Sand Hollow State Park

AMAZING I can not wait to get back here this place is phenomenal. The hosts at sand pit kept site and restrooms clean the showers were very nice and not so overcrowded you couldnt get in. the variety of activities as well made this memorable

Beautiful scenery, warm water, sandy beaches amazing sand dunes! Camp sites book out quickly, summer time beaches get full, but the park does a great job of clothing the entrance if they get close to capacity. Lots of utv trails!!

This place offers a great combination of sand and rock crawling for off-road and a lake for aquatic sports and leisure. Theres not many places that offer this many options so close together.

Cool Place..you can hike,camp and rent jet skins. While we were there, we found a quiet spot with a picnic table rite by the water. Which was really warm, with nice soft sand. My girls really had a good time here. There is so much to do..we definitely will have to come back!

Recommend? Yes if you’re in the area.The shore here has red sands. Some parts along the sands have rough branches and moss so be careful. Along the parking lot is a launch pad and across the lake is where you will find the sand. You can drive your car down to the sand on certain parts. Please just make sure your car can handle it.The water is pretty nice because it’s blue waters over red sand so it does create this pretty ombre.I wouldn’t come here just for the beach.

One of the most beautiful reservoirs ive been to! Surrounded by red rock and soft sand. It was the perfect boating/side by side destination. I was so worried about swimmers itch but I washed off well and wasnt affected. The water feels amazing, the grounds are clean, definitely worth the visit

Nice quiet place to camp. Very nice sites and spread out. Full hookups. Close to National parks, Hurricane and St. George.

First time here last week. LOVED it. Get a bit crowded but theres PLENTY of space for everyone. Looks very magical. Like a lake in planet mars. Go and enjoy it. Worth it 100%.

I went here on what would have been my sons 19th birthday. (He passed away when he was 12.) I arrived approx 1 hr before park closed for day use. The ranger at the gate told me the cost for day use pass and that there was only one hour left to use it. I explained it was worth it and told why I was there. When I went to hand her the money, she shook her head, handed me a pass, and gave me directions to where I would want to go once inside. Her kindness touched me and brought warmth to me on a difficult day. I wish that I had caught her name so that I could thank her, again, and let her know how much that simple act of kindness meant to me.Inside the park, I went to one of the incredibly soft, red sand beaches. The sun was setting. I snapped a couple of pics of sunset and walked down to waters edge. I met a group of teenagers and gave them the remainder of the glow sticks I had and headed out.As I left I concluded that the beauty and tranquility of this place was matched only by the kindness and beauty of the strangers I met here. I intend to return in the future and experience all that this park had to offer.

Highlights:- A great place to spend the day if youre in the area.- At the gate entry, ask them to point you to where you can jump off the rocks.Since we had a few extra days in Zion National Park, we decided to search around for interesting places to visit and see. We heard about Sand Hollow State Park and decided to check it out. WOW! This is definitely a great place to visit. Its almost like they have something for everyone. You can hang out and chill on the beach, rent some equipment to go into the water, ride dune buggies in the sand, and in one area, there are some rocks where you can jump off in the lake ( 15 feet).The only gripe about this place was that we went on a busy day and you can sorta smell the gas fumes from the boats in the water.Overall, if were in the area next time, I would visit again.

The sand is very soft and bright red, which adds to its beauty and charm. It is a smaller lake but big enough to boat or jet ski on. Next time I think we will bring a pop up for shade and some RC cars for the kids who arent on a paddle board or jet ski.

One of our favorite activities when we’re in St. George. We bring an umbrella and post up on a beach area for a day of fun. We found a great cliff jumping spot this last time, it was awesome! And great weather first weekend in October.

A beautiful place where you can camp with an RV you can go boating on the river or paddle boarding. We did a day pass and enjoyed the water. There is even an area to cliff jump on the rocks. They even have places for ATV riders!

Absolutely a fantastic Park. Adventures everywhere. Trails are well labeled. If you want to get yourself in trouble you can. There’s always a bypass/most of the time.

Love this state park. Spacious sites, full hook ups and beautiful views. Easy drive to Zion National Park.

Amazing place to play and fish! We camped here for a few nights and it was very nice. Wish they had a few trees so there was more shade. Great beaches! Overcrowded on weekends!

We found this beautiful Reservoir just outside of Hurricane while staying in the area for our trip to Zion National Park. Some of the best water to swim, kayak and snorkel! Clear beautiful water. Nice sandy beaches. Well worth the $20 day pass! Looking forward to going back!

This place was really spectacular. So unexpected to see the bright blue lake in the middle of the red sand desert. Highly recommend to rent the ATV and go off-roading. We got ours from Mad Moose. They were great. So much fun!

Incredible place to play in sand and water, the kids wanted to stay ALL day! We were pleased to find this little gem of a State Park, would definitely go back if we didn’t didn’t already have a whole list of places to see while we are in SW Utah.

Sooooo beautiful, water moved really far back from the last time I visited but still sooo worth the 2 1/2 hour drive.

Such an awesome and amazing place to ride!!! So much variety in terrain, epic landscapes, a lake, and so much more.

Pretty cool location that offers many things to do.Dunes - You have a huge area to ride Rzr, Can Am, or Jeeps with some good trails.Lake - Decent size lake to bring out a boat, paddle, or just chill lakeside.RV Camping - Full hook up sites available with nice picnic areas, but no shades so it can be hot out.Staff - They seem prettt chill and nice.Its cool out here but some people can be dirty and leave trash lakeside. Its also fun watching all the trucks getting stuck and watching them getting towed out lol.Overall chill state park.

Its really a simple place not very big and you need to bring your own stuff, there is rentals available of various water craft and flotation devices. Also RV or tent camping too i went in late August and there was alot of algea in the water, but the water was a very nice temperature it wasnt cold at all.

Great place, but what the heck is it?! I think they just dumped a ton of water in a hole and convinced people to buy boats. It was very nice to escape the Utah heat in these waters and we were able to guzzle down special drinks with no issue. Be sure to hydrate ;)No need to bring a towel! This place is toasty.

It was our first experience. Very nice, not crowded. The sand was so nice.A couple of pickup trucks got stuck in the sand. So watch out!One day visit $20 for my car.I will be back for sure.

We loved it!! Theres something for everyone - water for fishing, swimming, kayaking, boating, etc. along with a lot of places to ride with all sorts of types such as dune riding and rock crawling alike. Well definitely be back!

It was a great area to visit! The campground with full hookups was one of the best that weve used. We spent 2 nights there and 3 nights dry camping. Wish we could have stayed at the campground the whole time!

Beautiful view and clear water! my family loves coming here to swim and cliff jump! a good place for families but might be a little hard for little kids.

This place is beautiful that’s for sure. I’m giving it one star because the lake has some dangerous areas and they should have life guards around in case of an emergency, however there’s not a single one. In case of an emergency, you can certainly die at this place. About 2 weeks ago, I was there at the area behind the cliff. There’s this part that you can clearly see rocks under the water and it seems like it’s a shallow area. I sled on moss and fell on the water, and almost died. It took 3 men to try to save me. The first one wasn’t able to do it, the second was able to rescue me when I was already getting unconscious, but to take me out of the water he had to push me over the rocks, which would have been impossible for just him alone to do it. Thank God there was a gentleman standing on the rock and helped me to climb it up, otherwise I don’t know if I’d be here to write this review. I can just say those were terrible moments. It was an accident that I fell and almost drawn, however this park fails in not having prepared personal or life guards watching over for their clients. Considering the fact that they charge for people come in, they should definitely provide a safe environment to attendees.

The water is so nice! There are sandy beaches to relax on and rocks to climb. We didnt use it, but theres a launching place for boats. I would recommend bringing flotation devices for anyone who isnt a strong swimmer. There were two incidents where a friend and I had to rescue adults from drowning on their way to the island in the middle of the lake. Have fun, and be safe!

Great park, $20 to get in for non resident buy was worth it. Had a great day. They have camping, hookups for RVs. Very nice

We just stopped by to look at it. From the looks of the boat trailer parking lot it must get really crowded during the summer. Its a beautiful area, I think it would be great for swimming and water sports. The day we stopped by, it was very windy so there were not so many boats out.

Beautiful. Nice beaches. Good fishing. Its almost always windy, so theres that. It can get pretty crowded so get there early to get a good spot. They say the water can make you itchy, and I think the hotter it is, the worse it becomes, so bring some good sunscreen to help protect your skin from the sun and water and bring hydrocortisone or some skin cream for rashes.

So much fun and not too far from Las Vegas. We took the whole family and rented a jet ski and paddle boards. Everyone had a blast! The red sand beach is super soft. It was the perfect family day.

Loved this park. We enjoyed our time and will be coming back for more as we couldnt get enough of all you can do there

What a beautiful lake, beautiful beach, fabulous dunes.So so camping spots. Need shade trees planted, so in future years they will be part of the quality there.The State Park manager, Johnathan Hunt, is always striving to make this a better place to come to, and to work at.

We had 2 full days of play and didnt want to stop! Playground for all levels of experience to explore! Looking forward to going back!

Kids had a great time playing in the sand, in the water, and on the Kayak. Water temperature was perfect and so was the weather. Definitely going to go again!

The water here is perfect for prolonged swimming! The water temperature the day we were there was 76. It was super hot outside so that was the perfect temperature to feel comfortable hanging out all day. Don’t even bother showing up without a canopy because the sun will fry you and the sand will scald the bottom of your feet without shoes. With those things, would highly recommend this reservoir.

Always seems to be windy here. Warm water and lots of sand! Build a sand castle, drive your ATV on a trail, paddle board or kayak, bring a boat or other watercraft. There is a lot of country to explore here.

I thought $10.00 per person for the day just to get in was a bit stiff, however, after 4 hours driving around taking some nice photos made me reconsider and I am sure to return. Camp sites both with and without amenities combined with a restaurant and watercraft and atv rentals make for some diverse activities. All in all well worth visiting.

Must visit! Cliff jumping is awesome! Approx 35ft jump from highest point! Very busy don’t go after 12 you won’t get parking! For rentals reserve at B.A.S.H at sand hallows. Expect long lines

Beautiful park offering a variety of activities. Beautiful reservoir! If I ever miss the waters of the Pacific NW, I come here. Awesome red sand, too. Its like walking on mars! Love this park!

Beautiful area, views and drive up 4x4 lakeside access on the South End, windy today but was able to SUP on the North end.

This is a great state park. Fairly new to park standards. Clean nice water and great rocks to jump into the water. Get there early because they close the park at about 11:00 because of capacity.

Great state beach / lake. $15 fee for day use entrance. No rentals onsite but there are a couple of places nearby that rent boats, jetski, kayaks. Some of the places offer delivery to the boat ramp so that makes it convenient. This beach is clean and the water is perfect for swimming. There is a place to jump off boulder which looked fun.

Amazing place to go for the day only $10 for the day. My dogs can run and play. Water is perfect temperature. They have boating, jet skiing, sand buggy rentals. I would recommend to anyone.

Dont forget your helmets, flags and water! Fantastic riding!!!

Really fun cliff jumping spot! You don’t need a boat or kayak to access it. Park at the end of the main parking lot and there’s a trail with a 5 minute walk. Definitely for older kids and adults. Here’s our 10 year old doing a front flip!

I can recommend this place to anyone we had a great time

Lake was great me and my family had a blast. only one issue when i was at the front gate i was asked if i was a local or not i am not so she gave me an attitude like i did something wrong. Really made me and my family feel not welcome.

I love Sand Hollow. It is a super fun Lake and recreation place. We are from out of town and have been many times. Weather it was to finish, kayak, or just hang out we have always had a great time. If you haven’t had a chance to kayak here go pick some new kayaks up at the Lifetime Store and head out to enjoy the water. You won’t regret it.

Great place.Rented a boat and went tubing and swimming for a couple of hours.The cliff jumping was pretty epic!!!Not sure what people were saying about the swimmers itch because nobody in my group got it.

Beautiful location. Great water. We jumped off the cliffs and loved it. Great day in the water. Paid $15 for a day pass that only lasted till 10 PM. Not even 24 hours. Great other than that.

Beautiful lake! Best beach in Utah. Love to kayak here. You can also fish for bass, ski and use PWC. Plus Sand Mountain for ATVs! Rentals available. Heaven.

Great place to just hang out or play on the water! Parking was great and we didnt have to work too hard to find a spot.

Wonderful views tons of fun for the whole family. And check out the Beach rental shop. They have good pricing on rentals for all toys and guided tours. And a heck of a kitchen. The staff is awesome and goes out of their way to make your trip special. Definitely stop by!

I love it! There’s a place you can go cliff jumping but if you’re looking for a relaxing day at the lake go to the beach by the BASH

I love taking my inflatable kayak out there and enjoying lunch on the water or one of the Red Rock islands. Beautiful desert country!!

Really gorgeous with some super fun AVT rentals and lake stuff to keep busy with!

This snow shack is the best one one town, granted I think there is only 2 in town, but this one is better of the two. Its cheaper they give you more, they give more ice cream in middle, and they use more syrup for better flavor. Reminds me of hawaii.

$15 per car entry fee. We rented jet skis which was really fun. It was a gorgeous lake with silky red sand. If its windy at all, I definitely recommend going another day. It was pretty windy when we went and it put a little damper on things. The park was well kept and beautiful though!

Sand Hollow State Park, Hurricane UtahRed rock and red sand meet warm, blue water at this state park, which is one of the most popular in Utah. ATV trails run over sand dune access to Sand Mountain in the park, and additional trails are located nearby. This is a great place to camp, picnic, hike, boat, fish and ride jet ski’s or ATVs.

The Camp host was Awesome!!! We love this place and we will be coming back

Beautiful, clean, very quiet. Really enjoyed our stay. Close to 4x4 trails. GreT for kids to rin around.

Was having a great trip in Utah until we went to the park I did not notice on the receipt it says no refunds if you get swimmers itch they could’ve been more explaining when I gave them my $20 my fault I did not read the small print. now I have a rash all over and the pharmacy in town says many people are getting it there thanks a lot Sand Hollow !

Really nice place 10 out of 10 recomendMe and my family had fun

Good place for riding atvs in the sand dunes. Sandpit campsites are just a place to park with no hook ups. Kind of barren. We moved to the other campsite with full hook ups and were very pleased. Got lucky they had a site.

Great park. So much to do. Very crowded. Camping avail but seemed limited due to pandemic.

Oasis, so nice I loved it, also they have picnic tables so makes it better to place your belongings and food you bring in. They also have a tore where you can purchase all kinds of stuff from food to towels and snacks.

Absolutely amazing. Fun place and the water is so clear. Great for swimming and boating and fishing. Lots of stuff to do.

We love it, family from California come visit us when summer comes at least twice a month just so we can spend time at sand hollow park ...I recommend bringing your own canopy or umbrella because it is hot about 90 degrees f° and above 35 degrees in Celsius . Also bring plenty of snacks and drinks with you youll regret it If you dont, Since youll want to spend at least 3 to 4 hours in and out of the water.

This was one of our greatest finds while visiting St. George. The park and it’s waters are pristine! It wasn’t overly crowded even on an extremely hot day of 105 degrees. The water was a beautiful blue and so clean. The sand was red like the rocks which was so different then we’re used to on the East Coast. I highly recommend making the stop!

Nice man made lake with clear water.Water sports rental available.Usually a bunch of people cliff diving on hot days.Price to get in went from $5 in 16 to $20 in 4 years!

We camped overnight at Sand Hollow State Park. Its a very nice facility with great showers and beautiful views! It was very quiet! They have a place to rent four wheelers and I think boats. We didnt have time to do that, but it sounded fun and was a great opportunity!

Very crowded on the weekends. Sometime it becomes full and the entrance closes until it clears out.. Water gets clouding for scuba. The water is much clearer and calmer during the week.

We only got to experience the beach but It was very relaxing. The shop is convenient for supplies and rentals.Although the beach had a bit of trash here and there - We still enjoyed how fine the red sand was.We noticed the red sand is heavier than normalSand so it quickly floats to the bottom. This makes it for very clear water.

Slot of people on the weekend. Get there early for great spot. 4 wheel drive seems necessary to drive to lake side. Slot of people getting stuck in soft sand.

Great view, clean sites. Fit my 39 ft toyhauler. Water and power.

Clear water. Wasnt overly crowded. Clean bathrooms. Little shop with snacks and rentals

We were driving through on our way to Vegas, and decided to stop by and check it out. Entrance fee was $20. If we were to spend a day there, that would have been really worth it. Since we spent no more than an hour there, we felt there wasn’t enough to see to have to pay a fee.

Currently waiting, and have been for 30 minutes for a handyman to show up, he won’t be here for another hour....at 1140pm. The park power pole keeps throwing the breaker with a reverse polarity on our surge protector. It’s hot and we are so lucky we did not leave our dogs in the camper, or we wouldn’t have dogs anymore. Additionally our camper is now infested with ants thanks to this site. Swimmers itch and Cyanobacteria in the water kept us from doing anything in the lake. When I called to talk to the park staff about the electricity issue, they didn’t even say sorry....offer a refund...nothing. Stay somewhere else!

One of the best state parks Ive been to. Great views of the rea as well as the reservoir and the beach. Clif jumping is a great attraction.

I dive Sand Holliw quite often. Theres lots of fun to be had at this lake.

Refreshing water! Beautiful views. Public restrooms across the street!

Ive been driving trucks since 1991. This park is the most beautiful place Ive been to.

The place is great prepare for a $15 entry.The only problem yesterday there was lots anf lors of wind it was impossible to just stand with all the sand coming towards you.Once you were in the lake it was just water and it wasnt that cold but still a lot of wind.They should tell the visitors about wind and other possible things to happen before entry.

Great place to be. The water is clean and sand is great. It is $15 per car to get in but it is so worthy. 100% recommended.

Able to rent water toys, dune buggies here. Convenient state park in Hurricane. Staff is friendly and prepared to come rescue you of needed because you got lost or stuck in the sand pits. Buggy riding was challenging and a hoot!

Head out to the flattest part of the lake. Great for kids and adults! Lake on this side was nice to relax in and no worries about it being too deep, especially for me who does not know how to swim, lol! Hours of fun for my 8 and 10 year old kiddos.

Great place. Beach was very busy and pretty littered. Lots of aggressive drivers in big trucks and razors.

Short drive from Vegas awesome little get away. Super clean and it feels like you get away from everything. Pet friendly, family friendly and if you want to try to cliff dive this is the place great you can work from low to high jumps. Boats and paddle boating is also big fun actives here.

Lovely day here with my fiance who I proposed to here in the middle of the lake! Awesome spot for cliff jumping in the middle of the lake. We lucked out and it was a cooler day. We rented a 2 person paddle board from BASH which was awesome!

Had a great time on the water, even though it was showing 54 degrees in the water. The boat launch is wide and easy to launch/trailer a boat.

SxS Adventure Rally was awesome.

Loved this stop on family vacation! Bathrooms vs out houses = NICE! Lots of choices for couples or families. The outdoor shower is a bonus but be aware if water temperature is above 70°, there is something in the water that makes kids itch. Not usually an issue for the adults though. Also overheard bodywash removes itch & that the waistband in boys swim trunks should be washed thoroughly. Hope the awareness helps

The place was beautiful and the staff was polite for the most part. I did witness Shelly in the front office belittling an employee with no regard of customers on looking... very awkward.

Nice place for a day by the water, great kayaking spots, water is somewhat clean depending on where you go but the further you stay from the ramps the better if you just want to relax by the water. Great outdoor activities to explore, ATVs for rent as well. Place could use a little more upkeep but overall a great destination.

I came here and rented a boat. I had some issues with that experience, but the State Park is nice. It has a scuba diving area, lots of beach, and unique red sands. The lake itself isnt very large. There was a lot of construction when we were there.
