About this place
Camping on the south side of Quail Creek Reservoir is allowed at eight sites. Each site has a picnic table and a metal fire ring.
Sites go first come, first served. The limit is one night.
There is a portable toilet on site. There is also a dumpster, and that is unusual out here, so you need not carry your trash home.
The reservoir is right there, and there are miles of non-motorized trails nearby for walking and riding.
The Washington County Water Conservancy District provides the camping, working with the Bureau of Land Management.
Park, camp and keep your activity on hard ground, because the plants and the fragile soil crust here do not recover quickly.
Fire restrictions change, and checking the current ones is on you. Campfires go in the steel fire rings and nowhere else. Never leave one unattended, and make sure it is dead out before you go.

Every distance on this page is the driving distance. A short distance can still take a long time. The road may be closed for the season, covered in snow, or washed out. Many of these roads are dirt. Plan your route before you leave home. Out here there is often no phone signal to look it up on the way.
Nearest town and supplies
- Hurricane, UT Directions
Hurricane is big enough that you’d normally expect fuel and somewhere to buy food. Nobody from here has been to check, so don’t count on it if you’re running low.

The thing we cannot get from any government record is what the drive in is actually like. If you have done it, this is the most useful thing you can leave behind. We read everything before it appears, and we print a first name with it if you give one.
Thank you. A person will read it before it goes on the page.
