Otter Creek, South Point Recreation Site

Otter Creek South Point Recreation Site is a premier destination for those seeking a rugged and authentic outdoor experience in the heart of Southwest Utah. This BLM-managed area is defined by the pristine, cold waters of the large reservoir, which serves as a magnet for anglers pursuing rainbow trout and wildlife enthusiasts hoping to spot elk, antelope, and various raptors. The landscape is vast and open, offering a classic high-desert setting that serves as an ideal base camp for extended explorations into the surrounding National Forest.

As a primitive dispersed camping area, this site offers a back-to-basics experience without the luxury of utility hookups. Guests will find essential amenities including vault toilets and picnic tables, providing a comfortable foundation for tent, car, and self-contained RV camping. Whether you are boating on the reservoir or utilizing the site as a staging area for the expansive Paiute ATV trail system, the area provides plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the quiet surroundings.

This location is best suited for independent travelers, off-road enthusiasts, and anglers who prefer primitive conditions over full-service parks. With year-round access and a focus on outdoor recreation, it is a perfect spot for those who want to immerse themselves in Utah’s natural beauty while maintaining easy access to trails and water.
