Capitol Reef National Park

Lots of room and spread out. Had the first night all to ourselves, and the second night only a couple other people. Pretty easy to get our 36ft class A into. Wind could be a factor for tent camping. Definitely would stay again!

Really great spot but way too windy! We ended up packing up and leaving. Roads are ok.

Easy accessible blm land just outside capitol reef np. Great views in every direction. No wood fires permitted

This campground is a little gem. Set amid the orchards developed by Mormon pioneers in 1880 it offers easy access to all Capitol Reef offers: history and the beauty of the outdoors. We camped in Loop C where generators are allowed a few hours each day. Loops A & B do not allow generators. The flush toilets in Loop B were open. The ones in Loop C were closed still for winter. The Amphitheater with Ranger programs is right next to the campground. The easy (until the climb) Fremont River trail skirts the campground. Walk over to the Gifford house for a fresh baked pie every morning! You’ll hike it off! Favorite trail that we did was the Chimney Rock loop (recommend counterclockwise). Sure there are crowds on trails like Hickman, but still a lot of beauty.

Up on a mesa (not super high that it’s a tough climb), on Notom road which is paved, then turn on dirt road not far from Hwy 24 (maybe 1/4-1/2 mile). Only two other campers about a football field apart from me. Amazing view of Henry mountains and sunrise!! Made it slowly in my front wheel drive van over the rocks that stick up. No problem. Just slow.

I tried to set up camp here and was thrilled about the views, but came back to camp a few hours later and my tent was half way down a mountain and torn up on the bottom. Decided to move on. Very windy and exposed. Would be best suited for RVs/trailers or car camping. Not sure if having a fire up here would be wise or possible.

We chanced upon this location as we exited Capital Reef eastbound and were starting to look for a place to stop for the night.  This site sits up on a mesa above the main road and we only noticed it because a couple of RVs were parked on the rim - visible from the main road.

The views from this location are world class and show off the reason Capital Reef is one of the most beautiful national parks.

The night we stayed there were another half-a-dozen other RVs and tents, but all at an appropriate distance so that we all had ample privacy.

Was quite windy in the evening, but no wind in the morning.
