Hamburger Rock Campground

Set against the backdrop of the famous red sandstone formations of Bears Ears National Monument, Hamburger Rock Campground offers a truly distinctive camping experience that combines rugged beauty, primitive charm, and close proximity to natural wonders. This remote campground's central feature is its namesake monolith, Hamburger Rock, which doubles as a visual landmark and occasional shade source for its 10 campsites.

Campsites are equipped with fire rings, picnic tables, and access to a vault toilet, though campers will need to bring their own water and supplies as no potable water or trash services are available. Most sites provide stellar sunset views or shelter from desert winds, making this a favorite for both adventurers and those seeking solitude under Utah's mesmerizing night skies. Its location is ideal for rock climbers, hikers, and photographers, with world-class recreation opportunities nearby, including the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, just three miles away, and the famed Newspaper Rock, a short drive to the southeast.

Situated off Utah's scenic State Route 211, the campground lies about 29 miles west of Highway 191, accessible via a gravel road. Its remote desert locale immerses visitors in the dramatic landscapes of the Indian Creek area, known for its Wingate Sandstone cliffs and iconic rock formations like North and South Six Shooter Peaks. If you're seeking a no-frills, awe-inspiring base camp for exploring southeastern Utah, Hamburger Rock Campground delivers unparalleled access to some of the region's finest natural and cultural treasures.
