With its warm, blue waters and red sandstone landscape, Sand Hollow camping is Utah's newest state park is also one of its most popular. Boat and fish on Sand Hollow Reservoir, explore and ride the dunes of Sand Mountain with an off-highway vehicle, then camp in either the full hookup westside campground, or stay close to the action and ride your OHV from your site to the dunes in the new sandpit campground.
Geography:
A favorite destination for local off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts, Sand Mountain provides 15,000 acres of perfectly sculpted dunes. The red sand is an incredible backdrop for Sand Hollow reservoir. At nearly twice the size of nearby Quail Creek Reservoir, Sand Hollow offers boating and other water recreation in a spectacular setting.
Recreation:
Sand Hollow already one of the most visited destinations in the Utah State Park system, with recreation opportunities for nearly every user from boaters to bikers, and OHV riders to equestrians.
Facilities:
Three campground areas ranging from full hookups to standard camping.
From Interstate 15 take the Hurricane Exit (#16). Travel east on Hwy 9 for about four miles to Sand Hollow Road and turn right. Travel south for about three miles and turn left at the park entrance.
I love it here it is a good place to boat, jet ski, swim, cliff jump,and more. I love boating here and swimming here. great for kids. Dogs are allowed. Good for family trips.if you do not have a boat you can find one before you go. There is a website not sure what it is called. but me and my family do this all the time.
We had a great time camping this past weekend at the Lakeview Campground. The facilities were clean and well kept.
Our spot had partial hookups with water and electrical, and was spacious, not too close to other sites, flat and close to the lake.
We also had a blast cruising the nearby trails in the side by side. It was an quick ride from the campsite to everywhere we wanted to go. We’re planning on making this an annual thing!
Awesome place to enjoy every activity. We are from Northern Utah, so the fact that we are able to spend a whole day on the water is a blast. We were able to enjoy cliff jumping (which was so great because of the huge amount of water this last year), we also got a 9 square and bunch of paddle boards and AN INFLATABLE TRAMPOLINE from a rental store (Called Mort’s Rentals) in Utah Valley!!! Such a blast!!
This was a very fun state park. The water is gorgeous and a great temperature. There are lots of places to fish, and it's a great place for boating. There are some places to play in the sand and on the rocks. There's also a great biking path.
The park was easy to find. It is located north of St. George Utah near Hurricane. There is pavement all the way including interior roads. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly. The rules are fairly basic and Mister Ranger patrols to make sure they are followed..
Our site, 16, was a pull thru that was plenty long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp and water only) were to the left side. Distancing is great even for a rural park. Each site has an aluminum table on a concrete patio under a sun shade. There was also a fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was clean and tidy .
There is NO park included wifi or cable TV. We did find a few OTA channels. Satellite will not be difficult. We did not use the washrooms or showers but we checked and found them clean.
There are OHV trails from the park as well as OHV rentals, Boats, Personal Water Craft, Kayak and Canoe rentals on site.
There are no restaurants or stores within walking distance but just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores in Hurricane. We found this park to be a great place to relax and enjoy ourselves. Jeeping the sand was awesome We paid $46.60 per night including tax and we feel we received fair value. We will be back if in the area again.
