We got there late but our campsite was posted so we headed to our spot. It was for disabled. The usual fire pit and table sat outside our door, and the toilets and showers were spotless.

If you head to Zion this is the best camp.

We stayed here in a Class B Motorhome.

Overall this campground is a lovely place. The location is good, provides a lot of marvelous views. Lots of trees and shrubbery. The grounds are clean. No hookups except for electric and 50amp. Would have been perfect if they had water and showers. The roads are narrow, though, and the sites are a bit uneven. Otherwise, it's really a beautiful campground.

We stayed here in a Class B Motorhome.

We had a nice gravel, level site. The site was electric only, but water wasn't too far away and the dumping station was right by the entrance. We liked the fact that we could take a short walk to the visitor's center and catch the shuttle. They honor the Senior Pass which made this the most reasonably priced stop on our whole trip.

We stayed here in a Class A Motorhome.
