Campsites are available on a first come, first served basis upon arrival at the self-register kiosk at the site. The Indian Creek area is generally primitive and undeveloped, with few services.
Recreation
The Indian Creek area of Bears Ears National Monument has gained international recognition for its extraordinary natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The Indian Creek canyon opens to a broad valley rimmed by Wingate Sandstone cliffs known for world-class rock climbing. Prominent geologic features include Lavender Mesa, Bridger Jack Mesa, and North and South Six Shooter Peaks. This spectacular setting and rich archeological resources provide visitors with recreational opportunities such as rock climbing, camping, cultural resource viewing, scenic photography, and off-highway vehicle (OHV) touring on designated routes.
Natural Features
The campsites are situated at the base of the Hamburger Rock geologic feature, a red sandstone monolith. A few of the sites are shaded by small juniper trees, but most are shaded only by the rock itself.
