Breezy Bee:

"Campground is decent, the sites are spread far apart so you’re not on top of each other. The bathrooms are clean and heated with real toilets and sinks but no showers. The wind was absolutely insane and broke our canopy. Tent camping is NOT advised. If you have a fifth wheel or rv that has all you need inside I would say it’s a nice place to camp but if you’re tent camping, it will blow away."

"I’m not sure when this park is ever busy. It’s such a beautiful location and not far from St. George Utah for any essentials if needed. When we were there we only saw one other vehicle in the entire park meaning we basically had the entire place to ourselves. It’s so secluded, yet right off the interstate. We could hear a little of the traffic noise, but that really didn’t bother us at all. The scenery here is amazing and the river is beautiful as it flows through this gorge. Many sites do require a reservation, but plenty are first come first serve. Well worth the stop for a few days."

"If you have an opportunity, you need to spend a night or two here. The area, just off the interstate, is absolutely beautiful. Sites were $8 (no electricity, dump, water) and unfortunately, the best sites were the ones reservable ahead of time. We stayed there, in our 35’ 5th wheel, on January 1 & 2, and had no issues getting a spot. The largest sites are on the lower loop, but those are supposed to be for day use and single night use. We stayed in site 33 on the upper loop and barely fit. Neat little campground to campground trail, as well as a trail down to the river."

"Beautiful views and a trail down to the river. Directly off I-15, easy self serve registration ahead or when you get there. Only vault toilets, no camp store or anything. Makes for a great overnight stop on the way from Vegas to Zion."
