About this campground
The Red Creek Badlands WSA encompasses 8,020 acres of BLM-administered land and 640 acres of state land. The study area is a fragile watershed and contains highly erodible red shales and sandstones. Vegetation consists primarily of greasewood in the draws, sagebrush on the beach areas, and juniper on the upper slopes. The WSA offers a variety of opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation. Activities including wildlife observation, hiking, horseback riding and rock hounding occur on a limited basis, however. The primary recreation use in the area is hunting. Off-road vehicle use is mainly restricted to hunting activities. This is a fee-free site. Sections of the boundary are ADA accessible.
