We found this campground by accident, and we're so glad that we did! We had intentions of going to a state park in Utah, but it was a Friday night (mid-May, 2024) and we hadn't made reservations, and they were full. So, I went to Recreation.gov and found that this campground had spaces available. It was 25 miles away, but it was on the way to our next destination. The campground is located in the Virgin River National Recreation Area, managed by the BLM. It was also very inexpensive -- $12 with a National Parks Senior Lifetime Pass ($16 without) for a non-electric site.
We found the campground easily -- very close off the interstate but still surprisingly quiet. Finding our campsite though was another story! We were site 69 & the loops seemed to end at 68. We only found it after enlisting the help of a maintenance worker and a map in the restroom.
The campground is in a lovely location, with many sites having views of the canyons or the Virgin River. Handicapped sites also have covers over their picnic tables to protect opponents from the Arizona desert sun. Restrooms have modern toilets and running water.
The campground also has a few easy (and some harder) hiking trails -- including one down to the river where people were swimming and cooling off. None that we encountered were shaded so make sure you bring lots of water. read more
