Virgin River Canyon Recreation Area

Very nice place to stay with amazing atmosphere! We stayed for one night as this spot was perfectly located between two of our roadtrip stops (Zion National Park - Las Vegas), very close to the interstate road.
The payment is completely cashless - the digital payment works via the Recreation.gov app. The instructions are pretty good for that. We had no problem at all with noise from the road. There were different shapes of parking/camping spots for parallel or straight parking. There is plenty of space available with a lower and upper camparea. I would bet one could always find a spot - and if not a single spot, there might be the chance to share a spot with anybody else for a night. Restrooms were okay and there was a drinkwater fountain. Fire pits, standing grills and picnic tables available.
One could see a poster which announced that the bureau of land management (provider) thinks about raising the prices. For us it was still 8$ for the night (+1$ payment fee). Their proposed (future) prices were: day use 6$, overnight RV and tent camping 22$, group overnight camping 42$.
Maybe we just did not find it, but there was no RV dump station.

All in all, great place to stay!

Great place for a night’s stop on the way to Zion/Bryce NP.

I often stop here on my way down to Las Vegas for business or camping. It’s a great stop and it feels safe. It’s a nice hike down to the river and with the senior discount. It’s a pretty inexpensive. Stay will use it.

What an amazing time! All was great!

Quite a bit of freeway noise, but nice that you can walk down to the Virgin River.

Amazing campsite! One of the best I’ve stayed at spacious private unbelievable views

It's unbelievable that you can get a campsite here for eight dollars. Very nice campground with a great view. Depending on where you stand, you can hardly hear the highway. The bathrooms were basic and had lots of dead insects. We were passing through and only there for one night, so it didn't bother us much. We would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful area. The upper loop is behind a hill with no freeway noise. One gripe… no fee box…. Digital payment only! PROBLEM no cell service! Several campers with various cell services walking around camp looking for cell service. Surely some one should have checked that out before the policy change. Most people camped in a vacant site and waited for a ranger who never showed up.

Convenient location right off the highway. Traffic sound audible, but more like white noise.
Campground is clean and well kept with flush toilets and running water. Alas no showers. Great bargain for such a nice campground.

Great stop and found plenty of first come sites that were acceptable for our 31’ trailer. Bathrooms very clean, outer loop much quieter than one closer to highway. Nice hill e down to the Virgin River.
