Snow Canyon State Park announces campground closure

Snow Canyon State Park will begin a campground repaving project on May 31 with an expected completion date of June 30. The project will consist of resurfacing the campground road system and expanding the electric power infrastructure. The entire campground and associated restroom facilities will be closed during this period. Access to park headquarters will also be impacted on select dates during this project. Campers are encouraged to explore Sand Hollow and Quail Creek State Parks as possible alternatives.

Snow Canyon is named after early Mormon settlers Lorenzo and Erastus Snow. It was designated as a Utah State Park in 1958. The park is normally open all year and contains 35 campsites for tents and RVs below 35 feet. The day-use fee is $6, and hikers and bikers may obtain annual passes for $24. More information on Utah State Park camping facilities is available at stateparks.utah.gov.

For more information on the project, contact park staff at (435) 628-2255.
