Arrived 2 days early and we were able to dry camp for $20/night before our scheduled reservation.
Wonderful campground with great restrooms, laundry, WiFI and spacious sites. Easy to pay for everything online or Venmo. The hosts/owners go above and beyond. Enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving meal with other campers, neighbors, hosts and their fun family and friends.
Probably be back to celebrate Thanksgiving 2021.

We stayed here at the end of October 2020, when the campground was only about 11 weeks old. The campground has most of the usual amenities, but implemented in a unique way.
Most of the RV sites are crescent-shaped pull-throughs on either side of the main road through the campground, so everyone has plenty of space. There is a separate smaller loop off the main one with small back-in sites for tents and Class B campers. The sites and the road are gravel and fairly level.
Instead of a picnic table, each RV site has a small round patio table and two short upright logs with flat cut tops to serve as seats. There are also no typical fire rings, but you can rent a propane-powered fire cauldron (with its own propane tank) from the office. If you need a refill of your own propane tank, each site comes with a tag that you attach to your tank and then leave it next to the propane refill station, and they will deliver the tank back to your site.
The office doesn’t have a store, but it does have a coffee bar and a covered patio area for outdoor gatherings. During our stay they hosted events on the patio like a hot chocolate bar and a small local farmer’s market. There’s no playground, but a short trail from the office take you to the Dig Pit, where campers can dig for hidden stars that can be traded in for prizes. We had plenty of places to walk the dogs, either along the loop or in the bush-filled fenced-in dog run.
There’s one bathhouse with two nicely decorated bathrooms with showers. There’s a large outdoor sink for washing dishes or dogs, and the back of the building has an open-air laundry area. While the decor of the campground is “recycled rustic”, they make good use of technology: paying for laundry could be done via Venmo or PayPal, and we received alerts about cold weather and campground events via both email and text message. There are WiFi booster towers along the loop to ensure a strong signal throughout the campground: I didn’t use the campground WiFi but I did measure it with a speedtest and got 39Mbps down and 3Mpbs up, with a ping of 13. Cell service was great: I saw download speeds around 50Mbps down and 25Mbps up with my Verizon Jetpack hotspot and MIMO antenna, enough to stream TV with rare stutters. Meanwhile, my AT&T cellphone was getting 55Mbps down and 18Mbps up.
Finally, they take their “Dark Sky” name seriously. There are no light poles in the campground, so it is very dark at night, allowing you to see thousands of stars when the moon isn’t out. The only potential negative to this campground is that there is no shade, which means no respite from the sun during the summer, but that’s not so different from a lot of campgrounds in Utah.

Found this to be a very appealing campground on numerous fronts. This family owned start-up has been very well laid out. Resisting the temptation to cram as many sites as the can, on their property, the owners instead chose to sacrifice number of sites ($$) for much more space giving the campground a state park feel and camping guests open space luxury. Each site has splendid views of red cliff and desert expanse with terrific sunrise/sunset views. The campground adheres to a “dark sky” policy – discouraging those gaudy outdoor awning lights – which provides amazing stargazing. Most site are pull-through gravel reasonably level. Hookups are centrally located on the “street side” so campers are not facing the road. While there are only two bathrooms available (a shortcoming, probably could use two more) the bathrooms are the most beautifully thought out “suites”. Clearly, the Bathrooms are truly the best we have come across in our almost 3 years of full-time RVing. Luxury quality and cleanliness – each bath even has a glass door leading to a private bath patio for that outdoor shower experience. Since this is a new campground, GPS may not show the location correctly, in addition there is presently no signage on HWY 89 to know where exactly to turn. Text or phone the owners for more accurate navigation. Propane sold on site at a very competitive price – probably best for this area. Owners will come out and great you on arrival and offer any assistance you might need as well as good advice for sightseeing the area. Very solid fast WiFi (free) and we got about 14 stations OTA, good Verizon cell. We like to stay a new RV parks to show some support for the start-up business. These folks have done a great job so far, provide outstanding friendly service and I expect they will continue to improve over time.

This place is truly a gem! The owners are very welcoming and easy to communicate with. It is a little outside of town, so very peaceful and quiet, but close enough to easily access everything. The sites are spread out and have beautiful desert views The sites have cocktail tables and you can rent propane fire rings (no regular fire rings). From the check in process (online) to paying for laundry (Venmo or cash option) everything utilized current technology, which was a nice change. We had 4 bars of LTE and the WiFi was the best we have ever had at an RV park. It was easy for us to do work and school from our site. The common area is beautifully decorated and we wish we would have been here when it was a little warmer So we could enjoy it. The bathrooms were really a highlight. Heated floors and so nicely done. We decided we wanted to shower there instead of the RV. Love this place! We definitely hope to return.

For example, there aren't many RV parks where the bathroom ceramic tiles (heated by the way) are as nice as the tiles in my recently remodeled kitchen. The idea of renting gas fire rings is fantastic for those of us who don't have them, and don't care for smokey wood fires. Wonderful stay!

Great family run capsite/RV Park. Just opened August 2020. We have a tear drop and camped in tent area. Big RVs are separate. Cool central area and beautiful bathrooms. They even rigged up a “ice cream truck” and gave out ice cream.

After our previous plans fell through we were set on traveling from Horseshoe Bend to Las Vegas after sunset. Due to a traffic accident in front of us we sat in our van for an hour. I looked for campsites to spend the night but they were all ready closed for the night. Luckily I found Dark Sky! I was able to reserve a site and check in online as easy as could be. We pulled in to our site and fell asleep. In the morning we were able to check out the campsites. It is beautiful. The RVs are separated nicely with full hook ups. The tent sites had nice gravel pads. WiFi is everywhere. And the bathrooms are amazing!! The only slightly negative thing is there are only 2 toilets. (Located in the wonderful bathrooms) so if you just need to use the toilet you have to wait. And there is no seating to wait. Other than that a beautiful Oasis tailored to weary traveler! Also best sunrise ever!
