Capitol Reef National Park Dispersed Camping
Reviewed Oct. 20, 2024

A great hike

If you have a 4x4, we recommend pulling back slightly to the right as far as you can. We went back and got tucked into a more secluded nook with a good fire ring. It looks bumpy and uneven, but it’s possible to level a vehicle that’s 21 feet and under.

The hike up above the site is really beautiful. The trail took us up above the cliff edge that borders the site. From there you have sweeping views of the valley and out to the mountains in both directions.

Important to note:

  1. There are no toilet facilities and no places to dig a hole
  2. There were people using generators
  3. If you tuck back into a far site, you can avoid most the the road and generator noise
  4. If it’s going to rain, this would be a slick and slippery location
  5. The Wild Rabbit Cafe in Torrey is an excellent place for breakfast and coffee
