About this campground
Gather your tribe at Superbowl Group Site, where adventure meets community in the heart of Utah's canyon country. This spacious wilderness retreat welcomes groups of 10 to 30 adventurers, perfectly positioned as your basecamp for exploring the legendary Indian Creek recreation areas and the awe-inspiring Canyonlands National Park. While the amenities embrace simplicity—picnic tables scattered beneath protective shade structures, a central fire ring for evening gatherings, and clean vault toilets—the real luxury here is the unparalleled access to some of the Southwest's most spectacular landscapes.
The Superbowl Group Site caters to group campers, providing a designated site within a primitive setting. The campground supports tent and trailer camping but lacks facilities for RV hookups or glamping.
Historical SignificanceYou're camping in a living museum where ancient voices still whisper through the canyons. Just a short journey away, the famous Newspaper Rock stands as a testament to thousands of years of human stories, its surface adorned with petroglyphs that chronicle the lives of those who called this land home long before us. The surrounding Indian Creek area harbors countless archaeological treasures, each one a thread in the rich tapestry of Indigenous culture that has shaped this sacred landscape for millennia.
Weather and SeasonsMother Nature paints with bold strokes in this high desert sanctuary, where each season brings its own dramatic personality. Summer blazes with intensity, demanding early morning adventures and lazy afternoon siestas in the shade. Winter transforms the landscape into a crystalline wonderland, with temperatures that can plunge below freezing under star-studded skies. But it's during the magical shoulder seasons—the wildflower-kissed springs and golden-hued autumns—when this campground truly shines, offering perfect temperatures for exploration and some of the clearest skies you'll ever sleep under.
ElevationElevation information is not provided.
Natural Features and SceneryWake up to a landscape that seems pulled from the pages of a geology textbook brought vividly to life. Indian Creek meanders nearby, its waters ebbing and flowing with the rhythms of the seasons, while ancient cottonwoods stand sentinel, their broad canopies offering welcome respite from the desert sun. The horizon erupts with the dramatic profiles of Wingate Sandstone cliffs, their red-orange faces glowing like embers at sunrise and sunset. In the distance, the twin sentinels of North and South Six Shooter peaks pierce the sky, standing guard over this enchanted terrain of mesas, canyons, and endless photographic opportunities.
Geological RegionWelcome to the geological wonderland of Indian Creek, nestled within the magnificent Bears Ears National Monument. This is where Earth's autobiography is written in stone—layer upon layer of Wingate Sandstone cliffs that glow with an inner fire when kissed by the desert sun. The landscape reads like a dramatic novel, with towering mesas serving as chapters and the iconic Six Shooter Peaks punctuating the skyline like exclamation points. From the expansive views atop Lavender Mesa to the intimate canyon alcoves below, you're surrounded by millions of years of planetary artistry that continues to inspire climbers, photographers, and dreamers from around the world.
Campsite details
AccessibilityThe site includes accessible campsites, picnic shelters, parking, and picnic areas.
Sites SizeThe group site can accommodate up to 30 people and 10 vehicles (a vehicle and trailer count as two vehicles). However, user reviews indicate that the site may struggle to practically accommodate the maximum capacity. 'There is really only room for 3-5 two-person tents and maybe 3 closely-parked car/van campers at MAX.'
Sites PrivacyPrivacy is moderate. The group site is located in the northeastern corner of the campground and has other campsites beyond it, which may lead to some through-traffic. 'The location within the campground is also a bit awkward, as there are two campsites beyond the group site - so if you don't reserve those campsites, you will have folks driving through your site.'
