Excellent spot to camp during the winter! Not too cold and close to both St George and Mesquite.

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.

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

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.

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.
