Planning Tips

About Clover Spring Campground

Clover Spring Campground sits in mid-elevation forest near Rush Valley, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. A spring-fed stream runs through the property, drawing campers who value seclusion and wildlife viewing over developed amenities. The small campground accommodates tents, RVs, and primitive camping, with vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables as the only facilities.

Clover Spring Campground offers primitive camping with first-come, first-served individual sites and one reservable group site. Equestrian camping is supported with two dedicated sites.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground's namesake spring emerges from the mountain bedrock and creates a reliable stream that flows through the valley floor. Cottonwoods and mixed forest cover the site, with forested peaks rising to the west and north. Ancient rock formations appear in breaks through the tree line. The stream is the main draw, and sites near it fill first. At 6,000 feet, the air stays cool even in summer, and morning mist often settles in the canyon.

Lodging & AccommodationsThere are no additional lodging accommodations such as cabins or lodges at this campground.
