The campground is located north off the Needles Highway (accessed from Utah State Route 211), approximately 3 miles southeast of Canyonlands National Park and 17 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock. The campground provides 10 campsites that each feature a tent/trailer space, a picnic table, a fire ring, and vault toilets. Each campsite can hold 10 people and 2 vehicles. There is no drinking water at the campground. Reservations are not available for camping at this location. Campsites are available on a first come, first served basis upon arrival at the self-register kiosk at the site. The Indian Creek area is generally primitive and undeveloped, with few services.

Beautiful campground!! I used the Scan & Pay feature on the Recreation.gov App. When paying for campground site, offline, the App pre-populated all my information EXCEPT my Lifetime Senior Pass number, which I had to manually input. My pass was already stored in the App! I had wifi the next day and recieved an email saying my pending campsite payment transaction was completed. BUT, it's now a week later, and the App is still sending notifications that I have a Pending Transaction and I should open the App to complete it??

While was during the shutdown, the pit toilets were in need of servicing. Also the campground itself requires a fee, so it seems the campers in the campground are subsidizing the pit toilets for those campers using the free BLM land..

Great location!! Sites have tables, fire pits, and views of the canyons from the rock. Sites are all dispersed around the rock, the payment/reservation system is a little weird. It’s a combination of first come first serve but also making the reservation once you’re there. Can be a little difficult with limited reception (I was able to get it eventually with T-Mobile), but the sites are great.

Great little campground with fantastic views. Sites have fire pits and picnic tables, there are a few pit toilets nearby and, it's about 10 minutes to the needles entrance and you can fill up on water in the park. Also lots of dispersed camping spots around.

Site 1 was amazing, although it’s tough to find a spot to stake your tent down, there are plenty of boulders/ rocks nearby to secure your tent. It’s 6 miles from the Needles visitor center.
