This campground is a perfect stopover when traveling along I-15. It is quiet with some spectacular views along the Virgin River Gorge, and the sites are mostly easy to pull into and set up quickly after a long day on the road. The only negative we found was that the water spigots were all turned off without any notification on recreation.gov nor was it posted anywhere in the campground. Luckily we knew we were entering desert territory and came prepared.

Nice campground and scenery of the canyon & river. Short easy trail down to the river. Restroom was dirty/stinky though.

Excellent spot to camp during the winter! Not too cold and close to both St George and Mesquite.

I enjoyed my visit to the campground. It was quiet,peaceful for the most part. Lot's of barking dogs. Restrooms were clean, but ran out of toilet paper for the last couple of days I was there. But I carry my own. Having access to fresh water is nice. I'll visit again soon.
