Great place for camping! DONT FOLLOW GPS IF YOU ARE COMING FROM CEDAR CITY! GO DOWN TO ALMOST MILE MARKER 15. TAKE THE WEBSTER FLATS ROAD TO THE CAMPGROUND. Very clean bathrooms with flush toilets. Very quiet. Away from all the off road vehicle noise. We did the group camp site for our Cub Scout Pack. Wide open areas for the Scout to play in. No designated tent pads. Tent areas are not that flat. I suggest a cot or air mattress. Flag pole unfortunately does not have rope to raise a flag. No pavilions for shade. Bring EZ up canopy with stakes or weights to hold them down just in case. Camp host was very helpful and friendly. Geocache close by for those who like. Trail Head close by that takes you on a 5 mile hike through the forest with aspens and pine trees.
Definitely a hidden gem. We spent our summer as the camp hosts here. Don't take the gps directions though! If it has you turn off at Wood's ranch when you are coming from Cedar City, keep going up hwy 14 about 3 miles until you get to Webster Flats rd. and take a right. Webster Flats is a 2 1/2 mile well maintained dirt road that takes you right to the campground. The gps directions take you down a rutty narrow and pretty bad dirt road that washes out in the rain. There is a group site that you have to reserve online and 10 first come first serve sites available that are for tents or vans only. We saw a bear, a porcupine, wild turkeys, elk and more deer than we could count. The Virgin River trailhead is right across the road as well and takes you through a beautiful aspen grove with some great canyon views.
Very special place that most people don't go to. The camp hosts are friendly and very helpful. They help to make it a perfect retreat for anyone looking to secluded from other busy campsites.
