Camp at Simpson Springs Campground, Utah
Campground situated at an important station site along the Pony Express National Historic Trail's route across the Utah west desert. During 1860 and 1861, horse riders risked their lives delivering the mail along this route. Today, you can stop at stations and interpretive sites along the Backcountry Byway where riders rested before they raced on to their 1,800-mile mail run. Simpson Springs was also the site of a significant Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp during the late 30s and early 40s. You can spend the night in this stark and beautiful desert setting, and sleep under the same stars that the Pony Express riders did 150 years ago.
Camping, hiking, picnicking, mountain biking, horseback riding, wild horse viewing, scenic backcountry byway, Pony Express Interpretive Site/Trail.
20 individual units with picnic tables, fire pits, and charcoal grills; vault toilets. Potable water available March-November annually.
