Overview
Hamburger Rock Campground is a good option for visitors wishing to recreate in the Indian Creek area of Bears Ears National Monument or be close to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. 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.__
Recreation
The Indian Creek area of Bears Ears National Monument has gained international recognition for its extraordinary natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The Indian Creek canyon opens to a broad valley rimmed by Wingate Sandstone cliffs known for world-class rock climbing. Prominent geologic features include Lavender Mesa, Bridger Jack Mesa, and North and South Six Shooter Peaks. This spectacular setting and rich archeological resources provide visitors with recreational opportunities such as rock climbing, camping, cultural resource viewing, scenic photography, and off-highway vehicle (OHV) touring on designated routes.
Natural Features
The campsites are situated at the base of the Hamburger Rock geologic feature, a red sandstone monolith. A few of the sites are shaded by small juniper trees, but most are shaded only by the rock itself.

Nice small BLM ch
Hamburger Rocks BLM CG.
This small BLM cg is just outside of the Needles District of Canyonlands NP.
10 sites, $15/$7.50 senior. 14d limit. Two vault toilets but no water no dumpsters. Most sites are small and uneven, large TTs and RVs would have limited options and sites best suited to truck and van/tent campers; however, there are many free dispersed camp areas along the main gravel road before and after the CG. I think the NPS directs campers here as overflow if the park is full.
Note there is ZERO cell signal here, but my Starlink Roam setup is getting the interweb task done.

Great stop, don't get there too late.
10 to 12ish spots surrounding a bunch of rocks that the whole family can climb around, for example to watch the sunset. Permanent bathrooms with locking doors (no running water, but hand sanitizer in stock). No trash cans in bathrooms. Everybody there was respectful of each other; the rock placement means every campsite was private from each other one. Fire rings and picnic tables at each site. Dispersed camping spots up and down the road to it.
Awesome spot near Canyonlands -Needles section
Nice campsites surrounding "hamburger rock". Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Toilets are close by. Amazing views on all sides. We got here on a Sunday evening in May and there were plenty of spots left.
