Otter Creek, Tamarisk Point Rec Site

Tamarisk Point at Otter Creek offers a rugged and scenic escape for those seeking a true primitive camping experience. Managed by the BLM, this dispersed site is perfectly suited for adventurers looking to immerse themselves in Utah’s high-desert landscape. Whether you are hauling a trailer or pitching a tent, the area serves as an ideal basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize nature over modern luxuries.

The surroundings are defined by the expansive, clear waters of the reservoir, which provide excellent year-round fishing opportunities for rainbow trout. Wildlife watchers will appreciate the frequent sightings of waterfowl, raptors, elk, and antelope that inhabit the area. For those seeking adrenaline, the site provides convenient access to the sprawling Paiute ATV trail system, making it a favorite staging point for off-road riders.

Facilities at this site are minimal, consistent with its primitive nature, and include vault toilets and picnic tables. Because there are no hookups available, campers should arrive fully self-sufficient. This location is best suited for independent travelers, families, and outdoor hobbyists who enjoy a remote atmosphere and direct access to the water and wilderness.
