Birch Creek Campground is a Bureau of Land Management campground in Utah, about 8 miles from the town of Wahsatch. It is a base for overnight stays rather than a route with a set climb or distance, and it is not a reservable site, so plan on arriving and setting up camp without a reservation. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 82°F with lows near 53°F, while winter highs stay around 30°F with lows in the teens. Paddlers will find Saleratus Creek about 6.5 miles away and Dry Creek about 10 miles away, both canoeing spots.
