some, many sites do not), and to try and avoid the few sites that are feet apart. If you can't find a site with tree cover, bring your own shade. Trust us! Especially in the summer. Luckily, the Virgin River is within walking distance and provides ample opportunities to get in the water and cool off. We would camp at Watchman again, and look forward to our next visit to one of our nations finest National Parks!

Looking for a great weekend getaway in the Phoenix area? We checked out Lost Dutchman State Park & camped overnight. This place is a paradise for RV owners but how does it stack up for tent campers? Welcome to another campground review episode! Today we checked out the campground at Lost Dutchman State Park. We took a tour of the campground, explore some of the different campsites, visit the Visitor Center and see what some of the amenities are. Afterwards, we took a stroll along one of the many hiking trails that dot the area and viewed some of the local flora. Lost Dutchman State Park is located in the Sonora Desert just east of the city of Phoenix. Nestled against the base of the Superstition Mountains, the views are stunning and iconic. No matter what camp site you choose, you're likely to have an amazing view of the Superstitions. Popular activities here are cycling around a 4 mile mountain bike loop trail and hiking the many trails, such as the Native Plant Trail or the Siphon Draw Trail to the top of the Flatiron. Bird and wildlife viewing are also popular activities at Lost Dutchman State Park. Mule deer, coyotes, javelinas, bobcats, and jackrabbits are some of the species that can be seen. The campground at Lost Dutchman State Park has 138 campsites, each with a fire pit with adjustable grill and a picnic table. Half of the campsites have water with electric (50/30/20 amp) hookups for RVs and campers. There are no restrictions on RV size. Paved drives vary in size as do the graveled area for tent camping. It is advised to pay attention to the specified size details on the reservation site when booking a campsite. In addition to water and electrical hookups, there is a dump station in the front of the park for RVs. Also located in the area is a Visitor Center where guests can purchase snacks, beverages and other necessities such as wood or ice. The campground has several bathrooms with running water on the premises. Showers are available to registered campers free of charge. Tent campers should make sure to bring some sort of tent pad to protect their tent and for comfort as the designated tent area is loose rocks and gravel. Some sites will likely only fit a two person or smaller tent so pay attention to tent pad sizes when booking your reservation.

Nestled against alien-like hoodoos, camping in Goblin Valley State Park is about as remote as it gets. If you're curious about the campground, we check it out for you and give our review. Located near central Utah, Goblin Valley State Park is a place unlike any you've likely seen before. If the red mushroom-shaped hoodoos, known as goblins, creating an almost alien-like landscape don't make you feel like you're on another planet, the sheer remoteness of the park will. The nearest town to the park is Hanksville, Utah - almost a 30 minutes drive to the south. Finding closer lodging is just not possible which makes camping ideal. Not only are you just outside the park, but you also have amazing backdrops of some goblins and are located very close to other amazing outdoor opportunities like the slot canyons of Little Wild Horse Canyon and Bell Canyon.

All campsites have elevated tent pads, a fire ring with a grill, and a picnic table under a metal shelter to provide shade. RV sites do not have hookups, however, there is a dump station. The two yurts provide a unique experience for those looking to camp in more comfort. Both hold a maximum of 5 people, have electricity inside, and are equipped with heat and air conditioning. Tables with seating are included as is an outdoor grill. There are no hookups for RVs at these sites either.
