Great location that was near the river overlook. The lower campgrounds seemed less crowded and closer to the water.

This is a beautiful spot! Good size sites with nice fire pits and grills. Have hiking trails right out of the campground. Just a great time to sit and absorb nature!

We rented a spot with shade cover. The shade covered spots can only be rented daily so our 4 nite stay had to be processed as individual reservations, ridiculous! We stayed in spot #92 which needed a lot of love. The dirt was eroded from rain, a previous camper left a manmade fire pit under the shade cover, dirt and ashes included . There was no bbq and the fire pit was busted.
The view was beautiful. Weather perfect. The nites were quiet except for an unexpected knock on the door. Person asking for gas and promising to return the $30 gas can. We were disappointed the next day. Ah-well…we did the right thing.

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.

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 mi. Lots to see in the area. Snow Canyon was beautiful.
