Starr Springs Campground

Would you expect a campground perched at the southern tip of Utah's Henry Mountains to combine breathtaking remote isolation with a rich geological story? Starr Springs Campground delivers exactly that, set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Hillers and its towering 10,723-foot peak.

This Bureau of Land Management campground features 12 individual campsites and a spacious group site, all equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. A well-maintained nature trail meanders through the area, offering visitors a chance to explore. While potable water and restrooms are available, it's essential to bring additional water, as the area is arid and remote. The campground’s 6,300-foot elevation offers a cooler reprieve in summer, making it a fitting choice for geology enthusiasts, hunters, and those seeking solitude amid untamed landscapes.

Located about 27 miles south of Hanksville and a short distance from the historic Starr Ranch site, this campground provides a direct connection to the Henry Mountains' rugged beauty. Visitors can take in panoramic views of nearby mesas, search for traces of its mining history, or look for the region’s famed free-ranging bison herd. This hidden gem is perfect for weekend retreats or exploratory adventures in one of Utah's most pristine corners.
