The QR system is not the best for everyone. Maybe you would like a few days away from your smart phone? Why can't they accept cash? Hard to do QR codes at all at night... other than that it is a great stop over at a great price

The most beautiful campground I've ever stayed at. Camp host stopped by and was very friendly and welcoming. Even got some great photos of a herd of Bighorn Sheep on the ridge across from my campsite.

Love the payment method for this area that is out of cell range. It has well maintained and clean restrooms, lots of nice campsites and good trail access to the surrounding area. It's also located in a convenient area between other state and federal campgrounds.

My senior pass was not accepted at time of payment for unknown reason. All info provided was correct. Camp host did his best to help and gave me the local office number to contact the next day for further assistance. I called, was assured I’d get a call back but they never called back. This all took lot of time and emotional strife and prevented quality time to enjoy the area. We have been to this campground several times before without incident. Very frustrating and disappointing.

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

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.
