Reviews
Bears Ears National Monument campgrounds offer beautiful, spacious sites with great views and proximity to the Needles district and Canyonlands National Park. Facilities include clean pit toilets and fire pits, though there is no water or trash pickup. Some sites are ideal for large groups, with shelters and ample parking. The campsites are quiet and well-maintained, with a few complaints about rough access roads, limited shade, occasional highway noise, and payment system issues.

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

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.

Sweet spot to camp while exploring the Needles district. Quick drive to the visitor center. Pit toilets were decent and appreciated. We got a site with a large, flat tent pad that was helpful for pitching our tent.

Road in was very rough. Bathrooms (outhouse) was stinky to be expected. Did not accept our Lifetime Senior pass for the online registration. Site was fine.

Popularity: Very busy
Busiest in August, when about 100% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 9 years of reservations.
