Hiking and biking enthusiasts will find direct trail access from Snow Canyon State Park Campground, with the Petrified Dunes trail starting just yards from campsites. The 29-site campground sits within red rock canyon walls, offering a mix of paved and gravel sites that vary significantly in size and privacy.
Sites 1-14 feature water and electric hookups plus covered pavilions, but campers consistently note these spots sit extremely close together. Lee D. observes that "if a person in the adjacent site sneezed, you would hear it." Sites 19-22 provide the most space, with site 22 featuring a 90-foot driveway. Several sites offer hookups beyond the main cluster, including 15A, 15B, 17, and 18, though 15B shares water access with 15A.
The campground accommodates RVs up to 56 feet and provides full hookups including sewer connections. Two restroom facilities serve the campground, with showers requiring a code for entry. Multiple reviewers mention the shower design requires holding down a chain to operate, though the facilities stay clean. Cell service runs spotty throughout the area, typically showing one to two bars.
Access involves navigating residential areas, and some visitors report rough road conditions. The park stays busy year-round, with advance reservations essential even for weekday stays. Temperatures can reach uncomfortable levels during summer months, making shoulder seasons more appealing for extended stays. For those exploring the broader region, camping spots around Ivins provide additional options within a few miles of the park.
The campground serves as base camp for 14 miles of hiking trails, with the ranger station located on-site creating daytime traffic that quiets after hours.
Description
Snow Canyon State Park features red Navajo sandstone, capped by an overlay of black lava rock. Photography, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and camping are popular activities. Early spring and fall use of the park are especially appealing due to southern Utah's moderate climate. Two recent volcanic cones are found near the head of the canyon. This strikingly colorful canyon is 11 miles northwest of St. George. This is a desert park with extreme summer temperatures and little shade.
