Zion in May '18

We have stayed twice at Zion River RV resort and LOVE IT! it is a beautiful resort right outside the Entrance to Zion

I stayed at a KOA between Bryce and Zion and used the toad to visit them. no hassle at tunnels etc.
bumpy

Yes, you should make reservations for Watchman.
May and early June shouldn't be too crowded. After schools are out, it becomes almost a nightmare.

Another vote for the Watchman CG but you will need reservations for sure and the earlier you make them {up to 6 months I think} the better. We have been several times, last was 2 years ago and the $18 sites {{$9 with a Geezer card} all had 30 amp service, as noted there is a decent two-lane dump station. When you stay at Watchman it is a short walk to the visitors center/tram station which is the best and often the only way to see the park.

The weather can change quickly but May should be gorgeous. Enjoy!

Walking distance to the Park's trolley.

We're thinking of visiting Zion and Bryce at about the same time, on our way home from the Tucson area. If staying at Watchman or, for that matter, any other campground in the area, are reservations needed for that time of year?

I don't like surprises, I all ways make reservations when visiting National Parks.

We normally stay at Watchman inside the park. They have some sites with partial hookups.
Great time to go. Hike some of the trails for views of wild flowers and new babies.
Remember that the east entrance has length and height restrictions. You may have to come around and enter by west entrance.
