Because these springs reside on private property, please read and obey posted signs, respect the area and use it responsibly. In other words, pack out what you pack in.
There is a short half-mile hike to get to the springs. The water is clear and deep with temperatures hovering at about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. It is accessible year round and dog-friendly.
For the more hearty camper, or for those that wish to get away from the crowds, the dispersed, or undeveloped camp areas are for you. Of course visitors can camp nearly anywhere on the national forest, just make sure if you pack it in, you pack it out.

Otter Creek has an activity for almost everyone. The cold, clear water of this large reservoir offers year-round fishing for rainbow trout. For wildlife watchers, numerous waterfowl, raptors, deer, antelope, and elk abound. If you re an ATV rider, you ll want to try the Paiute ATV trail, which can be accessed from here. The primary activities are fishing and boating although it also serves as a regional staging site for extended and day trips into the surrounding National Forest, Utah State Lands and BLM managed lands by horse, foot, and vehicle. The Richfield Field Office manages day use facilities, dispersed and primitive camping facilities, and fishing access to the Reservoir at Fisherman's Beach, Tamarisk Point, and South Point along the west side of the reservoir. There is no potable water but picnic tables and pit toilets are available. Otter Creek Reservoir is located at the southeastern corner of Paiute County near the town of Antimony. A Utah State Park is located at the south end and provides well developed facilities, while the Richfield BLM maintains several semi-primitive sites along the west side of the lake and dispersed use is available on the east side of the reservoir. The main attraction is fishing and camping. The lands are sagebrush steppe. The Parker Mountains are located to the east, Monroe Mountain and Kingston canyon to the west of the lake, and the Sevier Plateau is to the southwest.

This spot is just into the Fishlake National Forest. There is nothing fancy about this location. It is just a grassy spot along the road as you start following the road into the national forest. There may very well be cattle in the area and that will depend on the time of the year. But, it would make a great base camp from which to ATV or ride horses.

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. Good 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. The farther you go along the road the rougher it gets. I was able to find a lot of small sticks that had fallen off the trees to be able to use in my wood stove in a wall tent. It is about 5 and a 1/2 miles to the end of the road up the Canyon.
TravelerI 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.
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. Plenty of cows and cow patties around though!
Bonus: Eight mile road was a shortcut to westbound highway 50 and a nice way to start the drive in the morning.

Beautiful lake in Piute County near Antimony Utah. Large, level spot less than 6 yards from the water. A few large trees provide nice shade. There was even a picnic table.
Decent gravel roads made access easy. There were 3 different vault toilet locations nearby. Otter Creek State Park as well as a couple of RV parks and a store with a cafe are at one end of the lake.
Went kayaking at sunrise, the water was warm and smooth as glass! Be careful finding the right area to put in your kayak. We chose to do so along the shoreline near where we were camped, but sunk mid-calf in mud at the water's edge.
Saw lots of fish jumping in the water as well as ducks, gulls, geese, pelicans and more. Watched a deer stop by for a drink and a cow cross my camping spot.
The downside was pretty much no cell phone coverage.
Guide
There are 3 natural hot spring bath tubes on a private property in the meadows. Camping among the cows and having a bath in a natural hot tub while the sun is rising - it's a dream. There are a some camping spots around the springs and a sign that says "Enjoy and please donate" so the visit is by donation and not paying. The road to the hot tubs is very bumpy and mudy after a rain, better walk in. A very beautiful stop when you tired out from driving.
TravelerWonderfully place for a night, Isolated and easy access. The coordinates are not correct, it s on the side of the lake, here are the one we used : 38.224007, -111.979199

Just needed to find a place for the night and this was perfect! No one around, huge site, beautiful views and free! Cows meander around the campsite..didn't bother us. If you go past where the directions take you, there are 3 or 4 spots that are also nice. Road is easy to travel.
Legend
If you’re looking for a fun backpacking camping trip where you’re guaranteed to see tons of wildlife, this is it. Not only will you avoid the crowded campgrounds, but you’ll be able to do it without hiking a million miles from your vehicle.
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, or pick a couple trees to hang a hammock. Choices are abundant. In the summer months, water is scarce so bring water. If the creek is full and running you can simply filter water.
There is a beautiful meadow area at the top of the trail before you begin to descend down the other side (another beautiful area).
Was able to hike in with my 8 year old, and he loved it. Great secluded dispersed spot for wildlife watching.
Guide
Stayed here after missing exit for Castle Rock Campground. Access dispersed area by taking Clear Creek Rd exit. There are some spots right after exiting hwy. We keep going back under the underpass and then took the left at the Y. Little rough dirt road if you have a car. We found a previously used spot with a rock fire pit. Surprisingly very clean. Thanks everyone for packing it out! Several ATVs further down the road. Although close to hwy we could barely hear anything at night. There was also a small creek. Pretty nice overnight spot when it gets late and you don’t want an RV Park.

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. Campsite was fine. Just a few trees to keep us company. Bronco towing a Lance 1475.
RangerNot really a camp ground, but we pulled in here late and spent the night. Nice bathrooms, free parking. Between Zion & Bryce
GuideThe owner of this property has graciously allowed people to stay here for free. Please leave with more trash than you came with.
Hot Spring was a little walk, but perfect.
Scout

Pros:
No one else there
Vast huge area
Nice mountain view
Nice breeze
Good temp in June
Beautiful night sky
Quiet enough in eve and early AM
Not many bugs
Super close to highway, right there
Flat!
Cons:
Some trash left behind in some areas
A highway patrol and dune buggy whizzed by next day super loud. There are giant mounds of gravel the dune buggy rides. We were there sleeping til 12pm tho so prob fine if u leave at a decent AM time
Could hear the highway slightly, not enough i needed ear plugs tho and Im sensitive to sound when sleeping
Got hot during day til 12pm
Its gravel
Not super nature-y cuz its all gravel under you and mounds of gravel, good views arnd far away tho
Ranger
While we stayed here in our van without any trouble, there are nicer campgrounds around here.
Still, this was free and quick.
Some traffic even late at night, so only really best for van/car sleeping rather than setting up a tent.
Across the street is the lake and there is a store in the same parking lot.
Traveler
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
GuideThe road getting up is about 4 miles of dirt road, 4x4 recommended but i made it up in my prius. There were a few rvs parked earlier down the road with larger trees and less of a view. I had service with verizon, but my friend with sprint had to sprint up the hill to get service. Make sure you bring everything you need, as there are no amenities out here. Primitive and perfect.
Traveler
Beautiful scenery and just right outside of town. Very easy to access for most. I did see an RV camping but it had to be a bit more difficult for them. There are several established places to camp with beautiful views. Very private. Great for mountain biking
TravelerOpen area looks like local party spot, not for RVs. Lots of spots to pitch a tent, established fire pits. Not far off the main road. Road goes up past water tower and recommends using 4wd to come up to prevent washboard, but any vehicle with awe would do. No amenities and very private.
Ranger
I hesitate to write a review because of how special this place is. Big lake and deep lake are so much fun. Camping here is my all time favorite. Fish, salamanders, cougars, and plenty of elk all over make it a wonderful place to camp.
ScoutLarge, open, flat area with easy access. Trailhead for mountain biking and dirt bike trails.
TravelerOasis!
ScoutWe didn’t camp overnight but we did visit the hot springs. Plan to have a self contained bathroom if you camp because there are no restrooms provided and little to no cover or privacy. Road is pretty bumpy!
GuideGreat spot off 15 to stop for the night.
TravelerGreat spot! The coordinates are incorrect so use the long/lat provided by someone in the comments. Woke up to snow and ducks!
GuideWe didn’t end up staying here because it was so windy, but if there wasn’t wind it would be a great place to stay. Multiple spots available along the river. There did seem to be someone who was living there, but there are spots available away from their spot. Picnic tables available!
ScoutHad some grumpy campers up when we went up
