We camped in the Red Cliffs Recreation Area which is about 20 miles north of St George. We were fortunate to get camping spots close to the water spigot and the "vault toilets". Most people wouldn't want to be so close to the glorified port-a-potties but since we have little kids who wanted us to accompany them to "the hole" we saved a lot of walking because we were so close.
The weather was a bigger issue then the forecast had predicted. On the drive down on Wednesday night we encountered 5 snow storms, 3 of which were whiteouts and forced us to drive by braille (using the rumble strip to keep us on the road) since even the painted road lines were invisible. By the time we made it to Utah's Dixie the snow turned to rain, which we had at some point each day exept the day we left, of course.
All in all the kids had a great time and that's all the matters. Since my nieces and nephews entertained my kids, it gave me a chance to enjoy myself too.
But the best part of camping is coming home and enjoying a nice long hot shower and crawling into a soft bed.

there's nothing like that first shower and sleep after camping.
And I think that cousins may be the only way to make camping enjoyableat all, when you have little ones.
