4 Comments on “Watchman”

  1. Words can not describe the beauty of Watchman Campground. If you are looking for somewhere different and unique then this is it.

  2. There aren’t any bad spots here. You’re just surrounded by beauty.

  3. Watchman is SUPER beautiful. Amazing campground. Made a bad selection for sites. C17: nearly no shade at all, next to the bathroom where the jet engine hand dryer runs ALL night long, next to the Group Loop E where they party until the wee hours, and people wander through your site all day and night thinking it’s a bathroom path. C21, C22 seem nice. They’re kind of in the middle. C20 seems pretty chill too but it’s accommodation-friendly.

  4. it was so cool and awsome
