"One of our favorite campgrounds in southern Utah nestled in the Capitol Reef National Park."
"Should've planned my stay around harvest time! Very close to the Cohab canyon trail, one to hike for sure! Be sure to stop by the lil cabin nearby delectable pies and a bit of history."
"Fairly private for a camp ground, at least where we parked, next to the dog park. Great spot within walking distance of restaurants, clean, dog friendly"
"This RV park is located in the quaint town of Torrey. Be sure to visit the Chuck Wagon General Store. It's a gem. "

"Lots of fun hikes close by. Lots of fun hills for the kids to climb."
"It is about a 15-20 minute drive from Capitol Reef National Park. Bad: Tent sites are small. Depending on the site, you will have to put your tent on the gravel spots for cars. Not many sites."
"The views of the canyons are breathtaking and very close to downtown Torrey. The sites are well maintained and groomed daily, as well as clean. The staff are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful."
"This is one of the nicest camp spots around. Close to town but close to the boulder mountains. Full hook ups for trailers. Cabins you can rent, and tent spots. Best views in Utah."
"Close to town with great cell signal. Close to National Park. Sadly lots of broken glass close to the entrance, so watch it when you drive in. Pack it in, pack it out people."
"Easy access to downtown Torrey & Capitol Reef National Park."
TravelerWe really enjoyed our 2-night stay here and would definitely come back again. The campground is just 5 minutes from Capitol Reef and close to other amazing attractions like Bentonite Hill. We camped comfortably in our 32-foot travel trailer with an easy drive in and out. A great spot for anyone exploring the area!

RangerWas a great base of operations for our visit of Capitol Reef. A lottle rocky to get in but after that its all good. Fantastic red rock scenery. Our site even had shade.
RangerLoved it, bu man was it hot and windy but as soon as the sun begins to set its magic. There are a few section of soft sand on the was in.
ScoutAdmittedly, we usually do dispersed camping, but the picture of this site made us think they were somewhat spread out—they are v close together. and most people here have RVs. If that is cool with you, then this spot is great! Nice for pits and picnic tables at the sites . If you’re here in the summer bring bug spray—lots of mosquitos
TravelerNot a bad campground, campsites fairly close to each other. Bathroom facilities were decent, clean with flush toilets. Water access was convenient. Our site was in the middle and completely exposed to the sun but the description had said there was plenty of shade. Otherwise, had of been in a site on the perimeter I would rate this place much higher. It’s no fault of theirs, just describe the sites a little better and look for one along the perimeter. Camp hosts was not there until much later in the evening, or we would had inquired about moving to another site. Not a far drive to Capitol Reef and much higher in elevation in the mountains so it was a nice relief from the heat.
GuideEasy to get to. Spacious spots, away from other sites, and stunning view. Close to gas and restaurants and Capital Reef
ScoutWe had trouble booking on line, so called. Not a problem. They held a spot & for our inconvenience gave a discount rate, shower money & a bag of popcorn. What a deal. None of that was asked for, given anyway. Site are large & well spaced. Great facilities, & so much space.
ScoutThis was our first time boondocking and this spot did not disappoint! It’s convenient to I-70 but feels very remote. We passed one other camper on the way in. There was a spot on the left that would have had awesome sunset views, but we took the next one on the right. It had a pull through and trees and was a bit more private, although no privacy needed as we didn’t see a soul. We took a short walk and did encounter a small herd of cows near the road. It was perfect!
GuideThis place was absolutely beautiful. The sites are nestled in flourishing aspen forest and are beyond peaceful. The road was a little rough, but we did it in a 2WD with an extremely low hitch. Just have to go slow. I had service here and there with t-mobile, but nothing super reliable. There are campsites near the trailhead and many roads going deeper into the forest that we did not check out. Could easily go deeper into the forest with a high clearance 4WD. We saw butterflies, chipmunks, deer, free range cows and soooo many birds. A little less than an hour from capitol reef national park. Beautiful time.
