Sand pit campground not a bad stay

Geared towards buggies and jeeps but the lady at the desk put us on the outside camp spot which was nice. Clean showers (2) and bathrooms (4). No shade and the lake had a swimmers itch warning which is why it did not get 5 stars. Over all a nice 1 night stay. Close to town for food and close to Zion. Gate closes at 10pm so if your later than that look elsewhere.

Nice staff

Smelly bathrooms, loud dune buggies all day and evening all around. Because of a lot of rain we had to change from the primitive to Sandpit campground because Primitive had become just mud, and without a 4WD it would have been impossible to park. Staff was super flexible and helpful

Campground on reservoir, lots of ATV uses come here.

We stayed here for a few nights in the Sandpit campground loop.  Most of the campers there had ATV's.  

The bathrooms and showers were good.  Clean and plenty of hot water. 

There is also a West campground loop that caters to RV use more but it gets filled up fast.  

It is a decent location for visiting Zion and other national parks and St George.  

Overall, we were not excited about this campground, but it was adequate.  We had water and electricty hookup.  Many sites do not have electricity and people used their generators.

Great place to swim

Lake is crystal clear. Great for swimming or paddling. Campsites are close to lake. Only negative for me was this is OHV mecca so noisy during the day.

Red Sands

Nice campsite. It was a bit cool when we went, not too busy - which is the way we like it.  The campsite itself was nice but it could get a bit loud with all the ATVs zooming past. If you're interested they do have rentals and the park is well maintained by the state.

We stayed at site 3. Nice view of the water. We did find a giant scorpion limping past so be aware. 

The dog and the kids had a lot of fun at the beach.

Ride and relax

We stayed at a group site without hookups for a week in mid-May and had a great time! The park was not crowded at all. There are trails for all SxS/quad level riders, including dunes and rock crawling. Awesome views at the Top of the World! The lake was perfect for swimming, floating, paddle boarding, and kayaking. We heard about the swimmers itch but didn’t have any issues (showered after swimming). The bathrooms were large and clean with warm showers. Water and dump station are right by the entrance. The location was close to Walmart and other stores. We also drove about 40 minutes to Springdale and Zion National Park.

Clean and spacious campground

We stayed 2 nights at this campground(near the sandpit). Our main reason was for an off road adventure because there are numerous off road trails for Jeeps, buggies, rzrs, dirt bikes, etc...amazing grounds! The beach is an easy walk away where there are picnic tables and places to wade in the water and play frisbee by the water. Campsites had soft sand and clean firepits available. There were flushable toilets, running water, and clean showers for campers. We loved our stay!
