This is a convenient location, located off the freeway, but the noise isn't too bad as the campsites are somewhat away from the road. The bathrooms are basic but functional.

Fee to reserve ahead of time was too high. Campground was fine. Strong winds broke my tent poles. I am not sure if the wind is typical.

It was 103 degrees when we arrived and the campground was deserted with the exception of one other traveler the circled the grounds and left. We were pleasantly surprised that the restrooms were air conditioned. Even still we decided to depart for a cooler location and looked upon the campground fee as a donation since it was nonrefundable.

Nice spot just off the road with plenty of spots in a cool looking area. Main complaint is that most of them are reservation only, and signal is poor in that spot, so it’s best to plan ahead if you want to stay. Keep in mind these are all asphalt so it feels a little more like parking than camping.

This is a great stop over place for a longer trip. Or maybe a place to stay a few days during the spring or fall. Summer months most likely will be too hot for most people.

This campground is a fantastic hidden gem just outside of St. George. All of the campgrounds in and around St. George were full over Mother's Day weekend-this was one was almost empty! Several great hikes leave right from the campground. Easy access to the river. I was worried there would be a lot of interstate road noise, but there was almost none. Some of the sites were pretty small, but there were plenty to choose from in the middle that would have given more space. Bathrooms were very clean.
