Te-Ah

Te-Ah Campground is located 28 miles east of Cedar City, Utah, in the scenic Navajo Lake Basin. Touring bicycle groups commonly use Te-Ah as a stopover on their way through this beautiful corner of Utah, and fishing and canoeing on Navajo Lake are popular activities. Navajo Lake offers great canoeing, kayaking and fishing, and hiking and biking are popular activities as well. The Cascade Falls Trailhead is located in the campground; this beautiful trail has abundant wildlife and vegetation. The 34-mile Virgin River Rim Trail passes near the campground and is open to hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Te-Ah offers 41 single sites with picnic tables and campfire rings. One group site (#33) is available for a group size of up to 20 people, providing tables, bicycle wash and parking racks and a workspace for self-contained kitchens. Flush and vault toilets are provided and drinking water is piped from a spring. A newly paved road skirts the shoreline of Navajo Lake and leads to Te-Ah on the lake's western edge, allowing good access for cars, trailers and bicycles. OHVs and ATVs, including street legal ones, are not allowed in the campground and must be trailered in and out. The campground is situated on the edge of a meadow high on the Colorado Plateau at an elevation of 9,200 feet. An aspen forest covers the campground, and Navajo Lake can be viewed in the distance from several sites. Boat rentals, a boat ramp, lodging and supplies are available at nearby Navajo Lake Lodge. Duck Creek Pond is eight miles east and is great for fishing with the kids, as is the Duck Creek Visitor Center. Cascade Falls, Ice Cave and Mammoth Cave are also nearby favorites. Cedar Breaks National Monument is a short 20 minute drive, with hiking trails, guided tours and breathtaking scenery, and just outside Cedar Breaks is the Ashdown Gorge Wilderness Area, where hikers will find 10 miles of trails and the Twisted Forest, a stand of ancient bristlecone pine.
