"It must be the best kept secret in western Utah for camping.
Oak Creek campground is located four miles east of Oak City, Utah. It is nestled in a canyon in the Fishlake National Forest."
"It's tucked away on Boulder Mountain and if you're not looking for it, you might pass it up. It's immaculate, great hosts, and quiet."
$40 - $100 / night
"Place really gave that “middle of nowhere feel”, lake and surrounding area were beautiful. Campsites were simple and bathrooms were nice."
"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."
"As I was laying in my sleeping bag inside my tent around 11pm, some creature started stalking me around midnight. I could hear it moving and breathing outside my tent."
"Really quiet despite being so close to the interstate"
"You simply follow the river up the canyon, and choose from any of the small flat locations for tent camping, or pick a couple trees to hang a hammock. Choices are abundant."
"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. "
"The area is beautiful with lots of cattle around. We pulled into this spot at around 5pm. We saw two spots in total right next to each other but there may be more a bit up the road."
"I found a spot on Eight Mile road, just off i-15, near the east side of the national forest. I drove up the dirt road for a while until I found a nice flat spot for the night. "
"This site is located on the northerly side of the road. A number of fire pits exist in this area. It is readily apparent that others have stayed here in the past and it is a popular spot."
$50 - $65 / night
"Clean friendly love Delta Utah inexpensive"

"Close proximity to the water, newer facilities at each site. We appreciated the shade over each table! The food prep table was a nice touch."
"We chose site 15 having never been here before because it was close to a restroom and we have a toddler. During our stay there was only one other person in the campground and it was quiet."
ScoutLocated in a quiet area with plenty of shade. Nice pavilion and pretty clean grounds (at least when I visited). The main two things I didn't like was that the water from the in-ground spigots smelled and tasted like pool water and was also not ice cold (I love nice, ice-cold drinking water). The tap water in the bathroom also smelled like pool water. Otherwise, it's pretty nice.
Traveler3 pools total, but only one just above warm temperature. Each pool also has fish, which is a sight to be seen. The pools are amazing to look at and there are trash cans that are here next to each.
RangerNice little campground close to I-15, stayed here in June 2021 quiet comfortable night.
GuideThis was mom’s (me) first camping trip, ever! My son and I found this gem in late March (opening day 3/21) for FF (that’s first come first served). We didn’t realize it was still covered in snow. I drive a Subaru outback AWD and still needed to stop and put on the chains. But totally worth it! We parked in front of the campsite (which had a picnic table, fire pit, and grill), dug out a footprint for our tent in the snow, built a fire and had the place to ourselves. Though it got pretty cold my son had thought ahead and brought zero degree sleeping bags. Slept like a baby! The views and the coolness of the canyon were just incredible. We’ve tried to go back over a weekend in the later spring and summer, but it’s a rock climbers paradise and now you need reservations on the weekend. Will definitely go back in the fall and will plan ahead and reserve a spot. My son is an outdoor climber (I belay) and he’s looking forward to the climbs!
ScoutBOONDOCKING! Wide open meadow. Set back from the road. Access to a "hollow" with a high bank that's perfect for target practice of any kind. It's a bit of a walk to the creek for water, so bring lots. No toilets, so bring your own or be prepared to dig a latrine. Lots of afternoon shade.
GuideSuper relaxing hot spring with a few other springs at decent temperatures. Road is bumpy and may be difficult for cars to get back to the main spring but you can always park and walk. Be sure not to leave any trash as this is private property owned by super nice people!
ScoutThis was our first time boondocking and this spot did not disappoint! It’s convenient to I-70 but feels very remote. We passed one other camper on the way in. There was a spot on the left that would have had awesome sunset views, but we took the next one on the right. It had a pull through and trees and was a bit more private, although no privacy needed as we didn’t see a soul. We took a short walk and did encounter a small herd of cows near the road. It was perfect!
LegendThe arrival experience was pleasant with check in. Nice ladies. Wide and long pull throughs were asphalt, more than enough room. Trash dumpsters were few, one stacked to the top. Nice views overall. A nice stop for us.
TravelerWe loved this campsite. It was a little bit of a drive to get to, on some dirt and gravel roads, but not a bad drive at all. We loved how dispersed and far away the campsites were. There were cows roaming around the spot we picked. There were beautiful views! It was a perfect spot. Temperature June 12th was about 95 degrees but the wind helped offset some of the heat. At night it got down to 63 degrees.
