Clover Springs Campground

What if a campground could offer both solitude and a slice of history? Clover Springs Campground, located on the historic Pony Express Trail near Dugway, Utah, is a quiet retreat surrounded by desert landscapes and rugged terrain. This Bureau of Land Management campground boasts a unique fusion of undisturbed nature and cultural significance.

With just 10 individual sites and a large group site accommodating up to 50 people, Clover Springs offers a peaceful, low-density camping experience. The sites, equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and shade structures at certain locations, ensure comfort without overdevelopment. Two equestrian-friendly sites cater to horseback riders, while pit toilets and a horse-feeding station highlight its rustic yet thoughtful design. However, campers should note the absence of potable water and trash disposal, requiring self-sufficiency during their visit.

Situated approximately 45 miles from Tooele and within a short drive of scenic recreation areas such as the Onaqui Mountains Wild Horse Viewing Area, the campground offers opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and horseback riding against a picturesque desert backdrop. Its proximity to the Pony Express National Historic Trail further enriches the experience, placing visitors in touch with a vital piece of America’s storied past.
