Oak Creek Campground is located in the scenic Oak Creek Canyon of central Utah's Fishlake National Forest. Visitors enjoy fishing and exploring local off-road vehicle trails.
Rainbow trout fishing in the cool waters of Oak Creek is a popular activity. Campers enjoy splashing in the creek on hot summer days. Off-road vehicle trails are available in the canyon and can be accessed nearby.
The campground contains four reservable group sites. Picnic tables, campfire rings and grills are provided, as are vault toilets and drinking water. An amphitheater, volleyball court and play field are located on-site.
A dense grove of shady oak, maple and cottonwood trees lines the banks of Oak Creek.
From Oak City, Utah, travel east on Center Street 4.25 miles to the campground.
Great small campground with potable water , pit potty, and trash - about 9-10 sites only - all first come first served - no reservations - about four in first loop will allow small camper trailers but nothing huge- there is a small creek “Oak Creek” that runs through the campground - the highway is close to one edge of campground sites but did not hear anything in the night.
Oak Creek Campground is so peaceful and a treat for the eyes. The cheery babbling water of Oak Creek provides the soundtrack to your stay. My wife and I camped here for five nights on Spring Break, 11 years ago. We had the space reserved for 1 more night, but an incoming snow storm forced us to retreat to a hotel in Flagstaff AZ. Best thing I remember from our visit was the overall tranquility and beauty of Oak Creek, right behind our campsite. Other memorable moments were watching waterbugs gliding atop the surface of Oak Creek, feeling connected with a Robin that flew into our campground to hang out with us, dipping my feet into Oak Creek, and seeing a Golden Eagle, all lit up by the sun, in a tree near our camp site.
We had a great time here. I'd recommend camping at Oak Creek Campground to anyone!
After a long day of driving I pulled into the first open spot at Oak Creek Campground. The area was clean and the camping spot level.
Pros: Trees and location provide shelter from the wind.
: Spaces are level, large and not to close together.
: sites provide water, large table,fire ring and access to pit outhouse.
Cons: The first camping area is close to the highway so there is an occasional car or truck passing by.
: I was serenaded by cows most of the night as it's a free range area.
Overall, a nice place!
FS notes no trailers over 20ft. No cell service. And when I looked, no campers either. Sites are small and end loop is to tight to turn a TT around..beware! Otherwise a nice CG for renters and van types.
Place was so beautiful... literally one of the prettiest camp grounds I've ever camped at BUT ALSO ONE OF COLDEST. My Florida butt froze I wasn't ready for it. But I LOVED how the free range cows just roamed all over freely.... I was a little nervous when I seen all the black bear warning signs.... never seen one though THANK GOD! I held onto my car keys all night just in case so that i could of hit the car alarm button in attempt to scare off a potential bear attack.. (signs says loud noises will scare them away).. happy I didn't need it !
