Got in late and left early for a single overnight stay. The place seemed full but mostly quiet.

I don't have much to review really because I only spent the night. It was nice. It was close to the freeway and for me that was a good thing.

It made no sense to me that you must use the app to pay for a site but there is no cell service at the kiosk. So instead i had to drive to service and then pay an $8 fee for a $4 campsite on rec.gov.
The campground was clean and spaces were adequate. Nice views of the river and the surrounding mountains. There is highway noise but there is so much more on which to focus.

Beautiful scenery, close to St George and Mesquite. Paper and dog poo was abundant. Sad. No water or dump avail. Has a lot of potential. Roads are nice and camps have tables and fire pits.

Been to this campground many times. It's beautiful and a quick getaway from Las Vegas. Only complaint about this site is the amount of foot traffic since it's right next to the bathroom.

Good spaces between campsites. Facilities available are in good shape. Needs more signage, especially for exits, finding individual sites.. Ranger visible often during week. .
