City Creek Campground

Overview
City Creek Campground is located on the Beaver Ranger District approximately 6 miles northwest of the town of Junction, Utah. Five campsites are available with picnic tables and fire pits. City Creek campground sites are not reservable and are available for use on a first-come-first-serve basis. The campground is ideal for larger groups, and features a group area with a fire pit, picnic area and amphitheater. Trailers are not recommended in the campground as the campsites are fairly small. There are a few pull-outs located along FR-131 that can be used for dispersed trailer camping nearby. 

Facilities
The campground has 1 vault toilet bathroom. No water is available. 

Natural Features
Cottonwood trees canopy the campsites, and the sound of trickling water can be heard from most locations as City Creek weaves along-side the campground. This creek is primarily a rainbow trout fishery. Common vegetation includes cottonwood, ponderosa pine, pinyon and juniper trees. Special Features: Rainbow trout are occasionally stocked in the creek near the campground area. Both forks of City Creek support trout populations, with the most success found on the south fork. 

Recreation
There are hiking or horseback opportunities on trails going up both the North and South Fork of City Creek. The campground allows OHV/ATV access to trails directly from camp. Riders can head north on jeep trails or go southeast out of the campground and access the Paiute ATV Trail. The Paiute Trail will take riders through Oak and Cottonwood Basins then tie into additional trails at the top of the mountain.
