The property features 50 sites with several glamping options including canvas tents and modern yurts equipped with comfortable beds, full linens, electricity, and climate control systems. Sand Creek RV, Cabins, Tents adds safari-style accommodations to the area's lodging mix, with units providing private decks overlooking the distinctive red rock formations. Both locations maintain showers, flush toilets, and trash service, while offering fire rings at individual glamping sites for evening relaxation. A recent visitor noted, "This venue is surreal. Our tent is currently surrounded by red rock structures on three sides, along with a horse stable, and a fruit orchard."

Elkhorn Recreation Site provides glamping accommodations in a more secluded setting with access to boating activities and magnificent stargazing opportunities. Visitors appreciate the proximity to Capitol Reef's hiking trails, with Hickman's Arch just a short drive away. Wonderland RV Park opens its glamping units from April through October, coinciding with prime weather for exploring nearby attractions including the ancient petroglyphs and stunning geological formations within the national park.

One camper highlighted, "I love going and seeing the big deer in the campground and park. Lots of great hikes close and lots of things to do."

    Sunglow Campground

    Sunglow

    Beautiful place. 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. I imagine on a spring/summer weekend it will fill up. Not lots of shade, but some juniper trees. Good: Flush toilets where a pleasant surprise. Great scenery. Kids wanted to explore all over. The red rock cliffs are pretty. It is close to town if you need something, but at camp it doesn’t feel close to town. We got there at 2 pm on a Thursday in July and only one spot had been claimed.

    Capitol Reef RV Park and Glamping

    Brand new March 2025

    Everything is new. They still building the office / common room. The private bathrooms and showers are great. Everything is spotless clean. Laundry room only has 2 washers & 2 dryers. Fine now as this RV park is pretty empty. It also has several A-frame little cabins. Maybe a little dusty as they are finishing up all the gravel work. Hookups are good. Pads are level. Every spot has a picnic table & fire pit. Dog park kind of small. All dirt. Lots of areas to walk dogs. Verizon has 3 bars. WiFi is great, but not many campers here.

    A couple miles to town. Off the highway. Very quiet. Very dark at night so really nice for stargazing.

    And the mountain views are beautiful on 2 sides!

    We definitely will stay again if we in the area.

    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.

    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

    Fruita Campground — Capitol Reef National Park

    beautiful field walk-in

    We stayed at one of the walk in tent sites where were in a large field. The area is very neat with an orchard, wildlife, and beautiful scenery. The sites were not overly secluded, but the park seemed quiet enough for the amount of people there. Capitol Reef National Park seemed less busy than the other Utah National Parks and we really enjoyed our hiking adventures in the park as well as the camping opportunities.

    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.

    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.

    Fruita Campground — Capitol Reef National Park

    Unique and Beautiful

    The Fruita Campground is open year-round, and is the only developed campground in Capitol Reef National Park. This campground is one of the most unique ones I’ve stayed at. The orchard 🏕 onsite for picking fruit is so cool! There are lots of trees and shade and after driving through the desert it’s crazy to find this oasis tucked back behind these big beautiful rocks 🏜. The sites are a good size and comfortable. You don’t have cell service but, maybe that’s your thing? Not having to worry about email can be a plus. There are bathrooms but, unfortunately no showers. Definitely, a great stop while visiting all of the National parks in Utah.

    The 71-site Fruita Campground is the only developed campground in Capitol Reef. Reservations are available March 1- October 31.

    Each site has a picnic table and firepit and/or above ground grill, but no individual water, sewage, or electrical hookups.

    There is a RV dump and potable water fill station near the entrance to Loops A and B.

    The nightly fee is $20.00 ($10.00 for Golden Age/Senior Pass holders.

    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.
