Top 10+ Campgrounds near Joseph, UT

You need permission to hike in. When we showed up, there were turkey hunters already up there. I would do much more research than we did before going to make sure it’s open

This was a super easy on and off, clean, new, nice amenities, not very crowded and right at the gas stations. The views were beautiful

Medium sized campground. They close at 4 so if you’re expecting to be taken to your site as their website indicates be prepared to be disappointed. We had a devil of a time finding our site as the map they gave us was unclear as it apparently was for other folks that came in when we did. The manager (I think) came out as I was walking around trying to find our site # and said no way would we fit in that site. So she moved us to a larger one with a patio and chairs which was nice. Gravel sites- ours had the fake grass that actually made it pretty. It’s ok for a one night stop but don’t think you’d want to stay longer.

The road is well maintained. I drove my small 25’ RV down it easily. The spring is large enough to accommodate 20 people is. The main spring is right around a 100• comfortable enough that you are never too hot or too cold. It’s only about 5 miles of the main highway. It’s worth a stop.

Hot shower, wifi, and RV hookups. About 20 min from Capitol Reef’s Visitor Center

Location is very easy to set up in and not too much going on around, but the stars were the best i’ve ever seen.

I've been here in the summer and winter. Stayed in one of their buses and camped. Both times have been fun experiences. The camping here isn't for everyone, but if you read up ahead of time, you won't be disappointed. The showers are functional, though not private(gender separate facilities but no individual shower spaces). The scenery and hot springs make up for that. We were also told a lot of changes and upgrades were in the works.

Great spot off 15 to stop for the night.

No room in RV site for tent so moved to grassy tent site. Most sites appear to be occupied by long term rentals. Host was very friendly and helpful in accommodating my needs.

Very clean restrooms, relatively quiet, well maintained.

Perfect place for an evening stop over. Easy access on a gravel road. Public restroom was clean.

Stayed 6/1-4 in space 9. Very shady campground and campsite. Creek runs thru but not by this site. Only 1 vault toilet for the family campground, so walked over to Group site toilets which were cleaner. One trail out of camp to Rock Canyon but it was fairly steep and rocky so didn't do much of it. Did walk up and down paved road into camp and then on dirt roads off main road that had a few FCFS dry camp pull out areas along the creek. Campsites well spaced many with good views of valley or the red rock cliffs. No ATVs allowed in campground. Spaces 15 and 20 were also good, 10 is double size but same price with large drive and nice views to red cliffs. Camp host unobtrusive.

Would be great during fall colors. Saw some bear scat on trail closer to I-70

Just needed to find a place for the night and this was perfect! No one around, huge site, beautiful views and free! Cows meander around the campsite..didn't bother us. If you go past where the directions take you, there are 3 or 4 spots that are also nice. Road is easy to travel.

The camping is funky but functional. And overpriced. You pay per person not per vehicle.

Danny the owner, was great. Could not have asked for more. He started us right out with a 5 dollar per day discount.stayed two days then had to leave. Will stay again.
