The campground at Goblin Valley State Park consists of 25 sites and two yurts. Goblin Valley camping is divided into ten walk-in tent pads, fourteen RV spaces, and one group site able to accommodate up to 35 people. Showers and flush toilets, as well as a communal water and dump station are all available free of charge. All sites contain a picnic table, metal fire ring, and shade shelter. Cowboys searching for cattle first discovered secluded Goblin Valley. Then in the late 1920s, Arthur Chaffin, owner/operator of the Hite ferry, and two companions were searching for an alternative route between Green River and Caineville. They came to a vantage point about a mile west of Goblin Valley and were awed by what they saw, five buttes and a valley of strange-shaped rock formations surrounded by a wall of eroded cliffs. In 1949, Chaffin returned to the area he called Mushroom Valley. He spent several days exploring the mysterious valley and photographing its scores of intricately eroded creatures. The area was acquired by the state of Utah and in 1964 was officially designated a state park. Goblin Valley State Park is a showcase of geologic history. Exposed cliffs reveal parallel layers of rock bared by erosion. Because of the uneven hardness of sandstone, some patches resist erosion much better than others. The softer material is removed by wind and water, leaving thousands of unique, geologic goblins. Water erosion and the smoothing action of windblown dust work together to shape the goblins. Bedrock is exposed because of the thin soil and lack of vegetation. When rain does fall, there are few plant roots and little soil to capture and hold the water, which quickly disappears, in muddy streams without penetrating the bedrock.

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.
Ranger
Enjoyed our stay here. Clean, full hook ups, nicely landscaped, with a nice dog run for the pets. Close to the National Park.
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
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 🤍

This 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!
GuideThis 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.
Traveler
Obviously no hookups for rvs and trailers but if you want to get out in nature, you'll love this area. Great views all around and generally, nice spots.
TravelerSmall, but clean and friendly RV Park very conveniently located to Capitol Reef National Park.
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).
ScoutWe 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.
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.
Ranger
1/2 off with an America the Beautiful pass. I got lucky and I was able to reserve a spot on short notice and it was one of the best spots for a truck camper which was right next to the tent camping area. Site 42. It is crowded! The sites are right next to each other. More like a really nice RV park..sort of. Normally I don't do NP campgrounds for this reason. I just needed one night before finding some disbursed sites. As with other National Parks like Bryce or Zion, if you plan to see the sites more than camping then get a motel or cabin. I will say, it is in a beautiful location.
LegendGreat area near Capital Reef NP. Plenty of level spots with fire rings and amazing views. The road is pretty packed and easy to navigate (RVs, trailers, ect). There are a few rocks here and there poking out, but you can drive around.
There are a few areas, and you can space out pretty well for privacy. There is an awesome spot if you turn left and go all the way back into the rock walls, where you are surrounded by the cliffs. Not a lot of level ground at that spot, so it's better for tent campers. But plenty of other great spots for RVs, trailers, and other campers.
No services. Pack in, pack out. Verizon service was good. There is an awesome hike to the top of the cliffs for a sunset. You can find the route on alltrails.
Guide
I tried to set up camp here and was thrilled about the views, but came back to camp a few hours later and my tent was half way down a mountain and torn up on the bottom. Decided to move on. Very windy and exposed. Would be best suited for RVs/trailers or car camping. Not sure if having a fire up here would be wise or possible.
RangerShady spots to park. Small and mostly quiet with cows and ducks in a field next to the campground. Close to Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyons. Full hookups available as well as small spots for tents with privacy walls between. If I were tenting, I would not choose this because spaces are small and mostly designed for RV. It’s a refreshing change from dry camping.
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.

ScoutOur 5th wheel was hooked up and ready to leave and we had some battery problems, so I told both my kids to go use the campground bathrooms before we left. My 7 year old son was wearing a dress that day. They are a boy and uses a boys bathroom, though they like to wear dresses sometimes. An employee named Jason stopped them and says they are using the wrong bathroom, and that the girls restroom is next door. My son tell them they are not a girl, but the employee still kicks them out of the bathroom and blocks the door so he cannot go in. My wife approaches asked the employee what was going. The guy replies, She is wearing a dress, and looks like a girl. She cant use the boys bathroom. My wife tells him my child is not a girl, they just like to wear dresses. He replies to her pointing at our child, You know what that is? That is a mental problem, that's what that is! Your son has a mental disorder! All of this right in front of my 7 and 9 year old children. My son stormed off crying and my wife told him he was extremely rude and followed our son away. The man, Jason, shouted that she was the one being rude and went about his business as if nothing happened.
As we were leaving the RV park, that same man(Jason) was using a weed whacker in the driveway. He turned towards my truck and shot up a handfull of rocks at our truck. Our truck now has several dings and scratches on the driver side. I rolled down the window and yelled at him, Hey, you just shot out a bunch of rocks at my truck! He told me my truck was already scratched up and he didnt do anything. I took out my phone to take a picture of the guy(Jason) so we could file a complaint later. He got extremely upset and started charging at our truck with his weed whacker in hand yelling What, you want my picture now! Ill make it easier, my name is Jason! He was looking to start a fight(in front of both of my children), so I quickly drove away.
I came back shortly after to complain to the owner of the park. He tried to brush it off as if his employee was just having a bad day, and that he was really a good guy. I told him, No, a good guy doesnt treat a 7 year old child that way. He claims the weed whacker damage was an accident,(though he made no attempt to fix the damage), clearly the employee had it out for us and thought he was being clever. We are lucky our windows were closed and he didnt send one of us to the hospital. It is hard to describe the anger we felt towards this RV park and their employee, Jason. I fear that my complaint to the owners of the park fell upon deaf ears and the man who verbally assaulted our brave 7 year old child will still be working there tomorrow as if nothing happened. The best we can do is share our story in hopes that other families can avoid people and businesses like this. If you have LGBTQ family members or support LGBTQ people and their families, please do not stay at this park.
TravelerThis is a wonderful campground next door to some of the prettiest hikes Capitol Reef has to offer. However, our site (B40) did not seem appropriate for tent camping. There is no tent pad, the area surrounding the parking bay is not leveled, and it has no grass or gravel, only red dirt which turns into mud very quickly. Additionally, the site is downhill from the surrounding sites so any amount of rain will turn the site (including the blacktop) into a mud bath. At the same time, it must be a good RV camping spot as the bay is huge with lots of shade during most of the day.
Guide
There are only 11 asphalt paved RV camp sites. There are 14 tent sites.
Each site has a covered pavilion with a picnic table, fire ring and a tent site. Drinking water is located throughout the campground. The bathrooms have flushing toilets and hot water in the sinks. They are spotless! The showers are equally as clean. There are no bad views here! The hiking and biking trails are right there.
This one is one of my favorites!
Go!
GuideWe stayed here on a whim on our way from Arches to Zion and couldn't have been more surprised with what we saw. There was no cell service, but that was good with us. Less than 10 minutes from the campground were some spectacular petroglyphs that require absolutely no hiking, just some walking on a boardwalk. Bring your binoculars or telephoto lens because they are a distance away. The main location has one of the pay spy glass things, but we generally don't use those.
The campground itself was PACKED with all varieties of campers- tents, roof top tents, small trailers, large trailers, and motorhomes. The hosts seemed to be active and visible. Toilets and dump stations were on site. Water was at the restrooms (though I'm sure there are hookup sites, we just didn't need one.)
The history of the campground was what really took us by surprise. A mormon settlement came through and created an orchard that still exists today. During certain seasons you can pick the fruit (probably best to ask the host or the visitor center first, though!)

This area is accessed by 4 double track dirt roads on right as you pass the new but uncompleted sign for the expanded Goblin Valley St Park. This area used to be BLM dispersed camping but was made part of goblin a year or so ago. Goblin still allows free dispersed on these sites as of 9.2023 but that could change in future? These two track roads go to the trailhead signs for Wildhorse Window and Wildhorse Canyon hikes. Nice level sites with good views but no shade and exposed to winds. Cell signal is dependent on line of sight to Hanksville cell tower. Goblin entrance station has wifi and a water stand pipe they let dispersed campers use. No garbage dumpsters unless you pay to access goblin park at $20 vehicle.
There is also more free dispersed past the Goblin entrance station going out to Little Wildhorse slot canyon, but those areas have longer very rough access roads to get to camp sites and would likely be a problem with loose sand in spots or mud if wet. Plus no cell since on lee side of big Mesa feature.
Note the two BLM developed fee CGs on Temple wash do not have water or trash.

GuideThough we tend to prefer a more low-key experience, GBSP camping is beautiful and the sites are well taken care of. If you're fortunate enough, snag a site adjacent the sweet rocks. Level sites w shades at the picnic tables. The bathroom has running hot and cold water, and there are showers available. Expensive, but the fee includes entry to the state park.
LegendThe 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.
TravelerThis 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!
GuideWe got really lucky and were able to book a tent site day-of in the National Park... There are a ton of campsites here, plenty for RVs and tents alike. The site we got was a walk-in (there were 4-6 of these available). The walk-in sites have assigned parking spots and you have to walk a very short distance to get to your spot. All of them had a table and flat spot to pitch your tent, and the spots were far enough apart that you still felt like you had privacy. The bathrooms were super clean (I didn't see any showers). It was such a beautiful place to camp – the sunset over the cliffs above us was spectacular, and there was a group of deer that wandered through the sites during the evening. I would absolutely stay here again!
