Nice pavement, excellent access to restrooms, nice venture down to river. Only complaint is very un level parking and a good amount of what seemed to be homeless. Harmless tho. Just dishwashing and such in the restrooms and late nite arrivals. Wife was very nervous, but I felt safe with my pew pew by my side. I would stay here again, but wife wouldn’t.

We were very happy with the campground and our campsite. We didn’t know what to expect since we hadn’t been there before. It was very quiet and super private. We had great views of the canyon and the river. You can’t beat the price either. We would definitely stay here again as long as it was not too hot.

When we visited the campground, there were only a few other travelers. We reserved a ground in advance but it was not at all necessary. Though, we had a nicer place, so if you want to make sure to have a table that is underneath a roof, better reserve a spot. Apart from that, the facilities were proper, the location was very nice and there is nothing much to complain about.

Excellent campground, great location, clean facilities.
I reserved a site on here knowing that we would be arriving later at night and wanted to make sure we had a tent pad for easy set up. Someone was set up on our location when we arrived - our spot with the tent pad was sandwiched between two locations that did not have a tent pad and the signage was not the best to show that those other locations did not have a tent pad. It also was not shown anywhere that the location was reserved, though the post with our number did call out recreation.gov.

Bathrooms were clean when we arrived. Needs a place to wash dishes while tent camping.

The camping area is relatively close to St. George yet quiet and relaxing.
