Natural beauty kept and preserved, set aside for all. Me included to savor and enjoy. It appears rough but it shows its tenderness when a desert squirrel runs across the area. Many picnic areas as well as restroom facilities. BBQ pits available for the more adventures. Much to see and a short hike takes you to the Virgin River. Another amazing sight to see. Take a moment, stop and Enjoy !

Very nice recreation area with two campground loops, 108 sites, and bathrooms with running water, no showers. Day pass $2, camping $8 . Truly an oasis between St. George and Mesquite. Well maintained with ADA and sheltered sites. Several trails provide miles of hiking, but the paved loops and entrance make a great walking route. Perfect place to walk dog. The upper loop is noisy because of the interstate, but the lower loop is much quieter and down near the river there's virtually no noise. Some really nice spots with paved pads and fire rings overlooking the river and canyon. Amazing scenery with Joshua trees and cacti where the Mojave desert meets the Colorado plateau with steep walls cut by the Virgin River. It doesn't seem that many people camp here as the place has always been pretty much deserted apart from people stopping by from the freeway to use facilities and stretch legs when I've been there. Really dark night skies. Four trails also just north of exit, two by freeway and two more a mile up the road. You could get 10-15 miles of hiking in easy. Sullivan's Canyon trail from campground crosses the river so be prepared to get wet or remove shoes.

Site 92 has beautiful views! Pros: beautiful view, flat sites, great hiking. Cons: site 92 is right beside the trail to the river so A LOT of people walk right through your campsite thinking it’s part of the trail (it’s not). We had other campers walking through our site at 4 am heading down to the trail. The bathrooms are filthy, by far the worst I’ve ever seen.

Campsite #3 had great views, a level tent space, and far from everyone else. Only downside was the wind. Do not camp in this spot if you are expecting wind beyond 10mph or if your tent isn't built to withstand it.

This campground has gone cashless but is still First Come First Served self check in through the recreation.gov site. QR codes at each spot. It was a bit windy during the day, but the night was calm. Nice clean, paved sites. Close to the highway, but it didn't disturb me
