Of the three nights we were there, only the first day was there TP in the restrooms. It's only out of experience did we bring our own. There was no camp host to talk to, and we did not see any employees. I paid over $60 for our three nights with some very simple expectations.

Very clean sites. Many convenient water spickets. Was disappointed the dump station outside of the park was closed. Not sure if it is a permanent closure.

This is a must stay place if you are going near this area. Wendy at the camp entrance was super nice and was happy to answer all our questions since we had never camped with an RV before. Sheri our camp host was very friendly , came by our campsite to ensure we were comfortable and had all we needed. Chatted with us for a bit and explained the area and what to see while there. My husband and I both agree that it is the cleanness and best kept campground. The paved trail is beautiful and shaded, benches to sit and view area. Small stream flows down the middle and there is remnants of a canal that was dug out back early 1900's that you can hike through. There are a few trails to hike around the area. About 34 miles from St. George, UT. You can buy firewood from camp host for 7.00/bundle. No RV hookups but clean bathrooms. There is a small lake with rainbow trout. Look on the map when picking your campsite and get close to water as possible for great views. There is deer, wild turkey and ducks. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back soon.

Camping was excellent with a wonderful camp host. Good trail riding available. I was disappointed to see so many people in the equestrian camp without horses that were in sites with horse corrals.

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
