Camping near Capitol Reef National Park in Utah is worth the drive to the state’s south-central desert. Located a few miles away from Torrey, UT, the nearby campgrounds are the perfect place to stay before spending a day or more exploring all of the natural wonders in the park. It’s also some of the best camping in the state with campsites designed to accommodate single campers, groups or RVs. Spend the day marveling at the stunning rock formations that include pristine white sandstone domes like the Capitol Dome the park is named for, as well as Hickman Bridge, the Chimney Rock pillar and the thousand-year-old Fremont Petroglyphs.

    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.

    South Temple Wash Campground

    Pleasantly surprised

    Stayed here during memorial day weekend and wasn’t sure if I would find a spot but upon arriving around 7 PM, there were several spots available and if you keep driving down the dirt road, you can find many other dispersed sites to stay at. Even though it was quite busy with large groups, around 10 PM, everyone settled down and it was a quiet peaceful night. Beautiful views and plenty of areas to walk around. About 15 minutes from Capitol Reef National Park. Free and clean vault toilets.

    Overlook Point Dispersed Site

    Great pull off for the night.

    Amazing vista point to look down into capitol reef national park or Torrey. 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. The further you go in the better the sites get, some with decent wind protection.

    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

    Pleasant RV Park, Capitol Reef NP

    Stayed 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).

    Dispersed Campsite Near Capital Reef National Park

    Open country, mountain views sparch shrubs, BLM near capitol reef boundary

    Beautiful mountain view, open location a couple of miles off the Notom Bullfrog road. Didn't see a soul.  Road is easy going.  Near to Pleasant Creek. Rock fire ring.  Other sites are dispersed around. Very close to the Capitol Reef National park boundary. 5535 feet elevation. No cell service.

    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

    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.

    Fruita Campground — Capitol Reef National Park

    If It Looks Full, Check With Host!

    We drove through all 3 loops of this campground on a Saturday, and every single site was marked as “reserved.” Luckily we checked with the host, just in case, and they had several spots available! Not sure why they mark the free sites as reserved. 

    There are flush toilets (as well as vault toilets), no showers, potable water and a dump station. There are trash bins and recycling (aluminum and plastic only, no glass). Generator hours are limited to 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening, which is nice, but boy do all the generators get fired up right on cue when it’s time. 

    This campground is within walking distance to several trails, the pie and gift shop, the schoolhouse and petroglyphs along hwy 24, and the visitor center is about a mile away. 

    Deer trot right on through the campground, and the surrounding orchards are open for picking at harvest time. There’s no cell service anywhere in this area but the visitor center has free wifi.
