About This Campground
Camping in Gunlock State Park is special. Gunlock Reservoir is secluded and sits in a natural bowl along the Santa Clara River west of St George, UT. Although it is not far from St George, it has the feel of being out on its own, and wild. The camp sites are all within a short, easy walk from the water. At night, the sky goes on forever, and you can see all the stars. Give Gunlock camping a try and you’ll be dreaming of going back!
