The little cabins get the job done for the price. Mini-fridge, microwave, and beds. There are on site restrooms, showers, and laundry.

This is a very basic RV Park. Quite outdated but clean. It is my go-to park when I want to be out of the high price Brice canyon area. It's self service, the hookups have always worked properly every time I have visited. I enjoy the extreme quiet in the park. I don't know their formal rules, but this seems more of an adult grown up Park. Not a lot of noisy kids running around and also not any campfires as I don't see any fire rings. Basically, gravel lot with nicely divided sites. Come for the quiet and the good price and you'll be happy! If you need playgrounds swimming pools campfires, etc you may choose to look elsewhere.

We spent a couple of nights. FHU just $30. All gravel drive thru sites. Self serve pay at the front building. Nice views in rural America. Nice place for this country couple and dogs. Cabins available also.

Very cheap prices and they have what you need, but it's a very run down place. They have a RV dump and water, so that's a good stop for travelers. We've spent a couple of nights there before and it was fine. It's pretty much a self serve place.
