Deer Creek Campground

Nestled at an elevation of 5,690 feet within the dramatic landscape of Deer Creek Canyon, this small BLM campground offers a true escape into the heart of the Southwest. Located directly along the iconic Burr Trail Road in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, the site provides a rugged and intimate outdoor experience. With only seven individual campsites, it is the perfect destination for those seeking solitude and the striking geological beauty that defines this region of Utah.

This is a primitive campground designed for travelers who are fully self-sufficient. There are no hookups available, and potable water is not provided on-site, so visitors should plan accordingly. While the area features ADA accessible facilities and nearby hiking trails, the terrain and site limitations mean the campground cannot accommodate travel trailers or large RVs.

Deer Creek is best suited for tent campers and those in small camper vans who appreciate a minimalist approach to the wilderness. Whether you are passing through on a scenic road trip or looking for a basecamp to explore the surrounding monument, this year-round site offers a quiet, authentic connection to the high desert landscape.
