Overview

The Creek Pasture Group Site at Creek Pasture Campground is ideal for large groups wishing to recreate in the Indian Creek area, or camp close to the Bears Ears National Monument Indian Creek Unit of the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. The Indian Creek area is generally primitive and undeveloped, with few services. The Indian Creek area is a popular filming area because of its classical "western" look. Both commercial advertisements and major motion pictures have been filmed in the area.

Recreation

The Indian Creek area has gained international recognition for its extraordinary natural beauty and numerous recreational opportunities. Spectacular landscapes along with rich archeological resources provide visitors with an abundance of recreational opportunities. These opportunities include: hiking, biking, cultural resource viewing, camping, off-highway vehicle (OHV) use, rock climbing, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, sightseeing and scenic photography. These features attract visitors from around the world, who recreate both privately and by hiring commercial outfitters.

Facilities

The Creek Pasture Group Site is located along the northwestern edge of the Creek Pasture Campground and features tent and trailer space, picnic tables, a fire ring, a vault toilet, and a shade structure. The site can hold approximately 20 vehicles, with a vehicle and trailer counting as two vehicles. There is no drinking water provided.

Natural Features

Indian Creek consists of a broad, gently rolling valley bracketed by the sandstone cliffs of Harts Point to the northeast and Bridger Jack Mesa to the southwest. The valley is bisected by both the major thoroughfare of Highway 211 and Indian Creek itself. From Highway 211 the interior of the valley is a classic western landscape with panoramic vistas, towering sandstone cliffs and spires, and rolling grasslands.

Beautiful campground! It's conveniently located just outside the Canyonlands National Park (Needles Area). We got the group site for our large family and the shelter came in handy during the rain. Note that there's no water and no dumpster, so plan accordingly.

The spot was large enough for our big group of 3 motorhomes pulling trailers a big 5th wheel camper and a truck with trailer. We came to jeep elephant hill and explore. Nice & quiet. Away from everything. Solitude at its finest. We were sad Indian creek was dry. And there was a huge pile of tumbleweeds in the site, which limited level parking.

We had a group of 4 truck/trailers and 4 passenger cars with tent campers for 4 nights in April 2024. Plenty of room for our group in the parking lot. We had a few travelers, not associated with our group, come through our site to turnaround and exit. I would like to see BLM put up a big "group site" sign at the entrance to deter other people from coming through the middle of our site. The bathrooms were a bit of a walk for the tent campers. No water in the campground. There are 3 picnic tables under the shelter. We had rain off & on and the shelter wasn't large enough for us, and our gear, to take cover. For a group site of this size I would have thought that the shelter area would have been larger. The evening sunsets were magical.

This is a great site, lots of room. The shade structure is great and the rocks give shade in the afternoon. Since it’s away from the individual sites and at the end of the road it’s quiet most of the time. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great spot, and you can fit a half dozen full size travel trailers easily. The only negative are the drive throughs who come through the site, one because you can't really read the group site sign anymore, and 2, because once you get to the entry point of the group camp site there is nowhere for people to turn back, there than going through the site. Other than that it is the best site in the campground and very reasonable if you are dividing it up.
