Not for RVs

This is a beautiful place, but the road to the campsites are not acceptable for RVs. Also, it seemed like the people were a bit sketchy. I didn't feel safe in this location.

Beautiful views! Great spot close to the interstate. A little crowded but enough trees for privacy.

Stopped by here on my way north to Yellowstone. Nice little area with a creek about 4 miles from the Interstate. Close to town for anything you need.

It was a little crowded but the heavy presence of evergreen trees allows plenty of privacy. We actually didn’t hear any other campers the whole night.

A little road noise from the two lane road nearby but it died down by bed time.

Great spot!

We stayed here when the sites farther up the road were all occupied. I had discounted it at first because someone indicated the need for high clearance. We had no problem with our sprinter except the bumper hitch drug a tiny bit.

Most of the place is better for tents but if you're an experienced driver you can navigate the spot off to the right next to the creek.

Wouldn't recommend without 4wD if raining and wet tho. It's quite sandy and early rutted.

Loved having the window cracked and listening to the creek as I slept.

Very crowded

Super close to Cedar City great area beside the river. But very crowded when I pulled in the the night. Ended up going a couple turns down to find a place. Definitely not a place for 2wd bumpy roads. Tiny bit of mud. I was surprised to see how many people hauled their RVs back there. Probably would stay again but would come earlier. Looked like people had been there longer than 14 days
