Small Beautiful Campground

This BLM recreation area is the trail head for the Lower Calf Creek Falls trail (6 miles round trip) as well as the campground. There’s a day use area as well for $5/vehicle. 

Camping is $15/night. It's a small campground, and most of the sites were occupied when we arrived. There were a couple available that were too small for us, and even too small for another truck camper that was looking for a spot. We spoke to the host and he said that staying in the parking lot is an option (for the same cost), or we could park in the parking lot and walk over to tent camp in one of the open spots.  We ended up staying the night in the parking lot, and so did some other campers.  We hiked to the falls in the morning and left before our big class c could cause issues for other visitors in the parking lot.  The hike is really beautiful, and there's lots to see along the way to the falls.

There is also a hiker/biker camping area, but surprisingly it costs the same as a regular camp site. There’s also a group area that’s available for day use if not reserved. 

The parking lot has flush toilets, and there are vault toilets in the camp area. There are drinking water spigots throughout the campground. There is no trash service here. 

Firewood available for $5/bundle. Note that to get to the camp area, we had to drive across a creek, which was not a problem but just be aware and take it slow. We scraped a bit coming back over it. 

No cell reception in this entire area, and the cell booster did not help us. Vehicle length limit is 25ft, due to the tight spaces and turnaround and the dip of the creek.  We are in a 26ft class c, and managed, but it was tight.
