Campground. Located in Clear Creek Canyon and very easily accessed from Exit 17 on I-70. A small creek runs through the campground, there are no fish. This campground is operated under permit by the nearby Fremont Indian State Park. There are trails for hiking and access to ATV trails. Common vegetation in the area includes cottonwood, pinion, juniper and Ponderosa pine trees. This campground is open to ATV use. On the northwest corner of the campground is an ATV trail that will take you around the hill to access the Pauite ATV 01 trail. This trail leaves directly from the campground to the Main Paiute ATV trail in Dry Canyon, then south to Big Johns Flat and ultimately to Circleville. Big Johns Flat and Circleville are only accessible from this area from late July to the first of October due to snow drifts in the upper elevations. Another trail goes north to the Pahvant Range and Fillmore.

Castle Rock Campground — Fremont Indian State Park

It's first come first serve. We called Fremont Indian State Park rangers to see if there were any open spots. They were very helpful and friendly. We stopped here on our way from Denver to LA, so it worked out perfect for us that it was located right off I-70, less than a mile off the freeway. But since it's right off the freeway, it's remote from everything like stores, gas stations, or restaurants. 

The campsites were very clean and the toilets were well maintained as well. A lot of the sites were very close to the toilet. Each site was huge and had tons of shades. Also, each site is very far from one another, so you have plenty of privacy. Fifteen dollars for a site. A lot of the sites were for double RV occupancy. 

There are lots of cool trails leading up to the castle rock perfect for a little hiking as well as water streams, all over the site. There's also the Fremont Indian State Park or Museum near the site to check out. Teepees were also available for thirty bucks for those who want some cool experience. 



Right off I-70, GORGEOUS and SPACIOUS campsites 

Castle Rock campground in Fishlake National forest is one of two campgrounds that serve Utah's Fremont Indian State Park, with both administration and reservations handled through the Utah State Park system. When I visited it was both very clean and very well maintained. Despite being close to the interstate, it is far enough up a side canyon that you do not hear the traffic on the road. It feels like being much further from civilization.

  

There are 44 camp sites available, many alongside the creek that flows through the campground. About 2/3 are reservable, the rest are available daily as FCFS. Two have teepees for those lacking a tent. Several are double sites for larger groups, and there are a variety of pull through vs in/out options.  

  

There is available potable water at several locations around the campground, and two restroom facilities - a full flush unit near the center of the grounds, and a double pit at the south end of the loop.  

  

Every site has a fire pit, an elevated grill, and a picnic table.  

  

There is an access road from the campground to the Paiute ATV trail. For hikers, the south end of the campground is the north origin of the Joe Lott Trail that heads into the Fishlake National Forest. The facilities of Fremont Indian State Park are about 1/2 mile away, on the opposite side of I-70, and include a small museum of Fremont life, and a variety of improved and unimproved trails leading to many rock art sites.

Comfortable campground close to I-70

Got to stay in a rad tipi site for only $30! They had firewood available by the bundle for $5/armload. Tent sites are $15 and extra cars are $10. It's about a mile from the Fremont Indian State Park and the surrounding area is pure magic.

Most Inexpensive Tipi I've Seen

The campground is very nice.  It is gravel with fire pits and tables.  There are also tipis that can be rented.  You are close to the Fremont Indian exhibit and trails.  There is also a nice trail that leads up into the Fishlake National Forest.

  

Lots to see!  There are red rock pillars, yellow aspen and native american art.

Lots to do here

We stayed at site CA23, a dispersed site. There were plenty of water taps around the campground to fill up jugs if need be, along with a bucket and shovel at each spigot to use for your fire pit. Lots of neat trails and hikes, Petroglyphs too. Visitor center has an education center that looked promising but is currently closed due to COVID. We’d stay here again without a second thought!

Great Campground right of I70

This was one of the prettiest campgrounds we stayed at during a 7 week camping trip. It is located within the boundaries of Fremont Indian State Park near I-70 up a graded gravel road north of I-70. This is not to be confused with the one for RVs on the north side of I-70. 

We were treated to flush toilets, garbage center (you have to throw your garbage bag up into the large container), potable water and jaw dropping scenery and camping sites. Fremont Indian State Park has a visitor center and 697 Native American rock art panels. This campground is also a place to camp for enthusiasts of the Paiute Trail, a large network of ATV trails as it had a trail near the northern end of the campground. 

Our 24’ pop up truck camper fit just fine and had enough room for my sister’s SUV. We will return here as it was such a pretty place. 

One of our favorite discoveries

Family stopped to check out on the 3rd of July and there were many open spots. Had a 29' toy hauler and the roads in camp were good for us. There were a few pull through spots that made it easy. 

Great view, quiet, and relaxing 

Tent camping at site 23. $20 for a tent site ($40 for a double site). Cool area to explore. Fire pit and a faucet with a bucket. Bathrooms close by. $5 for a bundle of wood. Nice little spot!

Cozy and quiet.

Stopped here for the night traveling between Moab and Las Vegas after a day of exploring the San Rafeal Swell.  This is a great campsite to hang out for a night.  Pads a are well established and there are sites big enough for more than one vehicle (we had two and a trailer).  Great hiking trails right out the back of the campground
