Antelope Spring Cave

1 ReviewAdd Review

Eighteen miles east of Milford, this Bureau of Land Management dispersed camping area provides free overnight stays on public land surrounding Antelope Spring Cave. The site requires a permit from the BLM office in Fillmore before arrival, as the cave system has experienced serious accidents in the past. Campers can build fires and access the area by vehicle.

The location sees few visitors according to longtime cavers, making it a quiet base for exploring the underground formations. No pets are allowed on the property. Experienced spelunkers recommend bringing helmets, backup lighting, and informing others of planned return times before entering the cave system. The dispersed camping setup works well for those combining caving with campgrounds near Milford exploration.

Antelope Springs Cave

I’ve been caving in Utah for about 20 years. Really cool experience, but you need to be careful. Note that a permit is required, you need to get it from the BLM office in Fillmore before you head out. There have been some tragic accidents in other areas. Ensure people know where you are and when you’re due back just in case, wear a helmet and carry a backup light source. Very cool to combine this with dispersed camping though on the BLM land surrounding the site. I’ve rarely seen anyone else out here.
