Nestled within the spectacular Virgin River Gorge, this recreation area is surrounded by colorful cliffs and rocky canyons. Facilities include a developed campground, picnic/day use area, hiking trails and access to the Virgin River and two wilderness areas. The year-round campground has 75 developed sites (many pull-throughs), tables, charcoal grills, water, flush toilets, two handicapped-accessible sites and paved roads. A day-use area offers picnic tables, charcoal grills, shade shelters and restrooms; three group sites are available by reservation. The Recreation Area is located off of Interstate 15, about 20 miles southwest of St. George Utah and about 20 miles northeast of Mesquite, Nevada.
