Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a developed campground. In some popular dispersed camping areas, camping is limited to designated sites only. Dispersed camping is free, therefore no services; such as trash removal, and little or no facilities; such as tables and fire pits, are provided.  

There are extra responsibilities and skills that are necessary for dispersed camping. It is your responsibility to know these before you go camping. Camping rules and regulations apply to make your experience safe and to keep the natural resources scenic and unspoiled for other campers.

While hunting is not permitted within Duck Creek Village, it is legal in Dixie National Forest. Hunting has been practiced for generations on Forest Service land. However, it’s more than a traditional pastime. Hunting also has an ecological benefit as it’s one of many ways in which wildlife managers are able to keep wildlife populations in balance with the animal’s habitat, human development and the natality and mortality of the animals. Hunting is managed by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. For information on seasons, licenses and other details, check their website www.wildlife.utah.gov/hunting or call their toll-free hotline at 1-877-592-5169.

Duck Creek Village is situated along the border of Dixie National Forest. Although Dixie National Forest consists of almost two million acres and is the largest national forest in Utah, Duck Creek Village is near the higher elevations of the Forest where the terrain boasts aspens, pine and spruce trees making up our breathtaking mountain landscape. With immediate proximity to the national forest, we have an abundance of improved trails for a variety of outdoor activities. You will find well maintained and marked hiking, mountain biking ATV trails throughout our area. Most of these same trails are utilized in the winter months for X-Country Skiing and snowmobiling. Some of our more unusual sights to see include, caves, lava fields, and Anasazi ruins. Camping, horseback riding, and photography are just a few of the many other activities available.  MORE INFO
