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.
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.
We were happy to be here after a long drive and failed searches . I would use this area as a failsafe-always something available here. There is a lot of shooter trash along the whole road but we were able to go to a spot with the trailer off the road aways where there wasn't much junk . Nice enough base to explore the region where we could let the dog roam around. The road is busier than you would think so if you have a spot close to the road I wouldn't let dog loose.
The paved portion of the road is really rough. But after spending the day on the dirt portion, it felt quite luxurious. I saw a few Subarus out there. High clearance would be good and 4x4 helpful. Mostly rocky and slow going for me...maybe need softer shocks.
I arrived a the townsite late so that is where I stayed because I could not make it back to Whitney Pocket. There were 2 others camped there.
Sight seeing was cut short because of the wind. Getting out of the vehicle was always work. Will have to come back when the conditions are better.
This area is just east of Mesguite Nevada along Gold Butte Road (old mining road that goes many miles into the NE area of Lake Mead. No water, power or cell phone connection in most areas. Must have good tires and high clearance.. many pot holes and hard gravel roads in the area. The area also has several great petroglyph sites. Great for ATV or side by sides.. lots of equestrian riders in the area as well.
These are open BLM camp sites.. one of around 25 or so in the immediate area. None of these camp sites have amenities, no water, no power, no bathrooms.. just open camping. Some camp sites in the area, those with unobstructed views south to Lake Mead generally have cell phone coverage.. the others do not have any coverage. We love this area for the colorful red and white sandstone formations the dot the landscape. Some of these camp sites will accomodate large RVs.. most can accomodate around 30 feet or less. Must have good suspension.. road into the area is partially paved but has many deep potholes.. the road turns to gravel at Whitney Pocket.
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.
Not much to tell it’s a standard desert campground. Heard quite a bit of gunfire and there are some obvious signs people had targets set up along the access road. Lots of litter which is unfortunate to see. I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain how easy it is to not litter.
This is a very remote area if you go in far enough. I saw no other campers and only a couple 4 wheel drives going through the area. Be sure you're self sufficient in every way before you go too far in.
Very quiet campground and felt like we were alone. Can’t see other sites. Horse stables away from tents and didn’t smell at all. Restrooms really clean. Can’t wait to go again
If you want wilderness this is the place. Get out into the parashant and it's all yours. There's nothing there but what God put there and a few people left behind. (I was a little disappointed with the small bit of thrash left at some old camp sites I found). It's beautiful if you like desert southwest areas. Lots of juniper, cedar, cacti, etc. Be sure to be prepared to be self sufficient in all ways if you get off the main rough road or you could be in real trouble.
Beautiful campground under pine-trees near creek.
Didn’t stay here, but the road leading up to the site is insanely rocky. 4WD MINIMUM. Tried to get up it with a Subaru forester and we had to bail halfway through. Anything lifted will be better, too. Didn’t see anything about this road until we made it there so only go if you’ve got the car for it, or if you want to walk!!!
Update to some other reviews - Dogs are now allowed on ALL the trails. This is a beautiful area for hiking and camping. The RV sites with hookups are a little crowded but other sites are very private.
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
Lots of space for camping. Fairly decent roads. Just don't come out while it's wet. Fair bit of trash around hillsides where people are shooting.
This campground was awesome! A map and information guide was waiting with out name on it when we arrived, easy access to water and a bathroom. Amazing views from the campsite, and sites were nicely organized and separated from one another.
Very nice campground. Lots of trails but I brought my dog and dogs are not allowed on most of the trails. So disappointed because that’s what Addie and I do is explore.
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.
Stopped here before starting the trek on Whitmore Canyon Trail to the Grand Canyon overlook. Great place to stay with LOADS of spots. Plenty of room for everyone and plenty of big spots for groups. Lots of cool hills and jumps for wheeling. Also just a couple miles from the petroglyphs.
Got spot #22. Very secluded yet close to bathhouse. Hot shower (no extra charge) was wonderful. Ranger at check-in was super nice and helpful. Lots of trails you can even take your dog on. I got one bar of Verizon near the bathhouse.
dispersed as can be there is absolutely no type of resources once you get down to the Falls so just Set up camp anywhere and enjoy the falls. A magical place for sure. You can find Premade fire rings and utilize those spots or make your own little fire pit you have plenty of rocks to choose from and literally enjoy the peace and serenity we have a jeep so it was no problem getting in or out.
Snow canyon state park has beautiful red rock, great hiking trails
Great staff, small sites although they did have one for our 39' 5er.
I love it ! So beautiful some people think you have to go to Cancun or Hawaii to see beautiful this was absolutely beautiful the drive to get there was a little rough .
I was there many years ago it was lovely family dinner for. Main cabin big enough to accommodate a few differant
Toquerville Falls is priceless, off grid to the best. We’re making it our annually trip
