Very nice campground with wonderful views of the gorge. Clean flush restrooms around the campground. Level rv pads and a short drive to St. George or Mesquite. We reserved a campsite before arrival, but if you choose first come. first served then you have to scan the Q code at the entrance. Here is the issue. There is 1 bar of T-mobile cell service there. No AT&T or Verizon. So good luck paying for the site while there.

Great campground, but requires the app to stay. They don't accept cash in the envelope for campground payment.
