Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Delta, UT

Fishlake National Forest Oak Creek Recreation Site offers pet-friendly camping throughout its 20 sites, with both standard and group options available. Pets must remain leashed in camping areas but can explore nearby trails with their owners. Located 4 miles east of Oak City, this shady campground features water hookups, toilets, and creek access where dogs can cool off during summer months. Several dispersed camping options around Delta allow pets, including multiple sites along Whiskey Creek Road where campers report peaceful settings with ample space for dogs to explore under supervision. The campground provides a clean, immaculate environment with great hosts and quiet surroundings that make it ideal for camping with pets.

West Fork-Whiskey Creek dispersed camping areas provide excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing with pets, though owners should keep dogs leashed or under voice control when wildlife is present. Numerous free camping spots along Eight Mile Road and Whiskey Creek Road accommodate tents and smaller RVs, with most sites featuring established fire rings. Campers report seeing abundant deer and elk in the area, particularly in the meadows along West Fork trail just two miles from the trailhead. For RV campers with pets, Antelope Valley RV Park in Delta provides full hookups and grassy areas for dog walking, though reviewers note the lack of dedicated pet amenities. During summer months, early morning or evening walks are recommended to protect pets' paws from hot ground surfaces in this high desert environment.

    Love's RV Hookup-Fillmore UT 835

    Parking Lot Hook Up Site

    This is in the back of the Loves Travel Center. It has 2 super nice dog parks that are fenced in.

    It is loud since it’s in a gas station parking lot. Back in site only. All cement pads no sitting areas or places to be outside. Kind of weird cause people can just walk through and use the dog park around your RV.

    People park in the RV spots. Not a secured location. Stopped here to sleep on our drive home. Left before dark.

    No RV park showers or laundry facilities. Pay extra for the Truck stop showers (did not use)

    Oasis Campground — Yuba State Park

    Great Weekend Getaway

    Awesome first camp of the year. Booked as soon as the state parks opened back up. Place really gave that “middle of nowhere feel”, lake and surrounding area were beautiful. Campsites were simple and bathrooms were nice. Only issue we had was we accidentally booked a site without electric. Could’ve been more clear on website, but also likely a rookie mistake being our first camp in Utah

    Wagons West RV Campground

    Dated but inexpensive

    No concrete pads, just gravel with grass and picnic tables between. The landscaping looks a little overgrown. The fencing around the small dog park isn’t secure.

    Office and laundry facilities are closed on Sundays. Bathrooms are small but clean with one toilet stall and two shower stalls each.

    Full hookups and pull through spaces. Wi-Fi is available but we didn’t test it.

    It’s a very quiet place. Fillmore has a Best Western with a golf course, a few gas stations and a Carls Jr.

    Adelaide Campground

    A perfect campground!

    This campground is perfectly tucked away in the hills near Kanosh UT. About 15 mins down a back road from the freeway (I-15). It is small but large open areas for kids and/or dogs to run and play. It’s quiet and clean. There are two bathrooms within a short walk from every site. The creek runs near the sites and it’s the perfect sound to lull you to sleep. You can reserve a site ahead of time on the website or walk in and pay at the site as long as there is no reservations. Very simple. There is NO cell service so if you are coming from a long distance be sure to make sure there are availability’s before you drive into the site. If you’re ever taking that route through Utah and need a place to crash I would recommend this to anyone!

    Oasis Campground — Yuba State Park

    Nice facilities, well-maintained

    Spent a night here. Nice facilities, with covered picnic tables at each RV spot, water, and most with electric. Nearby dump station. Some grass and green areas for dogs. Adequate shower facilities. Pretty scenery, and several miles away from the interstate so very quiet. There was an algae bloom that made lake hazardous, so we kept dogs away from the water.

    Rollin' Home RV Park

    Highly Recommended

    Friendly staff and able to accomodate short notice stop. Spots were full but they let us park in the parking lot for the night and gave us full access to showers and laundry. Great showers that were clean and nicer than some hotels. Walking path for dogs was a great bonus. You wont be disappointed.

    Antelope Valley RV Park

    Average

    Have stayed here on two occasions, more recently in April. Our campsite lacked a fire pit or picnic bench however the showers are warm and bathrooms kept clean. If you’re in the area to go digging for trilobites this may be your only option for camping as the town of Delta is small and has little options for overnight staying.

    Dispersed Sandy Lot

    easy place to stop for night 15 minutes or so away from interstate

    We were looking for an easy place away from the interstate to split our drive from Idaho to St George in half.  There was no one here at all and found easy place with a tree to set up 26ft tt.  Let the dog roam free around meadow.  Further up are more sites but gets sandier and tighter


Guide to Delta

Dispersed camping areas near Delta, Utah provide accessible options for overnight stays in the high desert environment. Most sites sit between 4,500-5,000 feet elevation, with daytime temperatures often exceeding 90°F during summer months. The terrain transitions from desert valleys to juniper forests as you travel east from Delta toward the Fishlake National Forest boundaries.

What to do

Wildlife viewing: 2 miles from trailhead. West Fork trail offers excellent wildlife spotting opportunities without extensive hiking. "You can park at the trailhead and hike up only 2 miles before you start seeing deer and elk everywhere. You simply follow the river up the canyon, and choose from any of the small flat locations for tent camping," notes one visitor to West Fork - Whiskey Creek Dispersed Camping.

Cave exploration: accessible year-round. The lava tubes near Pahvant Valley provide unique camping experiences with natural temperature regulation. "This is a primitive spot no tables or fire pits. You can camp in the lava tube they are warm in the winter and it is a fun place to explore," writes a camper at Pahvant Valley Heritage Trail Dispersed.

Hot springs access: nearby. The Pahvant area connects to thermal features popular with campers. "Very unique and cool spot. Close to hot pots and great hiking areas," notes another Pahvant Valley visitor.

Creek wading: seasonal water flow. Oak Creek offers water features for cooling off during hot months, though flow varies by season. "Located in a quiet area with plenty of shade. Nice pavilion and pretty clean grounds," reports a summer visitor.

What campers like

Solitude: minimal neighbor interaction. Many dispersed sites around Delta provide isolation from other campers. "Only one other camper has been here in the 5 days that I have been here so far. There are any number of spots along this road that could be used for dispersed camping," notes a reviewer at Whiskey Creek Road - Dispersed Site.

Cell service: unexpected coverage. Despite remote locations, some sites maintain connectivity. One camper at Fish Lake National Forest Campsite reports, "I could hear some road noise, but had 3+ bars of T-mobile 5g service. Not another person in sight except for maybe 2 cars that drove by during the night."

Shade availability: juniper trees. Tree cover provides relief from summer heat. "Super easy access for any car if roads are dry. Lots of places to get back in the junioers a lil and have a nice private place to sleep," notes another Fish Lake National Forest visitor.

Established fire rings: most sites. Many dispersed areas have existing fire containment. "A number of fire pits exist in this area. It is readily apparent that others have stayed here in the past," reports a camper.

What you should know

Road conditions: variable by season. Access to dispersed sites can deteriorate after rain. "The drive in past the pavement was dusty, but not horrific. The road had been graded so there a lot of rocks on the surface of the road. No washboard," reports a camper at Pahvant Valley.

Water availability: limited sources. Most dispersed sites lack water access. "In the summer months, water is scarce so bring water. If the creek is full and running you can simply filter water," advises a West Fork visitor.

Livestock presence: expect company. Free-range cattle frequently share camping areas. A camper at Dispersed West Fork 8 Mile Road notes, "I found a spot on Eight Mile road, just off i-15, near the east side of the national forest. Not another person in sight except for maybe 2 cars that drove by during the night. Plenty of cows and cow patties around though!"

Fire restrictions: seasonal changes. Check current regulations before planning campfires. "There is a lot of fallen pine and juniper wood there to use for building fires. Just remember to drown out your fires with water," advises a Fish Lake camper.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly hiking: age-appropriate trails. Younger children can manage some local trails with proper planning. "Was able to hike in with my 8 year old, and he loved it. Great secluded dispersed spot for wildlife watching," shares a West Fork visitor.

Dog-friendly areas: voice control needed. Most dispersed camping near Delta welcomes pets, especially along Eight Mile Road where open spaces provide room for dogs. "Stopped for the night no WiFi, loud highway noise, no grass nothing for dogs, nothing for kids," cautions one reviewer about Antelope Valley RV Park, suggesting dispersed options might work better for families with pets.

Space for exploration: natural playgrounds. Children can safely explore certain areas with supervision. "Kids enjoyed exploring and climbing the small trees. Previous campers made fire pits. No one to be seen for miles," notes a family at Whiskey Creek Road.

Camping on a budget: free options. Many dog-friendly campgrounds near Delta cost nothing. "This is a large, nicely kept, clean RV park with water, electrical 30 amp and 50 amp and sewer. Showers are available at no cost and laundry is available for $2.50 per wash and $2.50 per dry," notes an Antelope Valley RV Park visitor describing a paid alternative.

Tips from RVers

Size limitations: dispersed areas. Most off-grid sites accommodate smaller rigs. "Campers, RVs, and people with tents can easily use this site. No facilities," notes a reviewer about Sandy Lot dispersed camping.

Hookup options: limited outside parks. For utilities, established campgrounds are necessary. "The biggest problem is using the laundry. It's necessary to download an app which is complicated and irritating then you have to load the app with money," reports an Antelope Valley visitor.

Campsite selection: road clearance. Some roads narrow significantly. "The farther you go along the road the rougher it gets," warns a camper about Whiskey Creek Road.

Level parking: search required. Finding flat spots for trailers requires scouting. "The campsite was fine. Just a few trees to keep us company. Bronco towing a Lance 1475," notes a camper describing their setup at Oasis Campground — Yuba State Park.
