This beautiful trail has abundant wildlife and vegetation. The 34-mile Virgin River Rim Trail passes near the campground and is open to hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding.

The site provides tables, bicycle wash and parking racks and a workspace for self-contained kitchens. Flush and vault toilets are provided and drinking water is piped from a spring. A newly paved road skirts the shoreline of Navajo Lake and leads to Te-ah on the lake's western edge, allowing good access for cars, trailers and bicycles. OHV/ATV's including street legal are not allowed in the campground. Please trailer them in and out of the campground.

No reading yet, book on recreation.gov
recreation.gov lists 41 of the 42 campsites the agency files here. The rest aren’t on its booking system, so a reservation won’t get you one.
No availability snapshot inside the last 36 hours, so this page draws nothing rather than ageing a reading into fiction.

We read recreation.gov once an hour, at 40 minutes past, and write the first time a site in your window is free for the nights you asked for.
Scanners that check every few minutes exist, and most of them charge. This one is free, it reads the same calendar, and it won’t always be first.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rate for this season, $30 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

Toilet distances are OpenStreetMap’s, measured for 42 of the 42 sites listed. A site with no reading is unknown, never far.
The price is derived by CAMPANAC, not published per site: the per-night rate this campground publishes for each site’s own site type. 41 of the 42 sites listed carry one, and a site whose type has no published rate sits out of the price rather than being called free.
