Yes, water faucets are found throughout the main park area and it is safe to drink and use for your culinary needs.

Have a Camp Pass? If you have a camp pass from anywhere in the park, you can fill your tanks at the main area for no extra cost.

Have an Annual Pass?  Annual and day-use passes allow for normal personal water use but do not permit filling large water tanks or other large-capacity containers.

Water not offered for residential use, outside of park. We do not offer water for residential use outside of the park no matter what the size of your container is. If you need water for residential purposes you can go to the Duchesne City Offices and set up an account with them.

All vehicles that enter the park must pay a fee.

No more than 2 vehicles: We allow no more than two vehicles per campsite if there is room and you don’t exceed the 8 person limit on each site.

No room, park in the upper parking lots: If there is no room on the site you can park your extra vehicle/boats/etc., in our upper parking lots. These parking areas are located above the boat ramp near the park’s headquarters and Mountain View Campground.

No Parking on the Road: If you are parked in the road as to create a hazard, on the grass or another area not designated for vehicles, then you need to move your vehicle to one of the large parking lots.

Cabins: The cabins have room for two vehicles and you actually pay for both when you make a reservation.

From May 1st to October 1st, the main entrance booth at Starvation is manned so you can talk with a worker there to get your boat inspected and washed if needed.

Off-Season Recommendations: In the off-season, our suggestion is that you call several days or more in advance and make an appointment. If you don’t call ahead, there is no guarantee that anyone will be working at the park on the day of your arrival.
