Been to this campground many times. It's beautiful and a quick getaway from Las Vegas. Only complaint about this site is the amount of foot traffic since it's right next to the bathroom.

Beautiful scenery, close to St George and Mesquite. Paper and dog poo was abundant. Sad. No water or dump avail. Has a lot of potential. Roads are nice and camps have tables and fire pits.

It made no sense to me that you must use the app to pay for a site but there is no cell service at the kiosk. So instead i had to drive to service and then pay an $8 fee for a $4 campsite on rec.gov.
The campground was clean and spaces were adequate. Nice views of the river and the surrounding mountains. There is highway noise but there is so much more on which to focus.

I don't have much to review really because I only spent the night. It was nice. It was close to the freeway and for me that was a good thing.

Got in late and left early for a single overnight stay. The place seemed full but mostly quiet.

The site we chose for our one night stay was level with access to restroom facilities and a garbage dumpster onsite for a very reasonable price . Views of the freeway but not a lot of traffic noise. Breathtaking views and a series of hiking trails from the campground. Will be returning to further explore the area.
