Te-Ah Campground is located 28 miles east of Cedar City, Utah, in scenic Navajo Lake Basin. Touring bicycle groups commonly use Te-Ah as a stopover on their way through this beautiful corner of Utah. Fishing and canoeing on Navajo Lake are popular activities.
Navajo Lake offers great canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Hiking and biking are popular activities as well. The Cascade Falls Trailhead is located in the campground. This beautiful trail has abundant wildlife and vegetation.
The 34-mile Virgin River Rim Trail passes near the campground and is open to hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding.
Te-Ah offers 41 single sites with picnic tables and campfire rings. One group site (#33) is available for up to a group size of 20 people. The site provides tables, bicycle wash and parking racks and a workspace for self-contained kitchens.
Flush and vault toilets are provided and drinking water is piped from a spring. A newly paved road skirts the shoreline of Navajo Lake and leads to Te-ah on the lake's western edge, allowing good access for cars, trailers and bicycles.
OHV/ATV's including street legal are not allowed in the campground. Please trailer them in and out of the campground.
The campground is situated on the edge of a meadow high on the Colorado Plateau at an elevation of 9,200 feet. An aspen forest covers the campground. Navajo Lake can be viewed in the distance from several sites.
Boat rentals, a boat ramp, lodging and supplies are available at nearby Navajo Lake Lodge. Also Duck Creek Pond is eight miles east great for fishing with the kids as well as the Duck Creek Visitor Center.
Cascade Falls, Ice Cave and Mammoth Cave are also near-by favorites!
Cedar Breaks National Monument is a short 20 minute drive, with hiking trails, guided tours and breathtaking scenery.
Just outside Cedar Breaks is the Ashdown Gorge Wilderness Area, where hikers will find 10 miles of trails and the Twisted Forest, a stand of ancient bristlecone pine.
From Cedar City, Utah, take Highway 14 east for 25 miles. Turn south on Navajo Lake road and travel for 7 miles.
My brother was the one who found this gem. It is super close to Cedar Breaks National Monument and close to a lake as well. The campground was immaculate including the flush toilets! In fact it was probably the cleanest bathroom at a campground I have ever seen. And we camp a lot. We had the group site. Had plenty of spots for tents, a picnic table and a good sized fire pit. The group site was close to the restroom as well which I liked but not tooo close. The camp host was amazing and personable too. The area is gorgeous. I will totally go back to this campground one day.
Arrived on Sunday afternoon and not too crowded. Camp spot was ok at first and then when settled in it turned out to be very nice. Restroom nearby and so was the trash dumpster. Beautiful trees and scenery.
First night was woken to a terrible noise as a few skunks raided the trash bag we had set up in camp and they made a mess, but luckily a spray of water from a squirt bottle drove them away. The next few nights the trash was thrown away or suspended and didn't hear them again. A small doe was spotted near our camp.
Navajo lake water level was very low and we caught and released the few trout we caught. Lake is choked with weeds and made fishing difficult and poor.
Cell and internet is accessible near the trash dumpster a few miles away or at the village.
The last day there was a problem with water flow at camp, but luckily we were leaving so for us it wasn't a great inconvenience. I hope it got fixed quickly. Also there are no showers available at this campground.
There are picnic tables, but no cover from the sun. There was light rain day and night with a few times quite heavy, but for the most part it wasn't a ruined trip if you are prepared.
We intend to return next year, hopefully the lake will fill with water again. Overall a nice place to get away from the heat of Las Vegas. Daytime temps was 70 and night 50 degrees. You'll feel both hot and cold temps.
Beautiful place to camp, campsite was very spacious (site 27) we will definitely be back. The trail to the lake has beautiful views of a large meadow with colorful flowers it's so beautiful and peaceful, very windy when we were there but it didn't take anything from enjoying our stay. Host was very nice and she has firewood for sale there ($7) there is no phone signal unless you go up to the village or go really high up the mountain trails.
The campground was full with lots of quiet campers. We noticed that the area was very clean. The camp host was friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time.
Beautiful campground surrounded by Aspen trees. Restrooms were clean and campsite was easy to find. This campground is located at the heart of Duck Creek area and perfect escape to beat the summer heat.
