Canyon Overlook Trail Tours

Great glamping experience. Kids loved this place. Can’t wait to come back.

Watchman Villas was easily one of the best stays of our trip. We stayed at The Pinyon as a group of two families, and the setup was perfect for us. The villa had two spacious bedrooms with attached bathrooms, which made it extremely convenient and comfortable. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. The staff was also friendly. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials, including an oven, fridge, dishwasher, and utensils, which made it easy to manage meals. One of the biggest perks was the free laundry—such a bonus after long days of hiking. The location is excellent, with a shuttle stop, coffee shop and grocery store within walking distance. Views from the villa were spectacular. We were able to leave our car at the villa and reach the Zion Visitor Center via shuttle in under 10 minutes. Overall, the stay was very comfortable and convenient. We would definitely choose to stay here again, especially when traveling with family or a group.

2 night stay, Basecamp Suite, midweek (April). Note that you must leave your car at the entrance, wagon your luggage to your site. Weather was blustery/cool, so we didn't spend much time outside or at pool. Hurricane force winds one evening and the canvas tent didn't blow away, so that was good but we didn't sleep a wink. Note that this location is about 20 mins outside of Springdale. Most dining options were a bit of a trek. We expected to purchase some hotdogs from the camp shop for easy dinner the first night, but they only offered $50 dinner bags/pizza kits (for two people). We made due, but maybe plan better if wishing to cook at your site. The smores kits were $15 for 4 marshmallows. There were exactly 4 of each dish/utensil in the Airstream and a REALLY tiny sink, so cooking was a major challenge. And the Airstream itself was very small for a tall family so I'm glad we had the BaseCamp option with a large tent. The tent was SPACIOUS and offered a king size bed, nightstands with lamps, sofa/futon, mirror/shelving, fridge, heated blankets which work wonderfully. We were on the go most of the time, so what felt lackluster wasn't a big deal after the first night. We figured things out and made the most of Zion! Vist Meme's Cafe and Wild Thyme restaurant for great meals. And the E-Bikes (with a tour guide) was the highlight of our trip. Autocamp was more about the experience, so we didn't mind a little roughing it! Overall, would def do it again.
