    Wonderland RV Park

    Torrey UT

    Wonderland 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.

    Wonderland RV Park

    Super nice people, great location

    Right 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.

    Thousand Lakes RV Park

    Outside Torrey

    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.

    Sand Creek RV, Cabins, Tents

    Sand Creek RV Park, Utah

    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.

    Wonderland RV Park

    Decent, crowded place

    For 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

    Wonderland RV Park

    Great full hook up option

    As 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.

    Goblin Valley State Park Campground

    Pretty spot, minimal services

    The goblin Valley Campground is located within goblin Valley State Park in Utah. This is pretty much in the middle of nowhere between Hanksville and Green River on a 12 miles off detour off Highway 24. The park itself provides access to a rare and bizarre landscape of rock formation some assembling goblins mushrooms and other spires which is pretty unique to the area. The campground is nestled on the edge of some of these rock for atto a in a really scenic location. Covered picnic tables fire rings we’re also provided and a paved driveway and tent pads were also provided. No water, electric hook-ups. However, despite a fairly steep price for a standard non-electric site ( $30) minimal facilities were offered. The bathrooms and showers were closed for the season (it was late December) ang there was only access to a pit toilet near the yurts a little walk away from the campsites. There were flushing toilets a couple of miles away at the visitor center and a at the major view point over the valley of goblins. no cell reception on either Verizon or AT&T.

    Goblin Valley State Park Campground

    It felt like I stepped out of a spaceship and was walking on Mars!

    Such a unique and beautiful place. I highly recommend visiting the Goblin's Lair, I was not expecting it at all and it was spectacular. There's a fun little cave you can crawl through inside the Goblin's Lair by its entrance too that's worth checking out. Everyone should at least visit Goblin Valley once in their life. Although not as big as Capitol Reef National Park, it is very similar and equally spectacular.

    The campground is reasonably priced with nice showers and super cool scenery. They have a very interesting disc golf course set up near the campground.
