Creek Pasture Campground

Creek Pasture Campground beckons adventurers with its rugged desert beauty, world-class rock climbing access, and strategic proximity to Canyonlands National Park. This BLM-managed campground offers a quintessential Utah backcountry experience, balancing primitive amenities with awe-inspiring scenery. Sprawling across a broad valley rimmed by towering Wingate Sandstone cliffs, the campground provides an ideal basecamp for exploring the renowned Indian Creek area of Bears Ears National Monument.

Located just 5 miles southeast of Canyonlands National Park's Needles District and 15 miles northwest of the ancient petroglyphs at Newspaper Rock, Creek Pasture Campground serves as a gateway to the region's natural and cultural wonders. The surrounding landscape showcases iconic desert features like Lavender Mesa, Bridger Jack Mesa, and the striking silhouettes of North and South Six Shooter Peaks.

Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Creek Pasture for its unparalleled access to world-class rock climbing routes, extensive hiking trails, and off-highway vehicle touring on designated routes. The campground's location along Indian Creek (though often dry) provides a welcome touch of greenery with shade-giving cottonwood trees. While amenities are basic, the 32 individual sites each offer a fire ring, picnic table, and access to vault toilets, perfectly suiting self-sufficient campers seeking an immersive desert experience.
