Happy Valley Road

Off a dirt road in the Dixie National Forest, Happy Valley Road provides dispersed camping access for self-contained RVs and tent campers. This Forest Service site sits roughly 11 miles from Torrey, positioning campers within reach of Capitol Reef National Park's western entrance while maintaining distance from developed campground crowds.

The drive-in access makes this spot workable for larger rigs, though campers should prepare for typical forest road conditions. With no amenities or services on-site, visitors need to bring water, waste management solutions, and supplies for their entire stay. The Singletree developed campground sits less than half a mile away for those wanting facilities. Plan for variable weather conditions and check current forest access restrictions before heading out.

Wonderful and free!!

We stayed here overnight and drove our truck into Capitol reef and explored for the evening. This spot is so beautiful and quiet. Incredible views nearby.

My only beef was the restrooms at larb hollow lookout (a MUST SEE) were very much in need of dumping. Grossest I’ve ever been in. However there is a rest stop down the road a few Miles where you can access flushing clean and stocked toilets.
