I always love this campground. While I hear the noise of those who hit the rumble strip on the highway, it's not obnoxious, but soothing. It was great because it wasn't full, so not noisy at all. Clean restrooms.

Nice campgrounds with easy access to sites and nice access to trails. The scenery is beautiful. Noise from nearby I-15 is a little distracting but not bad. Some of the sites do tend to flood a little bit during downpours...as we experienced.

We prefer staying at this campground when visiting St. George area. The recent renovations to the grounds and campsites were a great improvement.

What a wonderful place to spend the night. Easy access to/from I-15, with little road noise at night. Bathrooms were very clean, which is a bonus.

We chose the campground for a one night stay enroute to Death Valley. The campground was not crowded, the restrooms were clean and stocked, and it was perfect for our purposes. We had easy access to the river, which our dog really enjoyed.

no toilet paper in the bathrooms. There should be cell service there and there isn’t. The entire facility is overgrown with weeds. It doesn’t look like it’s had any care. Need some love.
