Beautiful place to stay for a quick overnight. The site was clean and had a table, fire pit, and bbq. Site 38 had plenty of room for our F250 and 22ft trailer.

A very nice campground. Good facilities, paved roads, well maintained, clean bathrooms, water available, shaded areas, beautiful surroundings. Very impressive place, an oasis in the middle of nowhere!

Very clean campground and restrooms. Disappointed that the tent pad had pretty large divots in the middle of the pad, pretty much rendering the pad unusable. Was also a bit surprised to hear traffic noise from the highway, as it seemed that the campground was a bit further off the main highway (it wasn’t). Given that my reservation was during a shoulder season, it surprised me that the campground emptied out completely during the day, and as a solo camper, I decided to forfeit my reservation for the second night, as it would have been creepy to be alone in the campground.
Would like to try this campground again, maybe during a slightly busier time of year.

I have to go down to Vegas quite a bit from Central Utah and I stop off at the Virgin River campground and I love it. It’s a beautiful campground almost always something available clean. Thanks for having it there.

A great spot to stop for the night or two. Very pretty spot looking down onto the river flowing below.

This was a great stop on our way up to Glacier NP from Southern CA. Our site had a nice view of the river/canyon and sunrise. Our site was very quiet and peaceful except for the wind that was constatnly blowing. We will stay here again.

Lovely spot, just off the freeway but feels like you’re away from it all. Short walk to the river, easy to check in.

This site is fantastic if you are in an RV or travel trailer. Pretty views, easy access to hiking trails and the stars are stunning at night. Facility is kept clean and well maintained. However this is not a great site for tent camping. No privacy, wind gusts in the gorge are rough, very rocky terrain and the tent pads are very small.
