We arrived at Kershaw-Ryan and weren't happy about how small and close the campsites are to each other. We were looking for a spacious area. Our next choice was Cathedral Gorge Campground, but we learned they too were full when phoned. Next option, Echo Canyon State Park, which is 43 mins away from Kershaw-Ryan. Our hour and half trip turned into a well worth it three hour journey. Echo Canyon is exactly what we initially wanted for a campground. Beautiful scenery, spacious, remote, plenty of availability, water stations at each campsite, trails, lots of geodes for kids to find, a fishing lake, an unexpected mini library and clean restrooms. Very well maintained campground. We loved everything about Echo Canyon State Park. Our kids didn't want to leave. We'll definitely make the three hour drive back here.

We did the Moon Canyons and Cathedral Canyons, and honestly...why is this not on everyone's list?? For like $5 (Nevada resident win), you get access to these insane slot canyon formations that feel like you're walking through another planet. The further you go in, the better it gets, not just visually, but temperature-wise too. It was still in the 90s outside, but inside the canyons it was actually COOLER, which felt like a luxury at that point in our trip. We basically spent the whole time weaving through these super-narrow canyon passages and just being in awe the entire time. At the visitor center, we realized this is basically the thing Cathedral Gorge is known for, and it makes total sense. The slot canyons alone are worth the stop. We didn't even do much else in the park, but honestly, we didn't feel like we needed to. 10/10 recommend. Hidden gem. Easily one of the best surprises of the whole camping era so far.

A little hiking up can also be done but be careful. If you knock on the walls of this place it has a hollow sound so walking on top of these natural structures might give way. $10.00 for a non resident to park and $5.00 for Nevada residents. Don't skip out paying as they come around and check to see you have a receipt on your dashboard.

From what I understood the owner was away so his family was handling the business. Very friendly and welcoming folks eager to help out should we have any problems. We had an additional truck and car hauler with us. We were able to park it there in the park near us so we didn't have to worry about off site unsecure parking. We had very easy to access full hook ups on the site. The site was very level with easy ingress and egress. Some of the sites have tree coverage and others are exposed which can work if you need to run a Star Link or the like or want the shade. The park has a really nice laundry room and shower facility right at the entrance attached to the office. The park was really quiet at night with zero noise heard from the main highway that has a lot of trucks going through using their Jake Brakes. Alamo itself is small but has the needed basic services. This is one of those hidden gems of a park to be able to plan a stop at while travelling.

Not sure if that was the best way or not. The parking lot is not huge, and you can't park in the designated camping area spots. There are plenty of picnic tables, probably more than parking spaces. There are at least 20 tables there. There are a few trails to choose from. Very close the parking and campsites is a short 1/4 hike (or shorter) to the dinosaur prints. There is a hike in the other direction to the mini waterfall and pond. Probably about a mile or a little over a mile (1direction). We also found an old almost petrified bristlecone tree (that was neat). We got lucky with the weather for Dec, it was probably about 60 degrees and very nice. I saw that in the summer it can be over 110 so I am glad that we got the nice weather. The red /orange scenery is spectacular and representative of the area, like it is at zion, bryce, snow canyon, pioneer park, etc. We enjoyed a picnic lunch there, and we had a blue bird, a scrub jay, come join us and beg for food.

It is a beautiful and easy hike - until the very end. it meanders along a path - then at the end you need to climb some pretty big rocks to see the payoff of the beautiful canyon. We loved this hike.

He suggested my friend and I relax (after our hike) and let us use the porta potty, which was purple and was "clean" as far as porta pottys go! Anyway, because of that...I decided the next time I went back I would order a snack, I'm all about supporting local businesses, especially in small towns! Fast forward this summer...I brought two friends hiking and the three of us stopped to have snow cones! Now, I haven't had a snow cone in years...so, it was somewhat nostalgic and fun with all the creative names they have. They were good but more up my kids alley than mine, as I'm older, I've limited my intake of sugar. Now if there was a variety of "Margarita" snow cones, I'd be ALL IN!! LOL Bottom line: the proprietors here are great people with lots of knowledge about the area and it's a refreshing treat for you and or the kiddos to have something cold and tasty on a hot day!

It didn't look very big to me from the map view but it's a good size to drive around before picking a good spot. Parking is cash only put in an envelope outside the park. Watch out for snakes! If you are in the area and are unsure of going, this is your sign saying to go. I almost didn't and now that I know what it's like out there, I would have regretted it sooo bad if I didn't go. It's truly so beautiful and peaceful.

This is Pine Valley-located in Dixie National Forest (yes, there's a fee-$8 per vehicle). There are picnic areas and space for fishing. At the guard station, there's a handwritten sign telling visitors not to be a "fishnicker"....I inquired about this new word and learned that it's a person who comes to fish but parks their vehicle in a picnic spot, making it unavailable for people who want to picnic there. Makes sense-if you're here to fish, park in the fishing area and leave the picnic tables to people who will use them. There are several walking/hiking trails and they are beautiful! We did the Santa Clara River Walkway which was an easy walk through the trees with pretty views. There's plenty of available parking at the trailhead and clean bathrooms before you start your hike.
