Convenient campground. Check-in across the street at the Best Western/Thunderbird Restaurant. Early May and we did not have reservations, but they had open spots with hookups. Alongside a nice creek. Easy access to Zion National Park. Managers are great people to work with, in particular Nick.

I'm not sure how to put this review, I'm a bit confused! While this is basically a dirt/gravel lot it does have 50 amp FHU at a great deal. The wifi was awesome! The location was perfect to do Zion, Bryce and other scenic drives. We asked to stay longer and it was no problem. You check in at the hotel then go to your site which is down the street and not marked at all. No map, no rules, just a receipt. We figured it out though! After we left, I called 3 days later asking to come back and stay 1 night, they said they no longer accept campers, but just their own employees! Was it something I did? Kinda got a complex!

Very nice people. Hard to find things in your own, but they'll take care of you.
