Doesn’t look like there were any improvements made. But other than that it’s always been a nice area

The good: Amazing views, flush toilets, dumpster for trash, and a fairly level site.
The bad: The noise from the hwy never really quit... it slowed at night but never was it quiet. This is also a very popular stop off point for folks just driving thru... from sun up to sun down there was a steady flow of cars and people all around our campsite.

We were on our way to another location so only booked one night. What a spectacular location nestled in the Virgin River canyon! Wish we could have stayed much longer! Will return if possible!

Great park, very scenic. Upper loop is quieter imo, less I15 road noise but lower loop is great too. We were in spot 70 and it’s great as I’m in a wheelchair and it’s an accessible site.

Site#25 was very nice. We had a covered picnic table. There are no hookups. Must be self contained. Views upon views. The campground was quiet and not too busy the 3 days we stayed in early March 2023. The weather was cool. No cell phone service thru AT&T. It was a perfect get away. St. George and Hurricane are within 20 miles. Lots to see in the area. Snow Canyon was beautiful.

It’s a great campground to stay to unwind for the long weekend. The trail to the river is easy and could continue down or up river and make for a great hike up the ledges. It has great views of the mountains, a fire ring, flush toilets.
