    Big John Flat

    Big John Flat

    Very large open camping area with open meadows and large trees. Great place to camp if you are planning to drive the Tushar road to Fremont. Saw a few larger trailers there. Road in is fairly smooth an occasional bump to slow down for. Deer and cows around the area. A lot of room between campsites.

    Cooks Mesa Trailhead Dispersed

    Acceptable Spot in a Pinch

    Pretty location, close to Capitol Reef. Pretty sights. Proximity to the read however the level of noise is acceptable. Some campsites cary residual trash left by fellow campers who need their mother to wipe their rear end and have no respect for the nature.

    Venture RV Richfield

    Overnight stay on my road trip to Moab

    This RV park offers pull through spaces perfect for if you’re pulling a motorhome and a trailer or a bigger rig set up nice right off the highway stopped for one night, easy in and easy out however it is by an airport so there’s a little noise at night, not too bad

    Cook’s Messa Trailhead Dispersed Camping Site 2

    Easy pile in spot

    Right off highway but a very short rocky road, be careful if in a car but should be okay. Good cellphone signal and close to the park and right outside town so from a location perspective ita an A+ for proximity. But this is a pile in spot. The main area here is not secluded its a large oval with some little branch offs, nothing is very defined. At night people juat pile in where they can fit and go to sleep. If you venture around and have 4x4 you might be able to find some better spots but dont try it in the dark. Its VERY dark out here. Overall no issues even with others very close by maybe I was lucky but on my night everyone just wanted a safe place to sleep and we all were respectful
