"This campground has easy access to All the Cedar Breaks National Monument has to offer! Great sites, although my only complaint is that they are pretty close to one another."
$28 - $160 / night
"It's easy to get to (once you get through the mountain pass on either side) off of Utah 14 in the beautiful stretch of land called Duck Creek."
"Clean restrooms, water on taps, close to Duck Creek Reservoir. Friendly hosts & very affordable. Close to many hiking trails. Love Utah's Forest Service Campgrounds!"
$35 - $130 / night
"Shuttles are not running and the scenic drive going to the lodge was closed due to COVID-19. We camped in the B loop, site # 51."
"This campground is located smack dab inside the parks main entrance, right after the visitor center. It’s open & mostly tents. There is very little privacy but the sites weren’t terribly close."
$50 / night

"It’s fun of all sorts, kayaking, lake beach, boating, cliff jumping, bbq, off-roading everywhere!!! And the beauty that surrounds is unreal!!"
$23 - $56 / night
"It’s a nice spot right across from Navajo Lake. 11 sites are walk-in and another 12 are drive-up. There are also a couple of double sites."
"Navajo Lake Campground fits the idyllic image of camping by a lake. The farthest sites would be a five minute walk to the shore from the upper campground."
"Campground with dispersed campsites within a grove of aspen trees adjacent to a large meadow and the Marathon TH, with a stunning view of Cedar Breaks. Vault toilet is well-maintained."
"There was a creek nearby that my dogs loved playing in and lots of trails to off road on. The place was very clean and please help keep it that way if you go."
"Bummer, it’s right off the highway, but late at night it’s pretty quiet. Just have to checkout all the pullouts for a walking trail down to a camping spot. Not too shabby."
"Right off of highway but plenty of tree cover to dampen road noise. Waterfall and creek noise to lull you to sleep. Large dirt parking area."
"The overflow is where we stayed which is tucked into the trees and has a creek running through it."
"The other spots by the creek are all close to each other with minimal privacy. The spot we found was completely separate and next to creek. Wed was pretty empty but then it filled up on Thursday."
"There are 4 or 5 spots along the river and two beautiful tucked away spots just for tent camping at the end of the road."
"Perfect location for any size group. Very quiet and serene. Next to a river and close to navajo lake. Had some fire pits and a small bathroom. Awesome spot!"
"The park is on the edge of town but close to anything you might want or need. Our site was directly across from the playground and 50 steps from the off-leash dog park."
"Wi-fi full hook-ups available Propane exchange small dog potty area laundromat
the people were nice and helpful!"
LegendCurrently closed, this campground is In the mountains of the Dixie National Forest. It’s a nice spot right across from Navajo Lake. 11 sites are walk-in and another 12 are drive-up. There are also a couple of double sites. The spots are surrounded by natural beauty with easy access to fishing, kayaking, canoeing, off roading, hiking and more in the area. Also great proximity to Bryce, Zion and Cedar Breaks. Take a drive up Brian Head Peak in the warmer months. The towns of Hatch and Duck Creek Village are both very close by. I’m not sure if they’re closed seasonally (it was end of Sept when we arrived) or due to COVID and couldn’t find any information on it so make sure you check the USFS website before trying to camp here! We will try again in the future as this area is beautiful.
LegendCedar Canyon Retreat is a cute little campground close to Cedar Breaks National Monument and to the town of Brian Head. We stayed in our 30' TT and site 20 was plenty big enough. The grounds are kept clean as well as the restrooms. The camp hosts are very nice and helpful. The only drawback is that it's right next to Hwy 14 which is the main route into Cedar Breaks and continuing onto Brian Head and can get a bit noisy. There isn't a whole lot of shade around the campground for both RV's and Tent sites. We stayed two nights while visiting Cedar Breaks and the cute town of Cedar City.
ScoutThis is a Great place! I love that they are pet friendly and not breed restrictive. I have a pit mix (who's just a big ole teddy bear) and you know how that can often make travel and lodging difficult. I love that he is welcome here. They have a big grassy dog park for him to run and play in, he loves running in the sprinklers! Its two sided and completely fenced in so large and small breeds can have their own safe space to play in. I really appreciate the picnic benches to sit on for the parents. For me this is a huge benefit and I recommend this park for any pet owner!
RangerCampground with dispersed campsites within a grove of aspen trees adjacent to a large meadow and the Marathon TH, with a stunning view of Cedar Breaks. Vault toilet is well-maintained. Our go-to campsite for MTB…as Brian Head reaort is only a couple of minutes away.
ScoutVery nice place with full hookups. They have a pool/jacuzzi that is opening soon. We stayed here as base camp and spent our days 20 minutes up the mountain skiing at Brian Head. Great stay
GuideThis location has a handful of spots on both side of the main road. We saw some larger RV/motorhomes as well as basic tent camping. Fire rings are already set up for you and there is a dumpster for trash down the road next to the horse trail ride company going back towards duck creek village. Close enough to the village for buying basics, grabbing food or renting an atv. Drive to Navajo lake to swim or boat, 35 min to Cedar breaks, 35 min to red canyon, 45 min to Brian head, less than an hour to Bryce Canyon and 1.5 hrs to Zion. Only bad was the atv noise that starts super early. VERIZON COVERAGE!!! we were able to make calls, access the internet and watch steamed videos.
ScoutThis is one of our favorite spots to camp in Utah. It's fabulously close to Bryce Canyon NP and a reasonable distance from Zion NP and Grand Staircase Escalante. Kodachrome is also a good destination in itself. Campsites are surrounded on three sides by beautiful cliffs and mountains and there are plenty of trails to hike and explore. We'll be back here again!
GuideAll the reviews are spot on, so I won’t bore you with my details. However, the bugs were relentless. On one occasion, a horsefly bit through my husbands shirt, so be sure to pull out of the bug repellent hacks you can find!
We visited mid-June of 2017...that’s when the massive Brian Head fire happened. We got some ashes at the campsite, but were still able to enjoy the visit.
Hope you enjoy the pictures!!
GuideWith the campground near Cedar Breaks, Brian Head, and Duck Creek, this campsite is a perfect getaway for your beginner to novice camper. This campground is very well-maintained. The public restroom (for sites 1-14) is clean, for the most part, but still a public restroom; with the convenience of a water spigot across the way.
There is enough available sites for FCFS, but like any FCFS, we highly advise getting there very early in the AM. We got there around 8:00AM. Campsites are close in proximity, but far enough away to have your own private session. We stayed in Campsite 10, across the street was 9D (double-site against the mountain), which was fairy large and could accommodate up to 8+ people. Adjacent to us were campsites 8 and 11, see photos for distance between sites. Campsite 8, 10, 11 were against the main road, which had quite a bit of sound due to highway traffic.
Ron was our wonderful camp host for the weekend. He brought a very cheerful, yet helpful/supportive, vibe to the whole campground. He occasionally cruised around the campsites, checking on everyone and ensuring everything was going well; which kept a very communal vibe throughout the weekend. Bring your camp hosts’ treats! Or at least share the love. It’s the least anyone could do to someone who brings great value to a campground.
There was no firewood available for purchase at the campground, so we advise picking up some in Cedar City (which is closely convenient, 30min away). ACE hardware was where we were able to obtain good dry firewood at a decent price.
Perfect campground for families and groups of friends looking to have a great time in beautiful Dixie National Forest.
