Campground was great. There is a disconnect between Rec.gov. And the actual postings on site the website marks any campsites FF but the actual signs say reservation required

Beautiful campground, clean and spacious, beautiful views. We took spot 28 and it was perfect. Really recommend this campground as a stop between death valley/Vegas and Zion

Nice campsite. Clean and well laid out. A little mousey. Would stay there again while traveling through area, but would bring ear plugs next time to mitigate highway noise.

There are a lot first come first served sites that were available, but I did not want to chance not getting a site as I had driven extra distance and I was driving alone. Wish it was possible to reserve the FF sites after a certain time in the day

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

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.

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.
