Great open space. Beautiful area with clean bathroom. Great sunsets and sunrise. The park ranger was so helpful showing me how to pay for my site. It was a little confusing at first. Stayed one night and would come back. Perfect spot between Vegas and Zion.

A nice stop over. The spots are not very level and a bit unusual in design for the most part as they are more pull over to the side of the road and less back in off of the road. But it works in this design. There is no power or water or dump station. But it's better to be on pavement than just the open desert as there is less dust blowing in the wind. The scenery and hiking opportunities are excellent. I have no ide why some people are so obsessed with fires. The fire pits are very good. Bring your own wood if you must add to the World's Pollution. Cell reception on the other side of the Interstate is pretty decent but for some reason in this campground it is very bad. You can not count on being able to use your phone for Data Browsing. But you should if you walk around a bit at least be able to make a phone call. The Rangers are excellent. I did not meet the Camp Host. Again nice place to stop over. You will hear the traffic more in the lower loop than the upper loop.

We only stayed one night but the scenery was beautiful! Hiked Dow to the river and got some amazing sunset shots! Clean restrooms and surprisingly quiet considering the proximity to I-15. Just a short drive to St.George UT. Will definitely stay again!

A great spot-easy on/off i-15. Upper part is pretty quiet. Online check in-signal was a little weak, but we managed. Very clean.

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

Clean bathrooms, relatively quiet for the proximity to the interstate.

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.
