This place has once again gone downhill. Two years ago, the entire resort was pristine. Everything was clean and well kept. Now, not so much. Even the pool itself is one step above disgusting. For a fresh water pool, there is no reason they should not be draining this and cleaning it and not allowing mold to build up!! I was there all day and didn't see a single employee check the pool ONCE. The Lava Grill is the food source. It's priced like a restaurant but the food is...well, made by teenagers. And snarky, rude ones at that! $12 for 3 kids' cones? Nope. Not again. I guess I'm wishing for the days of the ORIGINAL owners (the Cottam family). THIS Veyo Resort is a far cry from the days when it was operated by Mel and Eddie. If they were back, I might continue my once a week trip to Veyo pool, but with the outlandish prices and lackadaisical hygiene standards of the new management, I think I'll keep it to once a year. If that. read more

The place is beautiful and I want to go back but the manager,Emma, made the experience HORRIBLE ABSOLUTELY A BAD ATTITUDE towards my whole family after we only were nice to her. She said we were breaking every rule she had and fined us. The manager set us up so she could exploit us. I hope the future guest at veyo never have to meet her I suggest they re train or fire her so family's can enjoy the canyon with out a hostile employee. read more

Would put 0 if I could , me and my family stayed here over the weekend , we were threatened about our noise level although other campsites were being just as loud if not louder, felt like we were being discriminated against even though we made proper reservations and did not break any rules directly. Although the campsite itself was nice , the experience with the owner and the threatening manner I would not recommend going here or ever coming back. Even one of the members in our group was approached in an aggressive manner when taking her child to go take a shower If you want to be discriminated and threatened for having fun while camping go here ! read more

Wow. I don't get why anyone would give this place anything less than 5 stars as it is exactly what it promises to be. My apologies, this review is going to be long because I love this place! I drive up from Henderson, Nv with the kids in the summer because our pools here are full of chlorine & smog & chemtrail fallout Our skin is gross when you dry off! But this pool - it's nearly chemical free! I spoke with Manager Ariel and she checks it 4x a day and they only adds chemicals if needed. Full of volcanic spring water that's the perfect temperature, it comes into the pool in the upper 70's and constantly flows out into the creek below. There's even a shower and changing room. Be sure to bring or buy goggles for the little ones as the people who built it were incredibly thoughtful and added glass blocks with butterflies and dollars and such hidden into the pool itself!. I won't go into the Crawdad catching as other reviews have but let's just say kids of all ages get a kick out of it. Want to talk food? On a budget? You're welcome to bring your own. This however is my mini vacation and I can say the burgers are way better than most fast food places - the onion rings? To die for and that Veyo Pie milkshake never disappoints, again it is exactly what they promise and more! They take an actual slice of pie and mix it into the ice cream and I'm guessing to make up for the other review about the lack of crust it now comes with a pretty sugared crust square on top. Yes, if it's crowded there is going to be a wait for your food. This is not a fancy restaurant! What it is is a pool side snack bar, obviously with teens cooking - and may I add they are always very polite and helpful. If your budget allows you can purchase the no brainer refillable cups that are good for the season and open a tab so the kids can order what they want when they want. Stress fee and no reason for kids to whine, just the way this momma likes it! Let's talk rock climbing! (Read in granny voice) Back in my day we climbers from Vegas were told we weren't "real" climbers and were spoiled to climb day in and day out on our forgiving sandstone. We had to fix that so we jumped in the car & went in search of "real climbs" Crawdad Creek provided us with the volcanic rock experience. Sharp, unforgiving & with the occasional chuckwalla surprise it was very different but we fell in love with the beautiful creek that ran through the canyon that provided at least one climb in the shade anytime of the day. Belay ankle deep from in a creek?! Oh yeah! I noticed this summer some climbs are even named & graded with signs. Now, keep in mind it was nearly 20 years ago that I was actually in a harness so by all means check the bolts, check the weather, do like we did back in the day and take responsibility for your safety into your own hands. I shouldn't have to say this but if you're going to climb the only other person you should trust is your partner holding the rope. It's not the sites fault or even mother nature's if you're not smart enough to take the weather into consideration. (Hence, the waver?) Anyhow I hope you have a beautiful day at my "secret" pool. Just do me a favor & don't go there right when they open on a Monday morning please, I like it to myself for a bit! read more

We have visited this place a few times and it never disappoints! The pool is clean and fun. The little cafe is good. The campground was awesome. Would highly recommend as a little family/friend getaway! read more

Love this place!! My family found this place road tripping and found this place. We arrived way past the latest check in time and they accommodated us so nicely. Since it was dark they gave us a closer campsite and were very responsive answering our questions even until 10:30 pm! When we got here we saw how beautiful this spot is! Very family friendly and is a total hidden gem. We definitely would like to come back and will be recommending to others!! read more

nice pool. the real highlight is catching crawdads. our kids would eat that up!! Camping is fun, too. Plus, you can't beat the scenery of southern Utah! read more

we recently visited for our first time! so beautiful and fun, we climbed a few routes then rinsed off and relaxed in the pool.

I am blown away that they took our money and allowed us to "camp" and "climb" in the canyon. The canyon recently had a very large flood which has destroyed much of the camping and the access to many of the climbs. Also the recent rains caused ALL of the climbs to be seeping water. We were not told the amount of damage before paying to camp and climb in the canyon. I feel sorry for the owners because it will likely be years before the canyon is in a safe enough condition to allow people in the canyon, I just hope they stop allowing people into the canyon until it is safe. The camping areas are destroyed and covered with silt, thankfully we were able to sleep in our truck. read more

Went for "Southern Utah's Largest Easter Egg Hunt". I was hopeful from the ad, but let say I feel bad for my children! There was no organization. If you have ever seen World War Z, (the zombies) may give you an idea of what it was like. If you're reading this and you were there, then you know. The groups were split I had a 3 year old and 6 year old both in different age groups. You were shuffled through a 4 foot gate to the are the eggs were. If you were lucky enough to be in the front, then you probably got some eggs. The three year old one took forever to get started. When they did start it, it was just parents in the front with their kids. The kids were not asked to be moved to the front. Let me tell you they warn you, you may get a little wet. But what they mean is if you want to get eggs be prepared to wade across the creek to get to the bank so you may have a chance of getting some eggs for your child. My 6 year old went next. This is were the true carnage started. Kids were stealing eggs out of my sons basket. Both my son and I ended up wet, cold, scraped, and bleeding I am not exaggerating! They definitely need to get some more organization! Might I also recommend you don't separate the 5 year olds from their parents when there is running water near by! read more

Growing up my parents would always bring us here every summer from Las Vegas and we have never been disappointed. After 5 years of not being able to follow tradition i finally made it back with my fiancé to show her where i want to bring our future children & she loved it. It is perfect for everyone in the family and they offer great burgers and other deserts. Id recommend reserving site #7 and dont leave without trying the volcano pie shake ! read more

Veyo Pool Resort - Resorts Near Me - Veyo, Utah

We love coming to Veyo pool but our visit yesterday was extremely over crowded. The pool was over packed and there was no room at all to put our stuff. We waited over an hour for our food. I understand it's a small kitchen but they should have informed us it would have been that long. read more

Dropped in because we heard the shakes were really good but after waiting 40 minutes for 1 volcano shake and 2 corn dogs (after they messed up on several orders before ours ) we finally received our mediocre food. I would not recommend this place to anybody. read more

Had an interesting day use of the pool situation. Dropped in today - Was told the pool is not opening to the public this year until 5/19 - Construction on-going and a high school out reach camp has the place booked. After my sad story they let me in anyway ! Super great folks - New owners dropping some serious coin to catch up on 20 years of deferred maintenance. "Moss" gave me some neat history of the location and future plans. Hope to be back soon - weekends might be too crazy though -) read more

I came down here back in 2004 with a University of Utah climbing class and loved it! Decided to check it out again after all these years with some friends. The place looks a lot cleaner and more updated. guess there are new owners. Looks great! The rock climbing is fantastic and we loved swimming in the natural warm spring pool. They let us rent out the pool area after hours for a private party. Food is also really good. We loved the pie shakes and honey bacon burgers! Highly recommended!!! read more

Great place for the day, spent at the pool. They have done almost t here to make it better. Love the free WiFi, and the food at the counter. My family had a great time. read more

the manager was yelling at customers the lava sauce had mold and the burger gave me food poisoning

The staff were very nice but this was not what we expected. The RV camping "sites" are the overflow parking lots. We knew there were no hookups but thought we'd have a little more privacy. It worked out ok because it was not too busy. We had planned on eating at the grill but were not aware it didn't open until May. A fun weekend getaway and we will have to visit again when it's a bit warmer. read more

We love going to Veyo Pool. It's our favorite family activity every year. We're thrilled the new owners are keeping it open to the public and remodeling the property. Our kids love catching crawdads in the river and playing in the canyon as well as swimming in the pool. We always make it a full day activity because there's so much to do. Don't miss out on their pronto pups and new pie shakes, our favorite! read more

Called to ask about their dog policy and was told as long as our dog was off the trails and the rock climbing it was ok. We drove all the way from California only to be yelled at by a nasty old man. He yelled at us about a truck that was not ours then told us to get out with our dog. Later two teenagers came and told us we could leave our dog in the car (it was about 95 degrees) or leave him in a kennel they had up the road. Then they said if we had a crate he could stay in there. We went to the store by the pool and asked the woman there if it was ok if we tied our dog instead. At this point she said no dogs no exceptions even if he was in a crate. I asked for a refund since it was them who gave me wrong information over the phone. She said "Oh no we don't give refunds" they wouldn't take responsibility for their giving me wrong information. I was told that I would be escorted out if I didn't get my dog out. Super rude and inconsiderate. They weren't even willing to work with us. AVOID THIS PLACE AND THEIR RUDE AND INCOMPETENT STAFF AT ALL COSTS!!!!! read more

Our family has such a great time camping, hiking, swimming, and crawdad fishing every year! Our kids look forward to this trip every year--even as teens. New ownership has not changed the tradition and have made it even better with upgraded bathroom space and warm showers!! Thank you for allowing us to carry on our annual tradition at Veyo Pool Resort. read more

We used to come here for Easter picnics years ago. The kids could swim while the adults chatted at their lovely picnic tables. This year, we planned a whole family vacation around this for nostalgic reasons - a 4 hour drive with hotel costs and other logistics required. The website states it opens May 1st, 12 pm - 8 pm, however, it turns out...the whole place is closed and no message is listed on their line. We spent the day cooking a picnic and everything. I get that it's a small, locally owned business, but come on! Severely disappointed. read more

We had been going to Crawdad Canyon for 15 years. We climbed and used the pool. With the new owners the camping prices more than tripled, while not offering services that would justify this price increase. There's now a mandatory "Canyon Fee" of $9.50 for each person, whether you hike or use the pool, or just camp. Camping was $40 a night for a holiday weekend - steeper than any other full-service camping place. Open fires are not allowed now - you must rent a fire pit. For this price increase I would expect big differences - not additional fees and high initial cost. Count us out of future trips. Morris is probably rolling in his grave. read more

it's amazing and super fun explore the whole pool recommend for sure the owners are SUPER NICE

My wife and I were on a cross-country camping road trip and heard about this place as a nice spot to cool off in the heat. We ended up staying overnight at one of the camp spots by the river. Since it was early in the season and in the middle of the week we ended up being the only people camping that night which was a nice perk. Sarah, the owner was very nice and we would recommend this spot to anyone either looking for a unique pool experience or tired of dispersed camping. read more

We drove out to Veyo over the weekend to play here. It looks like it could have been an interesting place, however we ended up leaving at the gate. We had a small payment error that could have been resolved, but the owner jumped in and told us he didn't need our business if we didn't like how his daughter charged our credit card. Double fail, opportunity lost with child for providing an example of conflict resolution and customer service, combined with 10 head of customer turning around and walking out. That worked out fine for me, I'd not have gone if I'd known how expensive and crowded it was. We went home and swam for free in our HOA pool. It's just a pool in a what looked like a neat location. When all you've got going for you is atmosphere, it doesn't pay to be rude at the door. read more

I've been going to the veyo pool since I was a kid and it was always the best place to grab something good to eat and hang by a pool. Unfortunately just this year it has gone down hill so bad I will sadly never return. The reason why is that it's incredibly overpriced, the lack of any good food, and the fact that you must now sign some ridiculous waiver. Not to mention the lack of parking and if you want to park near the pool area you must purchase a picnic pass. Tourist might still love it but it has gotten rid of its local charm. read more

Stumbled upon this gem just 20 minutes from St George. It's a natural warm spring fed pool and area for the kids to hunt for crawdads. The location is a bit dated but it adds to the charm, and the overall value & snack stand are great. When the kids are old enough, would love to come back and try the rock climbing, which everyone seems to be loving. read more

Came here with a group of friends for the weekend and it blew us away! Great campsites, a cool river to play in, a warm pool at the perfect temp, and the best climbing any of us have ever seen. The resort is also very close to St. George, and other parks with great hiking/exploring options, but we found enough things to explore by hiking up/down 'Crawdad Canyon'. We loved exploring the nearby lava tubes (caves), catching crawdads in the river, and chillin in hammocks. Literally the perfect weekend getaway for anyone. We will be coming back here! read more

The owner Joe was very friendly and I loved the wifi. We didn't have time to really explore the canyon but we'll do that next time. The parking has changed but mostly for the better, because it is safer now. read more

I have been coming to Veyo Pool for many years now. It is now under new ownership. The new owners, Joe and Sarah have been there every time that we have gone and really care about their guests. They are extremely accommodating and willing to make sure you have a great time. The new manager Supe is also there to make sure that your camping and climbing experience is the best it can be. The pool entrance prices have only increased by a couple of dollars. I honestly don't mind paying an extra since they are using that to make it a better place. The whole place has really been cleaned up. They also have updated/cleaned up the bathrooms, with plans to add more stalls. I also like that they now a healthy lunch option of grilled chicken salad and free wifi! read more

My first time under the new owners. What a difference! Climbing area and camping has been cleaned up. Food and drink menu is expanded. Buzzer to let you know your food is ready. I'm using their wifi to write this! read more

My wife went there and was very very rudely treated we live here locally will never go back there again. And their prices are outrageous

Spent the weekend at Veyo Pool. It was so much fun and there's a ton to do. We loved swimming in the natural warm spring and the rock climbing was awesome. The staff was great and very helpful and the food was great. Make sure to try a pie shake - delicious! We were really impressed with the recent improvements made by the new owners. We plan to go back again next year. read more

The camp sites are quiet and peaceful (especially by the river), lots of fun rock climbing routes, the pool is the perfect temperature, and the new owners are fantastic and accommodating! We come every year and it seems like something new is added every time, always making improvements. This year they added the basketball/pickle ball court. They sell sun screen, aloe, all kinds of food and VEYO PIE MILKSHAKES! read more

I've been going to veyo pool for years with my family. The previous owners were very nice people and have always had a great time there. We went there this last Memorial weekend with our friends from Salt Lake to show them this cool place to find out that it changed ownership. When was showed up the parking lot was crushed lava and we almost got her car stuck. Then we walk down to a bunch of unfriendly signs that felt very unwelcoming thought to myself this is a odd. When we got to the window to pay we counted the amount of people we had she gave me the total it seemed a little bit High I asked if they had raised the rates and they have. No big deal I'm a business owner as well, everybody needs to make a profit I get it. I then proceeded to pay the $71 bill with $40 cash and the rest on my card. After standing there for 10 minutes while they try to figure out how to make this transaction she proceeds to hand me my cash back and had ran my card for the full $71 without saying anything. No big deal I had the money on my card but I was bothered at the fact that she didn't say anything to me. I then asked her what the problem was she proceeded to tell me she didn't know how to do it, not our system is new or anything to that extent. I then asked her what the problem was. It was basic math at this point her father the owner decided to step in. He rudely said if you're going to talk to my daughter like that you can just leave with an arrogance I cannot believe from a new business owner. The conversation was frustrating and we decided to leave I will never go back to this place as long as this guy owns it and I suggest you do the same he doesn't understand the value of a customer. So rude and the place was a complete mess and I will never go back. read more

We love this place!! We spend one to two days a week here. It's relaxing compared to all the community pools in town. The owner is always pleasant and the staff are very friendly. The parking down below is limited and if you don't want to mess with it you can park above pool and walk down. It's our favorite place in the summer here. read more

Great climbing area. Showers, bathrooms, pool, restaurant, what more could you ask for from a camping area. Belay right from your tent. Staff is friendly and laid back. Fires are allowed and there are nice fire pits at each campsite. Parking is decent, 15ish spots. Three sites you can park right next to. Brass plaques that state the route name and grade on 90% of the routes, virtually no guide needed. read more
