Great place for my one-night camp as I was heading across the desert. There was a little highway noise, but not too bad. My spot was close to the river, so it was minimal.

Beautiful views, located directly off the highway, easy self check in process. No facilities but it's perfect for an overnight on the way from Vegas to Zion ect.

Drove 500 mi, looking forward to our reserved and paid for site...pulled in. Somebody else there and snoozing away. He had a tag on the post indicating he had paid for it. Whoever runs the place didn't bother reserving it for us. We had to grab a remaining spot closer to the freeway and got no sleep. Thanks for nothing.

We camped 4 days, 3 nights in our 45 ft motorhome. The site (62) was plenty big for our motorhome and maybe even another. Only issue was the daytime temperatures got to 93. Since we are total electric, we had to run the generator a few times a day to keep the necessities running. Besides that, we loved it there.
We have e-bikes and road RD 1005 which was so beautiful. I wish we had more time to do it again as the canyon views are spectacular.

This is a great facility conveniently located off the I-15 between St. George and Las Vegas. It's a bargain at $8 a night with flushing toilet. We did reserve a site in advance and the site was spacious. It was also clearly marked as a reservation-only site so walk-in folks would know to stay away from it.
