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.

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.

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.

Nice spot not far off the interstate, but far enough away to not hear too much road noise. Bathroom toilets are a bit weird - there are no seats, just bare aluminum toilet bowls. It felt weird to sit on naked toilets, even with TP lining it.
