This campground is part of the Campgrounds & RV Parks category, providing a unique opportunity to connect with nature while enjoying basic amenities and services tailored to dispersed camping enthusiasts.

Located at FR 068 in Duck Creek Village, Utah, this camping area is a hidden gem for those who appreciate remote locations and stunning natural beauty. The site is situated in a mountainous region, surrounded by dense forests, crystal-clear streams, and breathtaking vistas. It’s an ideal spot for fishing, hiking, photography, and simply soaking in the tranquility of nature.

One of the standout features of Mammoth Designated Dispersed Camping Area is its primitive camping experience.

Customers who have visited this camping area frequently praise its beauty and privacy.

Beautiful secluded spot for dispersed camping. Some designated spots are *right* on the creek. There is absolutely no cell service down there, though. If Google maps is suggesting a longer route that says “best route”, take it to avoid the rocky steep descent from the Panguitch Lake side. It might take 15 extra minutes but will save your car. Fire rings, picnic tables, and a vault toilet a short walk away!

Beautiful and private! The road coming in is dirt, rocky, and somewhat steep. That being said, we had no trouble in our extra long Ford Transit and car hauler. Just take it slow. You'll see sites 3 and up first. I personally think sites 1+2 are prettier, just a little further down the road. We stayed in site 5, has a nice pull around so we didn't have to back up the trailer.

The road down is narrow and a little bit heart stopping, but keep going. We were in a truck and were doubting if we will make it down. Then we saw another truck coming up and figured we can give it a try. There were some people camping and some of them drove down in their cars, so I guess go for it even in a car. The stream is right by the campsite. It's very pretty. We were only scouting the place to see if we want to come camp here later in the summer and we liked it.

Well the drive was interesting to say the least . We drove down a dirt road for miles . I would definitely recommend an RV or truck . But my little Altima made it ... We got there late around 11 and didn't think we had neighbors so we were blasting radio .and lights. Sorry neighbors this was our first camping trip. But we got the first spot and it was big And clean!! In the morning we found out that we were literally right next to a stream!! That made the drive worth it!! It's beautiful. We weren't prepared for the extremely cold temps . After all we are from Vegas . There are out houses and trails to hike. I would definitely recommend this free campsite !!!

Didn't camp, but did have lunch here. If we had brought the camper this would have been our spot for our visit. In between Zion and Bryce, more affordable than any other place. Peaceful stream right by the campsite. Quiet and respectful neighbors. Lots of room for the kids to run and explore. Kind a long way to get to, but so worth it.
