A nice stop over. The spots are not very level and a bit unusual in design for the most part as they are more pull over to the side of the road and less back in off of the road. But it works in this design. There is no power or water or dump station. But it's better to be on pavement than just the open desert as there is less dust blowing in the wind. The scenery and hiking opportunities are excellent. I have no ide why some people are so obsessed with fires. The fire pits are very good. Bring your own wood if you must add to the World's Pollution. Cell reception on the other side of the Interstate is pretty decent but for some reason in this campground it is very bad. You can not count on being able to use your phone for Data Browsing. But you should if you walk around a bit at least be able to make a phone call. The Rangers are excellent. I did not meet the Camp Host. Again nice place to stop over. You will hear the traffic more in the lower loop than the upper loop.

Very nice BLM campground with incredible views. We had our side by side with us and were able to directly access 100’s of miles of trails from Cedar Pocket Road.

A pretty and convenient place to stop for the night between St. George and Vegas. You're right by the highway, so road noise is inevitable. I planned to tent camp, but the wind was pretty strong so I slept in my Outback. Nice to have flush toilets and running water nearby. Wish I could have arrived earlier in the day to explore the trails.

Don't expect to get down to the river bank. Very steep cliffs that you must be agile to navigate. Very clean restrooms. Nice quiet park for a few days.

Kind of an unexpected little find I’ve eyed for years driving by and I gotta say it was worth it. The camp site filled up quickly given the nice weather. Lots of rvs and people who can’t drive them but everyone kept to themselves and were friendly. The only downside is the scan and pay QR codes in an area of the canyon with no signal it doesn’t make much sense. Aside from it beautiful scenery and the Virgin river is a short hike down if you can make it. I’ll defiantly go back again ine of these days
