Starr Springs

There's a neat BLM campground at the foot of the Henry Mountains called Starr Springs campground. It's named after a rancher who lived in the area a long time ago. You can go see the ruins of his home near the campground, but unfortunately I don't have a picture of that, so you will just have to go see it yourself. Pretty cool.

Successive ridges south of Hanksville heading towards the Henry Mountains.

Our campsite. It was late winter/early spring when we went, so there were no leaves, but I'm sure this place is more beautiful in the summer. As you can see, there were lots of places for hammocks. All of the sites looked more or less like this picture. Not pictured are the driveway and picnic table. Also, this campground had the best-smelling pit toilet I've ever seen, so bonus points for that.

There were some cool views from this campground of the mountains and the surrounding desert. A very remote but very beautiful place. The campground had a nature trail that we didn't explore, but that would probably make for a good evening activity some other time.

This campground has a $20 fee. Bring cash. We were the only ones in the campground, although it was early March and I imagine it is a bit more busy in the warmer months. Probably still very quiet and peaceful though.
