As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
If you’ve lived in Utah your entire life like I have, you might think you pretty much know about every attraction in the Beehive State. I recently stumbled upon this little gem, and was shocked that I’d never heard of it. This swimming hole is located in the middle of nowhere, and I’m willing to bet that most of you don’t know about it either. You’ve got to check this out!
The little town of Veyo is far off the beaten path, but it's only about 20 miles northwest of St. George.
The resort offers a warm-spring swimming pool, crawdad catching, rock climbing, camping and restaurant. The resort is open seven days a week, from noon to 8:00 PM, April 1 to October 31.

The spring-fed pool was built in the 1920s, but it's recently been renovated.
Grab a bucket and some sticks or nets and head into Crawdad Canyon, where you'll find dozens (sometimes hundreds) of crawdads. You can use little bits of hot dog for bait, then scoop, 'em right up.
Sites include a picnic table, and you can get a fire pit (mandatory for all fires) for just $5. The sites are $30 for a river site; $25 for a basic site. Campsites fill up fast - click here to reserve yours in advance.
To enjoy this pretty little resort, there's one very important thing to note: ALL guests at the resort must sign a waiver before entering.
If you're bringing any children with you that aren't your own, you'll need their parents to sign the waiver before you arrive. Click here for an online, printable waiver, or sign it when you get to Veyo Resort.
To enter the resort, you’ll purchase a Canyon Access Pass: $8.50/14-adult; $6.50/kids under 14. Rock climbing costs an additional $8.50/person.
