From the official listing description, directions and rules

Curlew Campground is located just seven miles north of Snowville, Utah, and fewer than 10 miles south of Holbrook, Idaho. The campground is adjacent to Stone Reservoir in the Curlew National Grassland. It sits at an elevation of 4,700 feet.

Recreation

Stone Reservoir is closed to all motor crafts, boats and water crafts do to invasive spieces.

The surrounding area is crisscrossed by numerous off-road vehicle trails. Horseback riding is allowed on the open range.

Facilities

The campground is open year-round and contains one large group site that can accommodate up to 200 people. A picnic shelter, picnic and serving tables, grills, campfire rings, and cement site pad and horseshoe pits are provided. Several single sites and one triple-family campsite, and vault toilets are available. Each individual campsite is equipped with tables, campfire rings and grills. Most sites have small picnic shelters for shade. Site 14 is accessible, with a cement site pad and paved parking spur.

The campground has first-come, first-serve campsites and reservable campsites. Visitors can check the kiosk board for available campsites, check if the campsite is occupied, and if available pay at the fee tube.

There are no electric, water or sewer site hookups. The road within the campground is paved and parking spurs, unless otherwise noted, are gravel. Security is provided by the hosta and periodic patrols by the county sheriff.
