This 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.

This was probably the best RV resort that I have stayed in by a huge margin. Everything is brand new and sparkly, they have an amazing lounge and a drive in theater

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.

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.

We arrived here in a winter storm and were very happy to find an open RV park as most campgrounds and other RV parks were closed for the season. We did not need full-hook ups but we were asked to use the RV sites anyways (just not use the power, sewage connections) as the regular sites were not plowed. Lots of snow fell during the afternoon/evening but maintenance person plowed in the morning. Nice hot showers with nice hot pressure in laundry room. Wifi and excellent cell coverage on Verizon, spotty on AT&T. The little town of Escalante has several restaurants, a brew pub, a natural market and a general store. All restaurants were closed though except for Nemo drive-through which had good burgers food to go. A great place to anchor down in a winter storm.

Small, but clean and friendly RV Park very conveniently located to Capitol Reef National Park.
LegendLocated 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).
ScoutThis resort is one of a kind! The staff is so friendly and helpful, the grounds are well maintained, and the food is great! They have a pool, drive in theater with classic cars to sit in, laundry and SPA LEVEL outdoor showers!! They have RV hookups, cabins and Airstreams you can rent. Don’t wait, book your stay today!
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
Guide
Campsites are right near one another, but they are rarely packed full so we had space between sites. Otter creek is beautiful and great for long term fishermen’s Trips. There are huge bathrooms and showers, and a store! Loved our stay. Slightly noisy by the road but nighttime was not loud at all.
RangerEnjoyed our stay here. Clean, full hook ups, nicely landscaped, with a nice dog run for the pets. Close to the National Park.
Guide
We spent a week along Beas Lewis Flat Road just outside of Torrey, to explore Capitol Reef National Park. This is free BLM dispersed camping with a 14-day stay limit, no sites or services provided. The first camping areas off of UT-24 get crazy busy, to the point that it looked more like a crowded RV park than a peaceful boondocking area; however, make a right just past the cattle grate and you can go several miles back in, in search of solitude. Just after making that right there's a small dry wash to cross that requires some clearance and decent approach/departure angles, but other than that the condition of the road is superb. Views stretch to the red rock cliffs north of UT-24 from Torrey to the National Park, including Capitol Reef itself and the Henry Mountains beyond. Cell service was solid on both Verizon and AT&T, and we had no issues working on VPN from our location or streaming HD video. There's a small general store in Torrey with a few staples and even a laundry available, but the nearest small-town supermarket is in Loa, 18 miles west of Torrey. We found the prices there to be reasonable given the location. You may get water and dump at the Fruita Campground inside the National Park for $5.

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.
Guide
Unfortunately only stayed here one night, wish it could have been longer. This campground is located near a reservoir. We stayed in the RV full hook up site, which seems to be a fairly new added section to this campground. Sites are pretty level and great fire pit and covered picnic area. This campground had thermostat controlled bathrooms and had the cleanest showers I’ve encountered so far. I loved hearing the ducks. The staff at the gate were funny and nice. There are hiking trails here. The reservoir looked pretty low, which I hope was just because of the time of the year. Would definitely stay here again.
Guide
Really enjoyed Bowery Haven at Fish Lake. RV area was taken care of and provided full hook up. Some of which were further away than standard sized hoses and cord so be prepared. Loved the cafe and gift shop. The only down side was no personal firepits at campsites, otherwise would've given 5 stars. The community fire was ok but when we tried to go enjoy it another larger group than us pretty much bullied us away. We would definitely come up and stay again.
Guide
This was my final full amenities stop before heading into full dry camping with few towns anywhere near me.
has free wi-fi full hook-ups available-pull through showers available laundromat gas down the street grocery down the street dogs allowed-not a lot of running space but drive 5 minutes and there’s a whole desert for them
felt very safe 🤍
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.
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.
LegendHook up, good amenities, close to the national park. We had a nice grassy site between cabins. Overall a good RV park.
LegendThis RV park is located in the quaint town of Torrey. Be sure to visit the Chuck Wagon General Store. It's a gem.
Wonderland is a clean and well organized park run by a gentleman that stays on top of everything, even watering the little patches of grass daily. I have to give a shout out to the management team for their clean facilities. These were the cleanest I've ever seen! The showers were very secure as well. Each was housed in it's own individual unit which required a key code to enter. The laundry was clean and up to date. A quarter more expensive than most I've used lately. If you forget something, there's a little store in the office, but there are 2 gas stations within walking distance if the store doesn't have what you need.
A green pasture runs adjacent to the campground and this made for beautiful pastoral views of the roaming buffalo, cows and horses. There are also cabins, and for the more adventurous, you can stay in an authentic covered wagon!
Full hookups, sites not too close together and they are level. There are some car camp and tent sites with wind/privacy screens and a "sheep" camp too.
The location can't be beat for visiting Capitol Reef. I'll be back for the annual Cowboy Music and Poetry Festival. Great place!
GuideBasically a place to park your RV with hookups, but no frills or space/privacy. There are no grills or fire pits at the sites. For $35/night, I can't recommend this RV park.
Guide
This is a typical parking-lot style RV park sprinkled with poplar trees and located on the main route through Escalante, tho' we didn't hear any road noise. Bathrooms and showers excellent and spacious. Laundry expensive ($3.50-4.00 per load; perhaps due to water cost). Would have appreciated signage requiring masks in shared areas especially coming into another Corona spike. Owners were friendly. Surface was dusty. Hook-ups were fine for our 17-foot Casita trailer. The Escalante area has tons of great hikes (slot canyons, petrified forests, petroglyphs, views, etc.); park is a good, centrally located option for access.
Guide
This is one of those RV parks where most spaces are permanently occupied by trailers that will never move from that spot. We checked it out and kept on driving.

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.
TravelerOne of our favorite campgrounds in southern Utah nestled in the Capitol Reef National Park. We visited in mid October, the foliage was beautiful, cool temps at night, mild to warm during the day for hiking. Probably by favorite time to visit Southern Utah, otherwise it would be SO hot.
Like others have mentioned its the perfect mix of historical and geological wonders. The campsite itself is pleasant with flushing toilets, dumpsters, even water refill station and RV dump if you need. All sites are flat. The inner circle of sites are close together but you can find others along the outer edges facing out that are more spacious. All of them butt up to the orchards which you can walk through and pick your own fruit if its the right season. Deer roam around the campground, graze next to your tent or trailer, they are so sweet. The best part (beyond the views of the red rock canyons above, and gentle river that flows next to it) is the Gifford House - they sell fresh baked pies, cinnamon rolls and bread daily! Get there in the Am as they sell out. IF you ask my kids the homeade pies for breakfast might have been their favorite part! LOL.
