About

State Park

Welcome to Snow Canyon State Park Campground, nestled near St. George, Utah. This place is a gem for anyone looking to immerse themselves in stunning red rock scenery and enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. The campground is open all year, so you can plan your visit whenever it suits you.

The campground offers a mix of tent, RV, and glamping accommodations. Some of the standout features include electric hookups, drinking water, and showers. Pets are welcome, and you can even bring your own firewood for a cozy campfire under the stars. The RV sites are paved, making it easy for big rigs to settle in, though they are a bit close together. If you're looking for more space, the non-electric sites offer a bit more breathing room.

Visitors have raved about the incredible views and the easy access to hiking trails. The campground is surrounded by high red rocks, creating a picturesque setting that's perfect for photography or just soaking in the natural beauty. There are 14 miles of trails accessible from the campground, including the highly recommended Petrified Dunes trail and the short trail to Jenny Cave.

One of the unique aspects of this campground is its proximity to lava tunnels and petrified sand dunes, adding an extra layer of adventure to your stay. The campground is also home to the ranger station, so you'll see some traffic during the day, but it quiets down nicely at night.

If you're planning a group trip, sites like 16A and 16B are perfect for larger gatherings, offering plenty of space and privacy. For those seeking seclusion, site 22 is highly recommended for its privacy and proximity to the bathhouse.

Overall, Snow Canyon State Park Campground is a fantastic spot for a weekend getaway or an extended stay. Whether you're here for the hiking, the views, or just to relax, you're in for a treat.

Incredible views, great site

We were in site 16A. It was close to 16B, which would be perfect for a large group, but we had plenty of privacy. Our site could have had 3-4 large tents with plenty of room. There was another group at 16B and we could see them, but it was very quiet at night. The hikes her easy and fun and we will definitely go back.

Amazing Small Campground

4 mile long campground with lava tunnels, petrified, sand dunes, and red cliff cliffs. Access to 14 miles of trails only 50 yards from the campgrounds. All RV sites are paved and close together, non-electric sites have a little more space. The campground is also the site of the Rangers station so a lot of traffic during the day but very quiet at night.

Was a fantastic place for the work week with easy hikes after the workday was done. The campground is surrounded by high red rocks and is a beautiful scenic setting.

Wonky layout

General: Small state park campground with 29 sites and two group areas. There are a variety of sites in both size and quality. Most are paved but a few are gravel.

Site Quality: Sites 1-14 have water and electric hookups but are obscenely close together (I’m quite certain if a person in the adjacent site sneezed, you would hear it)! The one redeeming quality to these sites are covered pavilions with lights. Most of the other sites do not have w/e but four others did (15A, 15B, 17, & 18). Some of the driveways are very long while others are very short. There are two “shared” or “twin” sites that would best be suited for people traveling together (although they are not as close together as Sites 1-14)!

Bath/Shower house: There are two restrooms in the campground. The bathrooms are very clean, as were the showers (there is a code to get into the showers).

Activities: Hiking and biking. There are several trails accessible from the campground. Highly recommend hiking the Petrified Dunes trail! The short trail to Jenny Cave was also nice.

The campground was full on a Tuesday in April; I recall that when we made reservations a few months in advance we snagged the only site available. However, if I had known the layout, I’m not sure we would have stayed. The only saving grace is that Site 1 is at the end of the row so aside from the road, we had privacy on one side. If you are lucky enough to snag Sites 19-22 (especially 22), they are the most private sites in the park and 22 has the longest driveway (could easily have fit four of our vans with room leftover). The trails were beautiful but the campground could definitely have a better layout. If we had one of these four sites, my rating definitely would have been higher.

Beautiful setting

CG is quite small considering the popularity. Sites are $40 no hookups, $45 elect hookups. Group sites are $200+. Cell signal is very poor. 29 sites plus two group sites. Showers available, no Xtra charge. No firewood for sale in CG so bring your own. SC-1-14 are elect and water hookup but are very close together! Only criticism is the $20 extra vehicle fee...that is way too high... imo

Incredibly handsome state park in Utah system- St. George area

My second visit to Snow Canyon was just as rewarding as the first one. Gorgeous red rock scenery and impeccable maintenance for this lovely box canyon named after a pair of brothers with a last name of Snow.

During the second visit in May the weather was perfect for sleeping without the tent fly--- stars overhead.

Showers and bathrooms are first class.

Great tent section but strange RV section though--- looks like urban parking lot.

Excellent staff.

Tent sites are lovely except for site # 28 which is in a "hole".

Campground is 25 minutes from St. George.

Beautiful Place to Visit!

Stayed here for the weekend. First time camping here. The non-hookup sites are MUCH better than the ones with hookups. The hookup sites are VERY narrow (some as little as 10 feet wide) and difficult to pull into. I would not recommend staying in them. The park is beautiful to see and there are many great hikes. I would highly recommend staying in the park to be able to enjoy all of the scenery.

Nice and quiet with big city conveniences

Great campground tucked right pass the hustle and bustle in St. George. There are 2 entrances to the park, you want to take the one to the right per your navigation, the other entrance outs you far out from the actual campground entrance. Check-in was very easy and campground hosts were very present. Sites 1-14 are a tight squeeze and on top of each other. Try to book in the outer loop. Sites 15A, 17 & 18 are great spots with nice tent pads. I was in Spot 15B and I don't recommend it. It's basically an extension of 15A and luckily we had a small 13' travel trailer and even then it was a tight squeeze. We parked in as if it were basic parking lot spot. If you had anything bigger, you would basically be nose to nose with 15A. The tent pad was the only nice thing about my spot. The location of the campground is great as you are within walking distance to multiple hikes. The bathrooms were always clean and the shower were over on the other side of the campgrounds. On the side of the showers, there are some nice secluded spots (Sites 20+). Most are first come, first serve but no hook-ups. Will definitely be back only if we could book a different spot

If you’re going to Zion ....

Don’t skip Snow Canyon. It’s absolutely gorgeous and never crowded. I’ve stayed here three times now and absolutely love it. Surprised by some of the reviews. Yes, the pull-thru sites are very close together (I’ve never stayed in one) but the rest are very spacious. Lots of trails and a walking /bike path that runs the long of the park (dog-friendly too!)

Beautiful parking lot

3.5 really. The park is beautiful and the location of the campground was as well. However, sites 1-14 are basically parking spots. You are really close to your neighbors and have very little privacy. But there are some tent sites with power that are more spread out. We will get one of them next time.

Not what we had hoped

We reserved several nights here, based on the expectation of cell reception and electric. I'm working remotely, so these are must haves. When we got there, we found that there was zero service on either of our carriers, and no WiFi available.

Only the RV sites have power, and the RV sites were pathetically small. They were basically parking spots with tiny shared picnic tables between them. It looked more like a Walmart parking lot than a campsite. Very disappointing.

If you're able to go without power and internet, the tent sites were fairly nice. But if you need either, look elsewhere.

Disappointed

This is a wonderful campground. The sites are well designed and some are really special. The reason I gave it only three stars has to do with pets. Dogs are not allowed on any hiking trails. They are allowed, however, on the paved bicycle trail which felt dangerous for both dogs and bicyclists. My 17 year old cat is a well seasoned camper. He free ranges around where he feels comfortable and always knows where home lies. The Camp Ranger ordered my cat to be leashed. That was a first in four months of camping and I knew it would not go well. We were going to stay for one week but left after only one night. Disappointed.

Beautiful park

We pulled in on a Saturday night, no reservations, but lucked out and grabbed the last site in the park to pitch our tent. RV spaces are VERY close together, but if you don’t mind not having hook ups, head to the back of the park. Really pretty sites, not on top of each other. Great views. Park has showers. Bathroom was ok. Not too far off I-15 to make it a stop on your way further north.

Gate Code after 10pm

We didn’t know. Didn’t see it posted. Gate closes by 10pm. They also didn’t answer the phone after 8pm when we called to let them know our arrival would be after dark. Darn the time change. But they were very nice once we got ahold of them for the trip back. This spot is gorgeous. Close to the road and folks do zoom down the 10mph road in the middle of the night - so its loud and would wake a light sleeper in a tent (or car like we got stuck sleeping in🙄). But the views of the white and red striated rocks were breathtaking. There were no biting bugs to speak of in late August, but it was super hot until about 11pm. It was just an overnight spot for us to get on our way and we can’t wait to come back in fall or spring with the bikes! Bathrooms were clean. No shower to speak of. Hook ups were good and dump station was easy. But spots are narrow. We had enough room for our driver side slide to go out but likely not a passenger side slide and not our awning. No need since there were covered picnic tables anyway. They were clean and the grounds were kept nice as well. Our kiddo had fun at the park and there was shady grassy spot for the dog.

Nice campsites, pretty setting

We did the tent sites. Excellent sites, though sites closer to the center of the canyon have zero shade. But well built, with a picnic table and grill, and leveled. Pretty little state park but...one bathroom was broken and the code they gave us for the women's showers didn't work. Very confused young man as my wife exited the man's shower.

The Rona helped us reserve a site

SCSP is amazing. We live about a 5 minute drive from the South entrance. We’ve lived in the area for 3 years now so we’ve hiked everything in Snow Canyon multiple times, but it’s gotten so popular that it’s hard to get a site without reserving pretty far in to the future. We are more spontaneous than we are planners so we are usually out of luck. But this time we got site 21, which is awesome, on Easter Weekend with no notice.. only because the corona virus was keeping non-locals out of the Park.

Beautiful!

Came here for an evening bike ride and backpackers dinner to watch the sunset and see some stars. It was peaceful and beautiful! The 3 mile paved bike path is brand new and I enjoyed riding through the park.

Bathrooms were clean and the campground was full but seemed quiet and nice. I made some dinner at the picnic tables and only had to share the space with a squirrel. This is a good day use area but I’d definitely come back and camp here. It’s a well thought out park with well marked trails and information a long the way to make your hikes more interesting.

Cell service was okay (1-2 bars with Verizon). There’s drinkable water pipes too which was nice to fill my water bottles.

Amazing place

I had no idea this place existed and I’ve been driving through St. George for years. There is a lot of beautiful variety in the landscapes within the park. The park fee was $10 but if you camp at Snow Canyon, it’s included in the cost.

The sand pit reminded me of something from the Flintstones. A great spot to take your kids to play in this super soft, red sand. I would recommended taking a bike or a longboard (like I did in my video) and ride along the paved sidewalks. You get to be immersed in the vegetation and have a great view of the canyons. Definitely will be returning soon!

Beautiful scenery you have to see in person.

Just returned from 2 nights, my only negative is the assignment of walk up sites. Arrived the first day in plenty of time only to get the group overflow section, being told we could get a regular site the next day. Showed up the next morning first in line to only be told we want to accommodate the folks staying 2-3 nights not one more. Decided to stay in the what basically is a parking lot for the group site. So note make sure everyone is on the same page for site assignment. Okay the positive it actually is a beautiful camp ground and state park. All levels hiking, climbing etc. Clean facilities and friendly staff. Next time I’ll make advanced reservation since the walk up part is a mess.
