Small, well equipped with tidy, well adorned sites. Lots of shade. Pasture adjoining sites with bison, cows, and horses just feet from us. A pool/hot tub would be 5 star.
TravelerSmall, but clean and friendly RV Park very conveniently located to Capitol Reef National Park.
GuideAs promised, clean and great little spot near Capitol reef national Park. Absolutely recommend if you need hook ups about the only downfall I’ve noticed is the shower pressures a little late but that’s first world. This is a great place.
GuideRight at the main junction in town. A couple food options right across the street with Capitol Reef National Park very close nearby. The sites are a bit tight but less so than the other major option in town. No fire pits but they rent gas ones.
LegendWonderland was a great place to stay to visit Capitol Reef National Park. Only a few miles to the entrance. Park was clean and the town of Torrey was small but great. Our site was #5. Good amount of space but you are still close to your neighbors. FHUs, restrooms, showers, and laundry available. Apple trees are scattered throughout the campground. We ate dinner at a great food truck Capitol Burger in Torrey.
GuideFor a town of Torrey with a population a little over 100, this is a Hotspot for through-passing travellers. Was booked fully at arrival and departure. Glad we had our 1 night reservation. Good spot if exploring capitol reef national park, also good spot for longer stays with washer and dryer on site and other services available. Long pull through sites for RV and motor homes. Would visit again if passing through and needed hookups. Cons: busy and expensive

Located in Torrey, Utah this RV park was a great place to stay when visiting Capitol Reef National Park. The National Park was a 10 minute drive away from the park. They’re still open in the Winter, but we didn’t find out they closed their showers and bathrooms until we were told upon arrival. (They close 10/31)
The night sky was magnificent and may have made up for our inability to shower for a couple days. We were the only ones in the park, Winter camping. It’s located in a dark sky area, so the skies are clear and the air is clean. The surrounding views of the mountains and red rock were also gorgeous. The WiFi was good as well.

We got a tent site. The tent sites are all gravel with a table and water. The good: Location close to Capitol Reef National Park. We used it as a base camp for hiking in the national park. Has water, table, fire pit, and wind break. The small swimming pool was loved by the kids The grassy park area was nice. The views. Red cliffs and Thousand Lakes Mountain to the north and Boulder Mountain to the south. The bad: Not enough trees. There are several small very pruned Cottonwood trees, but it is not a shady place. Small spaces. Like most RV parks, you are very close to your neighbors. Everyone near us was quite and kind though. There is no grass for the tent sites. You put your tent in gravel. About the only grass is very small pieces for the RVs and the grassy park area.
GuideStayed here while social distancing during the initial phase of the pandemic sometime in May 2020. Campsites have a decent amount of space between them. Very close to Capitol Reef National Park, this is a popular site for many park goers.
Facilities are very well kept and pleasantly clean. Nice, hot showers included with the campsite price and bathrooms are close to sites. One downside to this RV park is that the designated tent sites are right across from the designated RV sites. Any tent camper knows how annoying this can be, and although it did get fairly loud during the day and lunchtime, after dinner time it was fairly quietly and we slept soundly.
This RV park is very family-friendly, so keep in mind there are kids EVERYWHERE - kids riding their bikes in the roads, kids crying, kids yelling. All in all, a decent campsite that is pleasant enough and made worth it for the very clean facilities. Stay here when visiting Capitol Reef if this sort of place is your speed or you’re in need of a good shower. Tons of awesome hikes nearby (pictured).

We only got to stay one night in one of the cabins, and definitely wish it was more! The cabin was really cozy and clean. The staff was very friendly at check-in, ensuring we had everything we needed. We watched mule deer out the window for a while and had fantastic views around us. Will definitely be coming back on another trip through Utah!
TravelerSave your money and skip the cabins. Dated and dirty. The owner would not acknowledge the fact that the cabin was dirty and said her housekeeper doesn’t make mistakes. Did not offer to send someone over to clean it properly. Did not want to see pictures of the dirty cabin. Did not offer to compensate us in any way.
In addition, the laundry room near the cabins had dirty smelly washers full of dog hair and dryers with dead bugs in them.
LegendThis is a nice little Gem. It has tent spots for $20 a night, RV hook ups and nice little cabins for $45 or a deluxe cabin for $65 a night. There is a store on site and it is still close to town. Picnic tables, and fire pits at each spot and lots of shade. This is a really nice camping spot. Close to Capitol Reef or the Boulder mountain and also lots of great jeep trails up Sand creek road. This is God's country.
LegendHook up, good amenities, close to the national park. We had a nice grassy site between cabins. Overall a good RV park.
Traveler
This is an older, smaller RV Park that has several cabins and a few tent sites. The RV sites are typically pull through and both 30 AMP and 50 AMP are available. Nothing hyper here, but a well maintained park with nice restrooms and showers and a laundry. Located next door to a recommended restaurant and within a half mile of Escalante Outfitters - Espresso, Pizza, Salads and books and gear for your Utah Canyons adventures. Also a half mile to the Official Visitor Center: BLM, NPS and USFS - to answer all your wandering questions.
ScoutPerfect size park with full hookups for RVs as well as cabins for rent. Very clean, and has bathrooms with showers. Easy access to Capital Reef National Park. Would definitively come again.
TravelerIf you’re looking for a place to stay anywhere around Escalante STAY HERE!! I did a night in a cabin and a night in the back of my Tacoma and both were really great. This is no regular RV park - there are beautiful flowers everywhere, the shower room is exceptionally clean and honestly nicer than the one at my gym, there are multiple washers + dryers, the cabins are adorable, and the whole area is stunning. Johanna was working the front desk when I stayed and she was incredibly helpful, kind, and funny. I was traveling with another 18 year old girl and I felt safer here than I ever have in California - even in a hotel. Give this place a go!!
RangerVery cozy cabin after a long drive and stay in our rooftop tent. Perfect place to freshen up and do laundry. Ben is also very timely with his responses and was very personable.

This spot is incredible. Airstreams, pull in spots, cabins. AMAZING year round outdoor heater showers, “drive in” movies every night. My kids loved it, I loved it. Great homemade, great for zero days. Highly recommend.
Traveler
We called them for reservations and immediately got a spot. We went to their office and their staff were extremely polite. The charges for the night was $25. They have cabins available. Laundry and bath access as well. We loved our stay with them.
Guide
We were on our way to four corners and have been camping on public land most of the time. When driving through town we saw their sign “cabins $50”. Very cool place, great vibe, the owner is very friendly. The pizza down the road is an added bonus.
TravelerThis is our favorite place to stay when visiting the Capitol Reef area! We have been here a few times now and keep coming back! 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. Some of the sites along the back near the fence are a bit tight, however the pull throughs are spacious. We have also stayed in the cabins before and are cute and roomy with nice private back “yards” and front porches with chairs. The pool area is a bit small for the size of the campground and could use some upkeep, however still enjoyable. The gift shop is a must see and the best one near Capitol Reef! There are many clothes, trinkets, Native American decor, and camping supplies to choose from. There is now a grille however it is expensive. Sites are gravel with some full hookup and other partial hookup. It was a bit noisy due to the campground being full and the sites are somewhat close together and close to the cabins. The campground could use some more room as they have tried to fit a lot of sites and amenities into a “smaller” campground. The views are truly breathtaking and easy access to hiking trails, OHV trails. This is a must visit campground if you are looking to take in the beauty of the colorful Utah canyons!
LegendThis is a great little park with beautiful views and lots to do in the area. There is a restaurant on site, small park for the kids, basketball court and dog walk area. The sites are very close no privacy. There are two styles ld cabins. They sell wood and propane by the tank they do not fill tanks.
LegendThis 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. If you like red dirt this is the place to be. Close to Capital Reef or the Boulder Mountains. The owners are on site and are very friendly. Lots of stuff to do in Torrey. They have a store on site plus it is close to gas station if you forgot anything.
Make sure you reserve a spot of Apple Days in July it is a fun time to be in Torrey. Lots of stuff going on. This place is busy all summer long so it is best to call ahead. Spring and Fall is amazing in Torrey and is not as hot as the summer months.
TravelerWhat a nice Park to spend some time in the fascinating area of Capitol Reef NP and Great Escalante NP! Beautiful spots with a perfect view, clean and comfortable restrooms/showers and cute cabins to rent, if you didn’t plan on sleeping in your Van/RV. We were lucky to get Spot 12, a pull through hook-up slot. Thanks for having us, we are happy to come back to the super friendly hosts and this cozy park!
ScoutSand Creek is 15 miles from Capitol Reef and 1,500’ higher - much cooler. Good wi-fi, showers, bathrooms and laundry. Firewood and ice are available for purchase. The grounds have not been maintained like they were two years ago in 2019, but that may be due to the drought. Sand Creek has simple reasonable cabins along with 6 tent sites and maybe 8 or 9 RV sites.
Capitol Reef has a great campground but it often fills up. This is a great alternative for $22 a night for a tent site.
Legend
When I called, I was told there was tent camping only or rustic cabins. When I explained we had a camper van, I was told it would be ok. Upon arrival, we were told to park anywhere we could find a spot (and there was a truck camper doing the same). Lucky for us, we ended up at the end of the row, right next to the laundry room with a family restroom and shower. The downside to this was a lack of privacy as people entered the laundry room.
There are nine tent pads; 1-5 are very close together and there is no privacy between them but 6-9 are spaced a bit further apart. There is a covered picnic pavilion that can be used by the tent campers as well as what appeared to be picnic tables by each pad. I don’t know the cost of the cabins but for “tent” (for us, van) camping, it was $8 per person, reasonable considering the use of restrooms and showers were included. There is a store (with gear, clothing, and other souvenirs) and café on the premises; when we were there, the hours were limited(due to Covid) but their website indicates they are open for lunch and dinner till 8 or 9 pm (depending on the season). So, we quickly ate at the café (the sandwiches were delicious) and then settled in. The showers had plenty of HOT water, which after four days without a shower, was like heaven to us.
The laundry room was well-lit and had a table for folding laundry (or sitting at while waiting).
Although there is much to do in the area, there were no specific activities offered by Escalante Outfitters. For us in our van, we paid $16 to park in a gravel lot but the showers made it well worth the price.
LegendReally nice RV park in the cute town of Escalante. The layout is the same as a basic RV park, with all the RVs lined up in rows in the hard packed gravel lot, but they also have cabins and a tent area.
We stopped here to use their laundry, which is open for use by non-guests. Coin operated but there is a change machine in the laundry room, as well as vending machines for snacks and soaps.
Showers are nice and clean and seem to have been open for use by non-guests as well in the past, but at this time it’s limited to guests only, I’m guessing due to covid.
There is no recycling here, there is firewood for sale, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
We didn’t stay the night here but the cost for an RV site is about $37, which is reasonable.
Good cell service since it’s right in town.
Experience the charm of cabin camping near Capitol Reef National Park, where stunning landscapes and outdoor adventures await.
