Driving directionsFrom Duchesne, Utah: Take Highway 87 north for 15 miles to the Mountain Home turnoff. Turn left and continue 2.5 miles north to the Rock Creek Store. Turn left toward Rock Creek Canyon and proceed approximately 15 miles to the campground. You'll see a sign for Miners Gulch and a dirt road immediately after it. Do not take the dirt road. The campground turnoff is paved and is a few hundred yards after the sign.
The campground is accessible via paved roads; however, visitors need to ensure they identify the correct turnoff as the dirt road near the sign is misleading. Roads are generally in good condition.

Best Time to Camp at Miners Gulch

The mountain climate here tells a story of dramatic seasonal transitions. Summer days bring warm sunshine and crystalline blue skies that seem to stretch forever, while evenings cool down to perfect campfire temperatures. As autumn approaches, crisp air carries the scent of changing aspens. Winter transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland, with temperatures plunging below freezing and heavy snowfall creating a pristine white blanket across the wilderness. Spring emerges with unpredictable charm, alternating between lingering snow showers and the first warm rays that coax wildflowers from their winter slumber.
