Just checked and all of the Watchman river side campsites in Zion are booked for all of August except for Aug. 31st. There aren't any sites open for the first two weeks, but there are some open starting August 17th for tents. Check each description and picture to see if you will have shade or not. All the hike in spots in F loop are in the sun! I would not give up hope of getting a spot at Watchman....you just have to be vigilant and keep checking! http://www.recreation.gov/camping/wa...O&parkId=70923
