Overview

The Indian Creek Falls Group Site is ideal for groups wishing to recreate in the Indian Creek Corridor or to be close to Canyonlands National Park. The site is situated in a small bowl just above the terrace of Indian Creek. Except for three Bureau of Land Management developed recreational facilities and the Dugout Ranch, the Indian Creek Corridor is generally primitive and undeveloped. 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.

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

This site is amazing. We had a group of 15 and had tons and tons of space. It’s a beautiful area - we used this to go to Canyonlands Needles district, but honestly could have spent days just exploring and climbing / hiking around the campsite. There is a bathroom a short walk away, lots of tables, and a fire pit. No water or trash nearby so that all needs to be brought in/out.

Great group site. Clean with nice wilderness hiking right from camp. A few too many dispersed sites right near by lent to lots of traffic on the main road even late in the evening.

I don't want to speak highly of this campsite because then everyone would want to use it. But...it's amazing. The location was perfect. It can accommodate a lot of people and the surrounding area was gorgeous. The kids didn't even want to leave because they had so much to do. If I ever come back to the Needles district, I will definitely camp here again. Well worth the price.

The campsite is really lovely! There are rocks to scramble on (nice for kids), an ephemeral creek on the edge of the site with one large cottonwood, tons of privacy compared to most camping in Indian Creek (which meant really quiet nights), and a pleasant, open-air pit toilet 100-200 yards downhill. The only reason I didn't give this site five stars is because it's quite a drive from all rock climbing. It's also not super cheap - the value for the site is moderately good.

Nice spot. Car to person ratio very out of date. Since most people in our group wanted to sleep in their vehicles we found the 10 car max a problem.
