St George/Hurricane KOA Journey is within easy driving distance to so much, and is a great option as your home base when exploring all that Southwestern Utah has to offer. Within 5 minutes are Red Cliffs Recreation Area, Quail Creek State Park, and Leeds Ghost Town. Just 20-60 minutes from our campground are Zion National Park, several state parks, Tuacahn Amphitheatre, and the towns of St. George, Hurricane, and Cedar City. With 1-2 hours' drive, you could visit 3 national monuments, Bryce National Park and Las Vegas. Within 3 hours are Grand Canyon North Rim and Lake Powell.
Zion National Park needs to be on your bucket list. It's Utah's first National Park and has been the 3rd most visited in the national park system for a decade, at or near 5 million visitors per year. The views are amazing. Hiking experiences can range from desert dry to waist-deep moving water, and from riverside easy to sky-high mortifying. Sunrise, sunset, and stargazing are phenomenal.
The park is open daily, but the visitor center hours vary by season. Visit their website for maps, lists, and initial planning guides, as well as for current conditions once you arrive. Subscribe to their socials to see park tips and FAQs. If you plan to bring your RV through the park, confirm your timing and vehicle size meet the Zion-Mt. Carmel tunnel restrictions. Reservations may be required to hike Angel's Landing, but Zion NP has no entry or timed reservation system.

The recreation area is just a portion of the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve- 69,000 acres northeast of St. George, where the Mojave Desert, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau converge.

Tuacahn Amphitheatre, located northwest of St. George near Snow Canyon State Park, is an entertainment venue for theatrical productions, concerts, and comedy shows. Tuacahn, known as the "Canyon of the Gods," is the largest professional theatre in Utah. It stands apart due to its unique emphasis on the natural beauty of the southwestern Utah landscape as part of the performance. The back of the stage is one side of a sandstone canyon, and the seating is terraced into the facing side. The ceiling is the night sky in an area where there is no light pollution to diminish the brightness of the stars. Worth noting is ShowCare, where infants and children up to age 7 receive care while parents attend a performance.
In addition to offering Broadway in the Canyon, the Center for the Arts is also home to the free Tuacahn Saturday Market, where you will find local artists offering souvenirs and gifts. Get breakfast or lunch from one of the food vendors or at the Café. Eat inside, on the patio, or stretch out on the grass to take in the Market's live entertainment and the Center's breathtaking views.
