Swimming and fishing enthusiasts will find direct access to Quail Creek Reservoir at this state park campground, where most sites overlook the water from elevated positions along the shoreline. The campground sits in a red rock basin near Hurricane, with paved sites accommodating RVs up to 60 feet and offering various hookup configurations.
Campers report well-spaced sites that prevent a crowded feel despite the compact layout. Each site includes a covered picnic table and fire ring, with many featuring water and electric hookups. David N. notes the campground has "well spaced sites water and electric hook ups very friendly hosts and dog friendly with access to the lake." The elevation provides lake views from most spots, though sites closer to the access road experience more traffic noise.
The reservoir serves as the main attraction, with warm water temperatures that draw swimmers and boaters during peak season. On-site rentals include kayaks and paddleboards when available. A boat ramp accommodates motorized watercraft, while a separate dock area serves non-motorized vessels. Fishing remains popular year-round, and the day-use pavilion can be reserved for group activities.
Facilities include clean restrooms and outdoor coin-operated showers, with Meghan B. confirming "Bathrooms/Showers are new and clean." The campground operates year-round, though summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees with minimal shade. Wind can be significant, as the Hurricane area is known for gusty conditions. Cell service works well throughout the campground.
Reservations carry an $8 fee but help secure spots during busy periods, as the campground frequently fills even on weeknights. For additional camping options in the region, consider campgrounds around Hurricane or nearby alternatives like St. George / Hurricane KOA Journey.
