Best Glamping near Cove, UT

Fremont Indian State Park offers unique glamping options with tipis at Castle Rock Campground for just $30 per night, providing an authentic outdoor experience with modern amenities. These distinctive canvas accommodations blend rustic charm with convenience, situated in a picturesque setting surrounded by red rock formations and native art sites. The campground provides fire pits, picnic tables, and access to clean restrooms with flush toilets. "Got to stay in a rad tipi site for only $30! They had firewood available by the bundle for $5/armload," noted one guest who appreciated the value and atmosphere of this boutique camping experience.

The surrounding area boasts remarkable natural attractions and cultural experiences that complement the resort-style camping atmosphere. Multiple hiking trails connect directly from the glamping sites, including the Joe Lott Trail leading into Fishlake National Forest and pathways to nearly 700 Native American rock art panels. The state park visitor center offers educational displays about Fremont Indian culture, though some guests mentioned seasonal closures may affect availability. A recent visitor mentioned, "The state park is nice for petroglyphs but that's about it with a few short hikes." Castle Rock's proximity to I-70 makes it accessible while still feeling remote, and its location near the Paiute ATV trail system provides additional adventure opportunities for glamping guests seeking outdoor activities beyond the comfort of their accommodations.

    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.

    Mystic Hot Springs

    Beautiful space with hot springs

    Beautiful location and it was a nice place to walk around. Outdoor kitchen and showers as well as community space.

    Camping was about $25/night.

    You do have to make a reservation on the website and call for details when you get here, Soaking happens in 2 hour windows and isn’t included in the camping fee. Because of where the pools are, I recommend soaking before dark.

    If you have mobility issues, be aware that there are stairs to get to the pools and the upper pools require a bit of climbing.

    The outdoor kitchen space was a nice space to use after time on the road.

    Thousand Lakes RV Park

    A beautiful campground!

    This 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!

    Castle Rock Campground — Fremont Indian State Park

    Lots to do here

    The campground is very nice.  It is gravel with fire pits and tables.  There are also tipis that can be rented.  You are close to the Fremont Indian exhibit and trails.  There is also a nice trail that leads up into the Fishlake National Forest.

    Lots to see!  There are red rock pillars, yellow aspen and native american art.

    Sand Creek RV, Cabins, Tents

    Nice spot for an RV park

    I'm more of a fan of dispersed camping, but we wanted a spot with showers and internet for a few nights. The host was welcoming and let us choose our spot, however if you are planning to work during the days, make plans for a new spot after the official checkout. 

    The spots on the edge looking over the field toward the cliffs were more secluded and nice, but very windy. There were wind huts for some, and fire rings although we didn't feel comfortable using them given the dryness and the wind.

    There are spots for rigs of all sizes, and some with electric hook ups, some without. Wifi included, pay laundry.

    Very close to Capitol Reef. Restaurant across the street is expensive, but good if you're looking for a fancier meal.

    Fillmore KOA

    Comfortable, quiet and accessible

    This, as a KOA Journey, is a great place to stay “along the way.” Spaces are level and have a nice, grassy area between sites with a picnic bench & fire pit. The surrounding area is scenic with cows in pasture and a mountain backdrop. We only stayed a single night and did not use any amenities. WiFi was very weak but the hookups are in good condition. We really appreciated the grounds with trees and grass. The staff we encountered were very friendly. Fillmore has some neat gems to scout out. The freeway is close by so access is a cinch, but the grounds are far enough away to be void of any road noise. When we arrived, the wind was consistently 45+ mph.... not sure if this is an extraordinary occurrence but the map says wind picks up frequently and to store your things. Multiple gas stations nearby with excellent prices. Lots of ATV/OHV paths around the area. A single night allowed for us to explore a little and feel rested. Would definitely return!

    Sand Creek RV, Cabins, Tents

    Amazing views of Sand Creek wash and red rocks.

    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.

    Fillmore KOA

    Relaxing and Fun

    I never knew there was so much to do in Fillmore. We visited the hot springs and lava tunnels. Kids had a blast. The KOA pool and spa were great. Sites are very close together and not all sites that say have a fire pit actually do.


Guide to Cove

The Cove area of Utah sits at approximately 5,400 feet elevation with significant elevation changes in surrounding mountains, creating diverse camping climates from high desert to alpine zones. Temperatures in summer typically range from 50-90°F with cool evenings even during peak season. Winter camping requires preparation for below-freezing temperatures and possible snow at higher elevations.

What to do

Soak in geothermal springs: At Mystic Hot Springs in nearby Monroe, visitors can experience unique soaking in vintage bathtubs fed by natural hot springs. "Be sure to reserve one of the buses online soak in the hot springs and enjoy one of the greatest most peaceful relaxing spots I have found," notes Frederick S., who gave the unique glamping experience five stars.

Explore petroglyphs: The Castle Rock Campground provides access to hundreds of Native American rock art panels. According to Mikki S., "Lots of neat trails and hikes, Petroglyphs too. Visitor center has an education center that looked promising but is currently closed due to COVID."

Hike mountain trails: The Joe Lott Trail leads from the south end of Castle Rock Campground into Fishlake National Forest. Barry S. explains, "For hikers, the south end of the campground is the north origin of the Joe Lott Trail that heads into the Fishlake National Forest."

Access ATV trails: The Paiute ATV trail system connects with multiple campgrounds in the area. Judy T. notes that Castle Rock Campground "is also a place to camp for enthusiasts of the Paiute Trail, a large network of ATV trails as it had a trail near the northern end of the campground."

What campers like

Affordable glamping options: While tipis at Castle Rock are popular, Mystic Hot Springs offers converted buses for a unique glamping in Cove, Utah area experience. Leigh-Anne H. shares, "Stayed in an old bus turned into cute little camp spot. Stayed here in the dead of winter and was very comfy and cozy. Bus had heated blankets and was thoughtfully set up."

Dark skies for stargazing: The region offers exceptional night sky viewing away from light pollution. At Sunglow Campground, Steven E. reports, "Amazing soaking and star gazing, and surprisingly easy soaking. Maybe I just got lucky!"

Red rock landscapes: The dramatic scenery draws many campers to the region. Matthew S. describes his experience at Thousand Lakes RV Park: "The views on the north and east were stunning, North was all back in and East had some pull through spots, aim for these if you can."

Stream-side camping: Many sites feature natural water features. Dianna L. reports about Castle Rock Campground: "Beautiful campground. Quiet and lots of shade. Our site had a stream running by it."

What you should know

Weather extremes: Despite high summer temperatures, nights can be cold, and winds can be significant. At Sand Creek RV Park, Kayleigh T. notes, "The site had nice views but is very exposed and very very windy which means we kept time outside of the van to a minimum as it wasn't very relaxing."

Seasonal operations: Many facilities close during winter months. When visiting Sam Stowe Campground, Troy L. advises, "There was a spot to purchase firewood at the campground; as I recall it was $5 or $6 dollars for an armful."

Road noise considerations: Some campgrounds are close to interstate highways. Barry S. mentions about Sand Creek, "Sand Creek is located on Hwy 24, and the road noise didn't quiet down until around 11 PM. Probably not a good choice any time for a light sleeper."

Wildlife awareness: Rattlesnakes are present in the region. Troy L. cautions, "The one warning, there are signs in the campground warning of rattlesnakes and we did see one. It gave plenty of notice that we were to close."

Tips for camping with families

Pool access: Fillmore KOA offers a swimming pool that's popular with younger campers. Preston G. mentions, "The KOA pool and spa were great. Sites are very close together and not all sites that say have a fire pit actually do."

Educational opportunities: The Fremont Indian State Park museum provides learning experiences about local history. Connie C. notes about Castle Rock Campground: "You are close to the Fremont Indian exhibit and trails. There is also a nice trail that leads up into the Fishlake National Forest. Lots to see! There are red rock pillars, yellow aspen and native american art."

Protected tent sites: Some campgrounds offer wind shelters for tents. Kayleigh T. observes at Sand Creek, "There are wooden shelters for tent spots to mitigate the wind but this would still make me nervous if I were in a tent!"

Creek exploration: Kids enjoy playing in the shallow creeks at some campgrounds. Magarin H. shares their experience at Sunglow: "We caught a beautiful sunset against the red cliffs as we set up camp. Our tent was close to a little stream that was really pleasant to listen to as we fell asleep."

Tips from RVers

Site selection for privacy: At Thousand Lakes RV Park, Matthew S. advises, "Sites are all gravel with a little grass patch, pull through sites could fit two side by side. All sites seemed to have a table and fire ring. The views on the north and east were stunning, North was all back in and East had some pull through spots, aim for these if you can."

Electrical considerations: Some campgrounds have power limitations. Pam R. cautions, "When all the large RVs returned for the night, our electricity browned out and we couldn't run our AC. Our power also cut out during the night."

Dump station access: Not all campgrounds offer sewer hookups or dump stations. Kristin S. reports about Fillmore KOA, "WiFi was very weak but the hookups are in good condition. We really appreciated the grounds with trees and grass."

Winter access: Some RV parks remain open year-round with adjusted amenities. Carlyne F. notes about Sand Creek, "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)"
