Creek Pasture Campground is ideal for groups wishing to recreate in the Indian Creek area or to be close to the Canyonlands National Park Needles District and the Bears Ears National Monument Indian Creek Unit. The campground is located north off the Needles Highway (accessed from Highway 211), approximately 5 miles southeast of Canyonlands National Park and 15 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock. The large one-loop campground provides 32 campsites that each feature a tent/trailer space, a picnic table, a fire ring, and vault toilets. Each campsite can hold 10 people and 2 vehicles. There is no water at the campground. Campsites are $15 per night and are "first come, first served" and self-register at the site. There is a group site for larger groups, which may be reserved in advance on this site. Search for "Creek Pasture Group Site" for more information and to make a reservation.
Turn west off US 191 onto Highway 211 and travel approximately 21 miles. The turn off to the campground is on the north side of the highway. It is located approximately 5 miles southeast of Canyonlands National Park and 15 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock.
$15 per night
Beautiful views and kept up pretty nicely. Hot spot for partying climbers which kind of killed the serenity and definitely made you feel a bit unwelcome. Sites were packed with 4 plus cars and loads more people than I think were allowed, large bonfires and loud, obnoxious people... if you are in the middle if it can be pretty annoying. Wish there was a bit more variety of campers to change the vibe but I guess they just took this spot over. Pity for everyone else.
Campground is in excellent shape. Was very crowded when I went; seemed to be a large group college kids who had a very loud rave party until about 1am. With a quieter crowd the campground would have been perfect.
In late July we were one of only two groups in this huge campsite. It's right on the creek too so there's a ton of trees and there was even some water still standing in some places. I'd be happy to camp here again.
We stayed here 3 nights while climbing in the area, and absolutely loved it. The sunset views are insane the way the cliffs light up right in front of you, the campsite was clean and quiet, and the restroom also was well maintained and didn’t even smell that bad for an outhouse. We will definitely be staying in this campground again when we come back to Indian creek!
