This is a cash free campground, QR codes to pay. But… there is no cell service. WTF? Also flush toilets but no water for campers. WTF? Views were great.

Pull through site was a little tight for our 24 ft trailer+ Tow vehicle. Otherwise paved sites are nice and mostly flat. Hike to the river was a bonus. View of surrounding area delightful. Little noise from interstate did not bother us on upper loop. Great stopover on the way to Zion.

Nice area. Level paved spots with good space between sites. No Cellular service and no hookups. Boondocking at it's best.

Highway traffic can be heard into the night. Good short hikes available.

Beautiful. Quiet. Clean. There is plenty of room for parking our 30 ft RV. Bathrooms are clean with drinkable water and cooled with AC units when it's hot outside. Our site had the built shade cover and fire ring for a campfire or if you decide to cook it has nice fire crate attached to it. Trails nearby down to the Virgin River so the kids can swim and play.

We had a good experience. We stayed for 2 nights on a Sunday and Monday and slept in a tent. The campsite 92 has a great setting with wonderful views of the river gorge. Also a short hike down to the river and trails from the site. There are a couple of good flat areas in the campsite if your going to pitch a tent. Use upgraded tent stakes that hold to anchor your tent. It does get breezy in the gorge with some big wind gusts on and off throughout the day. The bathrooms were clean and acceptable. There is some traffic noise from the highway but also the sound of the river running. Overall the campground was quiet and peaceful. I will definitely be returning.
