Wasatch Mountain - Little Deer Creek

About

Little Deer Creek Campground is a primitive, backcountry camping destination within Wasatch Mountain State Park, situated at an elevation of 7,230 feet near Midway, Utah. The campground offers 17 standard tent/small trailer sites and one group site accommodating up to 25 people. Each individual site features a tent pad, picnic table, fire pit, BBQ grill, and access to potable water via on-site spigots. A central comfort station with flush toilets serves the campground, though running water in the restroom is only available from June through September, with a vault toilet available at other times. Access to Little Deer Creek requires a vehicle capable of handling rough terrain. The campground can be reached via Cascade Springs Road with a standard vehicle, by ATV from Trail 2, or through Snake Creek using a 4WD high-clearance vehicle. The dirt road conditions are challenging, and hauling trailers is done at your own risk. Sites can accommodate equipment up to 35 feet, though the road conditions make this impractical for large RVs. The campground is especially popular among off-road vehicle enthusiasts who use it as a base for exploring the extensive OHV trail network in the surrounding area. The remote setting provides a quieter, more rustic camping experience compared to the park's more developed Pine Creek Campground. No electrical hookups or shower facilities are available, making it best suited for tent campers and those with self-contained small trailers.

Directions

Accessible via three routes: Cascade Springs Road (standard vehicle), Trail 2 by ATV, or Snake Creek requiring 4WD high-clearance vehicle. All routes involve rough dirt roads. Located approximately 10 miles from Midway, Utah.
