This is an easy access campground from I-15 The scenery is nice with some good hiking trails out of the campground. Flush toilets & running water in the bath room. Easy drive in or backin sites. I rated the CG 3 stars due to the lack of a dump station. Why would a CG have sewer & water but no dump station?!? We found a free dump station at a Maverick station in St George.

Great camp area. The only thing that would have made it better is to have water available to fill up a jug.

The park was very nice, but there was 25 to 30 mph winds every day.
