The approximately 63,500 acre Beaver Dam Wash NCA is located in the southwestern corner of Washington County, Utah, along the state lines of Nevada and Arizona. The landscape provides an interesting ecological transition zone between the Mojave Desert and the Great Basin.
Its creosote bush, white bursage, and other desert shrubs grow at lower elevations and provide habitat for desert bighorn sheep and the Mojave Desert tortoise, a threatened species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Joshua trees and dense stands of blackbrush cover the slopes of the Beaver Dam Mountains, which rise along the eastern boundary of the NCA. Surface water flows in the upper reaches of Beaver Dam Wash, but rarely travels all the way through the NCA. Riparian vegetation along the stream channel is important habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife. At this time, there are no developed recreation facilities in the NCA.

The 87,900-acre Paiute Wilderness, several miles southwest of St. George, Utah, dominates the northwest portion of the Arizona Strip. It is separated from the Beaver Dam Mountains Wilderness to the north by Interstate 15. The Virgin Mountains form the backbone of this area rising over 5,600 feet from the desert floor. Mt. Bangs, the highest peak in the area at 8,012 feet, provides a commanding view of the area and the Basin and Range country to the west. Part of the wilderness is in the Arizona Strip Field Office and part in the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. The area's vegetation varies, ranging from ponderosa on top of Mt. Bangs, through pinyon forests, to scrub oak and sagebrush, and at the area's perimeter, Joshua trees, yucca and barrel cactus. These ecotypes host over 250 animal species including mule deer, mountain lion, desert bighorn sheep and desert tortoise. The deep canyons have several beautiful and secret places with water which attract campers and backpackers.

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.
Guide
This campround is mostly for RV's but there are 6 tent sites, 3 of which sit close to the main road. The bathrooms have flush toilets, sinks and showers. They are well maintained and very clean. Tent campsites have fire rings.
Guide
Awesome campground tucked in the river valley directly outside of Veyo and 30 minutes outside of St. George! Awesome campground for families with many amenities and activities such as pool, climbing, concessions, showers and more. Drove my Honda Civic in and tent camped for a night while exploring Utah. Campground manager/host was friendly and accommodating.
Traveler
This place is great for RV and Tent camping. There are 2 locations of restrooms and showers. Both have male and female restrooms on oposite sides along with 4 showers on each side. Very clean. Most of the tent sites are shaded they are 35’x16’ they do take your vehicle on the site as well so plan accordingly. Each site has a fire pit with grill and a stand alone grill. Really great place to stay. The Virgin River runs alongside the campsite. It is so close to the National Park as well.
Traveler
We were tent camping at this campground which is the only reason it will not get 5 stars from us. The campground itself is great, especially the bathrooms are surprisingly amazing. And here comes the but: the tent sites are right on the street without much of a barrier (a small wooden fence on one site, but nothing else). Everybody can just walk on the site. The noise is also awful if you're staying there during the main season. If you're staying with a camper you're probably ok.
RangerNicely kept state park, safe, on outskirts of St. George UT. RV spaces are CLOSE together. Tent sites are better, spacious. Showers in tent area have a pull-chain. From their website: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily Phone: 435-628-2255 Fax: 435-628-9321 Management: Kristen Comella, Park Manager Jesse Henderson, Assistant Manager. Great red rock/lava flow hiking trail options, most are easy/moderate, nice loop through Snow Canyon and around on mesa and back for road cycling. Great mtn biking in St. George area (including a roller coaster ride on hard packed single track: Bear Claw Poppy and Snake Pit Loop trails. Many other trails in area). Huntsman World Senior Games held 2 to 3 weeks in Oct. in St. George. Traffic in St. George can be heavy at times particularly during typical rush hour times.

We stayed here for 4 nights in October 2020 while tent camping. We selected this location because we were working from the road while also exploring National Parks and this met our criteria.
Pros:
-Less than a 30 minute drive to Zion National Park from here
-Great WiFi from the campground and cell service (T-Mobile)- totally possible to work remotely from here
-Nice amenities including a "social hall"- basically a large living room with some couches and tables. We worked from here and felt safe even during COVID because there was literally never anyone else in here.
-Pool if you're interested in that. We didn't use it, but it wasn't that crowded.
-Store is very well stocked. Basically a small grocery story and gifty type items. Prices are not that ridiculous.
-Picnic pavilion/camp kitchen with dishwashing sinks and covered picnic tables
-Bathrooms were updated and had hot showers (though showers have a 7 minute limit)
-Staff was friendly and helpful
-Bathhouse also has laundry (coin operated)
Cons:
-The 4 tent sites are right next to each other basically in a gravel parking lot. This place is really an nice RV park that then seemed to add in the tent area. If you don't want to be right next to your neighbors, you will not like this. That being said, we felt like we were able to be far enough away during COVID.
-There is no shade at the tent sites. The RV sites each seemed to have a tree, but none in the tent area. It would be pretty miserable to site out here during the day. We used the picnic pavilion and the social hall, so were ok.
-Less COVID precautions than I've seen at other campground- e.g. the only sanitizer was outside the store/office- none in the bathhouse, laundry areas, social hall, etc.- high touch places. They did have bottles of cleaning spray out, but no place had paper towels, so that felt pointless honestly.
Overall, if you're looking for amenities, including WiFi, are RV camping, want a good location to Zion, this is a great place and I recommend it. If you're looking for a really great tent site, you won't find it here.
Traveler
We spent 3 nights at this campsite and it is kept very clean, the amenities are well maintained. There is a beautiful view and very little light polution for star gazing. However if you plan on camping in a tent - the sites are very close to eachother with no visual privacy, the ground is very rocky and the tent pads provided are small (I could not fit my bell tent). The gorge act like a wind tunnel so it is extra windy.
I would highly recommend this spot for RVs and Travel Trailers but for tents it's not super comfortable.

Watchman is located just inside the main southern entrance for Zion National Park. It’s a large national park site with multiple loops and hundreds of campsites. The sites are best suited for tent campers and small trailers or vans. They also have park and walk in tent sites. The campground is along the creek which runs through the park. The views from the camp are simply breathtaking and remind me of Yosemite. The hiking trails are world class and shuttle buses system runs within the campground. The sites are very clean and well maintained as well as the other facilities which are first rate including the restrooms, showers, and information centers. The park staff are truly amazing and have to deal with huge crowds throughout the year. They have guard gate at the camp entrance of the camp for passes and traffic control. The park has visitors from around the globe and its proximity to Las Vegas and St George makes for a great day trip. Some of the sites have privacy with small trees and brush depending on your spot. You will have access to fresh water and supplies. You will need a reservation to camp here given the popularity. Zion is an absolute must see and highly recommended. We plan on coming back in the Spring.

I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as an “along the way” stay — grounds that you seek out for a night or two as a place to simply stay the night along your journey to regroup and get some sleep. Ratings for this category are based on: Cost: 3 Overall grounds: 3 Utility of sites (hookups, level ground, accessibility): 3 Noise: 4 Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 4 Layout: 4 Customer Service: 5
Mesquite, NV might not be an obvious destination for adventurers but it’s got a bit of a strategic location for those “passing through” as it’s right in the border of AZ & NV. About an hour from St George, Utah, 50 min from Valley of Fire State Park & the Overton Arm of Lake Mead... the location isn’t perfect, but it ain’t bad. There’s also golf nearby if that’s your thing.
The cost for a pull-thru site was $10 more than a back in and had no picnic table, and no personal “hang out” space. It had some mature trees which was nice, but that was it. You go there to park and sleep.
It’s directly next to a strip mall with a big Smith’s grocery store (with a special access door from the side of the park) which is both a pro and a con, depending on how you like your night sky to look. It’s totally safe and secure and the hookups worked fine. Upon check in I was warned the the wifi was terrible... they delivered on that promise.
There is laundry which was open, but the bathrooms were COVID closed. A small communal area with grill and covered seating was available.
The layout was straightforward and the sites were a bit unlevel (at least ours was).
The woman at the front desk was very sweet both over the phone to make the reservation and upon check in. You must call to make a reservation, doing it online only submits a request. As the weather starts to cool, this is definitely a spot for snowbirds. We liked it because it was a convenient enough place to stop for our purposes and wasn’t a total dump like some of the surrounding spots. We would seek something more convenient to explore the surrounding areas but for passing through, this place is fine, if not a little expensive for what it offers.
ScoutNice bathrooms and pool but very expensive for tent camping. Limited spots and showers timed.
Guide
Last stop on our Utah adventures and it was perfect. Had to pay to get in and pay for camping that wasn’t fun but it worked out they did have Full hook ups Available here!!! So thankful to dump from our other adventures We also tent camped next to our rig and it was good for everyone. The water was warm and enjoyable.
ScoutFeet from an extremely busy and noisy intersection under a street light. Only consider this campground for tent camping if absolutely desperate. And, in that case, consider a hotel.
Scout
Great facility with plenty of amenities. Everything from tent camping all the way to cabins. we go back every year if not twice a year. Located to plenty of outdoor adventures
TravelerWe stayed in the tent sites, some of the sites were small. But we had a ton of room
TravelerPretty packed in tent camping it we were up at sunrise and hiked in to Zion. After 12 hours in the National Park the showers came in handy and campfire finished off a great day.
LegendThis resort is very nice. Pricey, but it offers a lot. It is about 13 miles outside of Zion but they take reservations, other campgrounds nearby did not. The tent sites are right along the river which was wonderful. There is extra parking if you need it right by your tent site. You can play horseshoes, go swimming int he heated pool and use the hot tub. They encourage camp fires and have a gift shop. The showers run for 7 minutes, then you have to wait 5 minutes and then you can run them again, no coins needed. There are picnic benches at the campsites. Really enjoyed this campground.

This campsite was really nice! They have a gas station by the lodge, and it was perfect for a last minute campsite. We had a gorgeous view of the stars and a site to pitch our tent away from other guests. The lodge employees were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the park. The only downside was that the tent sites are right along SR-9 so you hear all of the traffic and see the lights of passing cars. We paid $34 per night for a tent site, and it was much cheaper and quieter than staying in Springdale by Zion’s main entrance. The drive down through the park to Springdale was breathtaking!
GuideLocated on the East end of Zion National Park. You'll find less traffic and quieter area opposed to the campgrounds located near Springdale, Utah on the south end of the park. Full RV hook-ups, tent sites available as well. Laundry facility to refresh you sweaty & dusty gear. Showers to enjoy after a day of hiking and sight seeing. Short drive to Bryce Canyon National Park.
Traveler
Giant free showers, kitchen use, coin laundry, level sites, friendly staff and cheap rates. Not all tent sites have a table but they have a pavilion with a bunch.
GuideStayed here one night in our camper van. Not a lot of rv spaces (completely full when we showed up late on a Saturday night) so we opted for a tent site which was cheaper anyways and they had plenty of open slots for a Saturday. It probably helped that it was rainy for the tent sites.
Good location, about 5 minutes down the road from Zion's east entrance. And zion is just amazing! Highly recommend taking a few days here!
The grounds have nice showers and restrooms along with coin-op laundry and foosball tables. Decent wifi (writing this review here) and nice couches in lounge area.
And the view is amazing to wake up too here! See photos.
Ranger
The tent sites aren’t sites, they’re just on a medium sized lawn where you have to pick a spot. $33 felt expensive but at least they had showers. Likely a better experience for those in RV’s.
TravelerReasonable price for right next to east entrance to Zion! Great shower facilities and WiFi in main building. No service on site. Lots of sites. Tent sites were pretty and big. Flushing toilet and water near sites.
TravelerPretty typical for an RV Park...lots of people, dogs and trailers. Showers and bathrooms are nice and clean. Not ideal for tent camping cause the sites are very close together and it gets loud in the morning, but if you can’t get a spot inside the park, this is a good option.
GuideIf you can’t snag a spot inside the park this is the next best place to RV or tent camp. Amazing views surround you, clean bathrooms and showers, great spots right by the river if you can grab one. Easy 10 min walk to the park entrance and lots of restaurants nearby.
LegendI was not impressed with this pvt campground. Everything appears rundown, worn out and weedy. The tent sites have old crappy tables that need paint, fire rings are just rocks, some are full of trash. This entire CG is close to the Hwy 9 traffic noise. Tent sites are $40 plus tax!!! Crazy!! RV sites are $54 and many of the RV sites appear to have residents long term. There are some primitive 4x4 tent spots above the main office bldg but I cannot imagine how rough they are. This is the only CG at the east entrance to Zion NP and it needs some investment and serious overhaul maintenance. Their customers are the unfortunate folks that could not get reservations in the Zion NP CGs...the BLM needs to establish a fee CG if this east entrance of Zion is going to be developed.
GuideWe sleep in a tent and you can park your car and pitch at a lower section. We camp in a tent in the bed of our truck and this didn’t work for us but the owner allowed us to switch to an available RV site. The grounds are well maintained and the bathroom and shower is really nice—like new build home nice. Super spacious bathroom and shower but there’s only one. There would be two but one was out of commission. Mostly RV spots but about 5 tent spots. Bring ear plugs as it’s right off a state route that makes a lot of noise. Great customer service and we liked the proximity to Zion and Cedar Breaks.
