Popped in on our drive to AZ. Vibes were great! Large open area to let dogs run around. Bathrooms weren’t grody like most gas stations. Their fountain drinks really hit. Worth the stop!

I rarely leave reviews, but this place is worthy of one. After a week of camping and fishing, I stopped for propane, ended up buying fuel, shower, snack and doing laundry. Cleanest restrooms, showers and laundry I have seen anywhere. Very friendly and helpful staff. I’ll stop here every time!
Tom Lambert
Great place to stop for a shower. Showers are only about $4 or $5 (supply your own towel and soap), staff is really friendly. Great place to get clean and recharge after a stint in the outdoors or as a stop on a long drive

I really enjoyed my time here. I was quite surprised how far back one can hike. My dogs loved it. Very quiet at night and you see so much of the sky. There's a quiet reservoir about 30 mins (I think. I got distracted and stopped at the Butch Cassidy site). Staff was friendly and it was incredibly convenient being next to a gas station.
M Harris
The site area is all gravel, pads were level, and area was clean. Decent laundry, showers, and bathrooms, and kept very clean. Has a "country store" and gas station. Nice fenced dog park, although also gravel. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Good location for Bryce Canyon, and within an hour to Zion. Panguich is about 10 miles away. Peaceful place to stay. Recommended place

RV park location is perfect if you are heading over to the 15 freeway from Highway 89. Check in was smooth, store has many choice's and sites are huge. Pride of ownership shows in this park. Prices reasonable. Excellent park.

Stopped here for gas and found a whole lot more! What a cute place! Location: easy on/off the hwy, easy to find Gas: there's unleaded and diesel and other types of diesel so you can gas up any vehicle. There's two groups of pumps so there's room to get an RV/5th wheel in. Store: has a huge selection of souvenirs. RV resort: has a public dump station and water. We paid $15. It was very easy to drive to it. Trash also available in the same space. There's a playground and dog walking area. Lots of RV sites with hookups and It's all wide gravel roads in good condition. There are also 5 really cute little tiny homes that are themed--a teepee, a general store, a train car. Inside is pretty much just bunk beds. I am assuming they do rent them out. Every site has a fire pit and picnic table. Very friendly service.

We actually stopped here for gas. The lady who greeted us outside was so friendly! The views from this place are amazing. Sadly, during this visit, you could see the smoke from the France Canyon Fire. Everyone that worked inside said hello as we walked in the door. The restrooms were clean. They have a laundromat, a small grocery store, and a souvenir shop. I even saw a play area outside. This looks like a great place for those who love to RV.

Female clerk doesn't know how to say simple things like, "hello", "how are you doing", or "would that be all for today?". She just walked up to the counter in a lifeless trance with her head down saying nothing and scanned my items while ignoring me at the same time. I asked, "can't speak?" She said, "huh?" I said, "Can't speak??" And she didn't answer me as a male co-worker walked behind the counter with her to tell her something. I instantly walked away, if I wanted to be ignored, I could've just stayed in my truck. Off to Flying J for my snacks it is, I'm not giving money to weirdos who treat me like that. 👎🏽
