If you’re visiting Capitol Reef, do yourself a favor and stay here! It’s super close to the park and the landscape is absolutely gorgeous. Tons of room and gets fairly crowded, there were, at the very least, ten other groups at this site in mid-June 2020 during the week when we visited. It is fairly close to the road, but due to minimal traffic, it’s still peaceful and quiet at night.

I would definitely stay here again, but try to arrive very early to secure a secluded spot. There were a couple spots right next to a cliff face that were ideal, and a little further back into the campground. Otherwise, you will be staying fairly close to other campers, as there isn’t a ton of brush to separate sites.

We climbed the little foothill right next to the campground for sunset and it was lovely. Capitol Reef is probably my favorite of the Mighty Five, in part due to the fact it isn’t nearly as crowded as a park like Arches or Zion, so if you’re considering visiting, please do!!!
