Overview

Creek Pasture Campground is a good option for visitors wishing to recreate in the Indian Creek area of Bears Ears National Monument or be close to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. The campground is located north off the Needles Highway (accessed from Utah State Route 211), approximately 5 miles southeast of Canyonlands National Park and 15 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock. The campground provides 32 campsites that each feature a tent/trailer space, a picnic table, a fire ring, and vault toilets. Each campsite can hold 10 people and 2 vehicles. There is no drinking water at the campground. Reservations are not available for camping at this location. Individual campsites are available on a first come, first served basis upon arrival at the self-register kiosk at the site. The Creek Pasture Group Site is available for larger groups, and may be reserved here. The Indian Creek area is generally primitive and undeveloped, with few services.

Recreation

The Indian Creek area of Bears Ears National Monument has gained international recognition for its extraordinary natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The Indian Creek canyon opens to a broad valley rimmed by Wingate Sandstone cliffs known for world-class rock climbing. Prominent geologic features include Lavender Mesa, Bridger Jack Mesa, and North and South Six Shooter Peaks. This spectacular setting and rich archeological resources provide visitors with recreational opportunities such as rock climbing, camping, cultural resource viewing, scenic photography, and off-highway vehicle (OHV) touring on designated routes.

Facilities

Natural Features

The campground is located along the banks of Indian Creek. Creek flow is intermittent, and except for spring or immediately after precipitation, the creek bed is typically dry. Cottonwood trees line the banks of the creek and provide shade at some campsites. A small sandstone cliff lines the west side of the campground.

Beautiful views surround this camp ground and it also sits along a creek that provides lovely trees to the area for some shade. Plenty of bathrooms in my opinion for the number of sites. There are a lot of ants so be prepared for that just in case. Overall a nice campground just outside of canyon lands.

Have nothing to complaint about. Campground is at the beautiful spot with at least some trees, nice tables and fire pits. Toilets were clean. For us to camp for 15$/site in climbers paradise it is almost unbelievable :) As a european I never tought it can be so affordable to go climbing/camping in Indian Creek
