Creek Pasture Campground

About

Creek Pasture Campground is a primitive campground located in the Indian Creek unit of Bears Ears National Monument, approximately 5 miles southeast of Canyonlands National Park and 15 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock. The single-loop campground provides 32 individual sites, each accommodating up to 10 people and 2 vehicles. Sites feature picnic tables and fire rings, with vault toilets serving the area. There is no drinking water at the campground. The Indian Creek area has gained international recognition for its extraordinary rock climbing on Wingate Sandstone cliffs. Prominent features include Lavender Mesa, Bridger Jack Mesa, and North and South Six Shooter Peaks. Beyond climbing, visitors enjoy camping, cultural resource viewing, scenic photography, and OHV touring on designated routes. The campground is located along the banks of Indian Creek, which flows intermittently. Cottonwood trees line the creek and provide shade at some sites. A small sandstone cliff borders the west side of the campground. Services are minimal; campers should arrive prepared with water, firewood, and all supplies needed for a self-sufficient stay.
