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.
