The Mitt Moody sites range from being tucked away in the hillside to one that overlooks a nearby stream. All items need to be packed in by foot via a short walking trail. Parking is limited to one vehicle per site. The trailhead for the Pine Valley Canal Trail and the Santa Clara River Trail begin from this loop. The Mitt Moody loop offers a more secluded primitive camping experience compared to the other loops in the Pine Valley Recreation Area. Facilities 2 single walk-in tent sites (up to 8 people) 1 double site (up to 16 persons) Drinking water (Memorial Day-Labor Day) Vault toilets No garbage disposal, please pack it out
From St. George, Utah, take Utah Highway 18 north to Central. Turn right on Forest Road 35 and follow that to Pine Valley. Turn left on Pine Valley's Main Street, which leads to Pine Valley Recreation Area after about three miles.
Really nice. Except the spiders 🕷 AAAAHHH ! But it was cool.
Beautiful, clean, smoke free, pet friendly, walking trails, relaxing. Perfect getaway
So this is actually from the Ebenezer Bryce Campground, but they're run by the same site host and are just a stones throw from each other. We saw deer near both campgrounds and both campgrounds are right by hiking trails. Mitt Moody is more reclusive and needs to be walked into while the Ebenezer sites have parking on site but are separated enough to not be bothered by your neighbors. Both campgrounds are not suitable for trailers/rvs.
I can't say enough about how amazing this area is! Every interaction with a park worker was so welcoming and friendly! It was our site host's day off, but even then she still went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of. The site was $21 for the night and they sell wood bundles for $7 each. I highly recommend site #8. We were right by the river and could hear the soft rushing of the water harmonize with the wind in the trees all night. There's a water spigot conveniently across the road and the restroom is next door but at a nice distance.
That said, I was absolutely astonished at the cleanliness of the restroom! I've never been in a camp restroom that didn't smell or feel gross but this one was just pristine!
The site itself was also perfectly clean as we drove up! There's a framed area for tent placement that had been raked and prepared and even the firepit just had very fine ash in it instead of trash or remnants.
We just slept in the back of our crossover SUV, but it would've been great for tent camping as well. Again, I can't speak highly enough of this place! Absolutely perfect camping trip for a night! I only wish we'd had more time to stay like the site hosts kept welcoming us to do!
#6 was a beautiful group site so secluded from everyone. It’s a walk up site so definitely bring a wagon. It’s probably 100 feet from the parking spot. We were next to the creek and it sounded so peaceful at night. Surprisingly it was pretty cold at night and we went the third week of June. There were a ton of little gnats and bugs though when we first got there. I would recommend bringing a zapper or deterrent so they’re not flying in your space. It wasn’t too far of a drive to the lake. Definitely no reception there unless you leave the park. They do have a store right outside the park with ice cream and a steak house. Restrooms weren’t that much further than your parked car.
