Campground. Located in Clear Creek Canyon and very easily accessed from Exit 17 on I-70. A small creek runs through the campground, there are no fish.

Common vegetation in the area includes cottonwood, pinion, juniper and Ponderosa pine trees. This campground is open to ATV use.

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

Beautiful campground Quiet and lots of shade Our site had a stream running by it

This is a great little park with beautiful views and lots to do in the area. There is a restaurant on site, small park for the kids, basketball court and dog walk area. The sites are very close no privacy. There are two styles ld cabins. They sell wood and propane by the tank they do not fill tanks.
GuideWe stayed in May 2023 and we were given a site all the way to the back. The view was pretty, the site was level, but 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. The response from the management was, lets just say - unhelpful. Otherwise, it's a good location, the grounds are nicely maintained, the bathroom/showers were old, but they worked and had hot water. Unfortunately for us, we needed electricity for a CPAP, and our RV was 95 degrees inside, so for us, this campground gets two thumbs down.
GuideThe site we camped had a private walk to the little creek, fire ring and picnic table. Well built bathrooms and a garbage dump available for use. $5 for all you can carry in your arms in fire wood… felt private without anyone parked on either side but later people came and the noise went up a little, but overall cute camp. Got one of the first come first serve sites, payment in cash only $20 for the night (established site, no water, no electric, no sewer) Pets allowed-leashed.
GuideArrived too late to do hot springs so I’ll come back and check it out.
Bathrooms for women looked nice but men’s shower and bathrooms were a little rough. Could have been a bit cleaner.
There was a wash station that wasn’t working so I couldn’t wash dishes.
Not a lot of fires and a bit windy. Not too bad.
Full hookup for EV charge was great!
Dog loved the field area lots for him to sniff around.

Setting is simple, nice and clean. Staff was extremely helpful. Located on Highway 24. This is a dark sky community, so it was hard to see the signage, but worth the trouble. Nice enough Mexican restaurant next-door.
Scout
OK, but quite a bit of freeway noise due to proximity and acoustics of site. Limited hiking from site. Need to walk/drive about a mile back down to visitor center to walk trails with petroglyphs.
Guide
This campground is small but there seemed to be plenty of space between sites. It felt quite private and was such a nice sanctuary from the National Park crowds. I reserved site two. It was quite nice with room for one tent. Some sites were much larger, while others were pretty small and probably better for van campers. Get there early enough and you should have some options. Flush toilets and water were a nice benefit.
Scout
Great rec area including a playground. Bathrooms well Maintained and pedal boat and other boat rentals. Plenty of fish to catch off the shore or in a boat
TravelerThe campground was simple, but nice. The showers were not individual, but they were hot and clean. The buses were very unique and gave the campground a fun “hippie” vibe. The hot springs themselves were nice and relaxing.
TravelerStopped here for the night traveling between Moab and Las Vegas after a day of exploring the San Rafeal Swell. This is a great campsite to hang out for a night. Pads a are well established and there are sites big enough for more than one vehicle (we had two and a trailer). Great hiking trails right out the back of the campground
GuideNice spot for a night, was surprised it didn’t get full in a saturday night in early may. cows from a nearby feedlot are fairly vocal nonstop. what looks like a vault toilet turns out to have a flush toilet and sink! cool rocks.
RangerJust like the title says, the bathrooms and showers were very nice and even though the sites were close, there were privacy fences put up. Only problem was the place said it was open and when we tried to go in the office it was closed. Just stayed there for one night and it was around $30, a little pricey but we didn’t have any where else to crash. It was a solid place. Probably better for glamping purposes.
Guide
Overall good campsite, the lock on the bathroom door was broken, not much light pollution, otherwise. DNR officer was kind! Wish there wasn’t so many prickers!
TravelerWhat a nice Park to spend some time in the fascinating area of Capitol Reef NP and Great Escalante NP! Beautiful spots with a perfect view, clean and comfortable restrooms/showers and cute cabins to rent, if you didn’t plan on sleeping in your Van/RV. We were lucky to get Spot 12, a pull through hook-up slot. Thanks for having us, we are happy to come back to the super friendly hosts and this cozy park!
GuideHotsprings were cute and I can imagine that the campground would be amazing in summer. Not a whole lot to go other then the local hotsprings.
RangerThe campsite was large and the views were spectacular. The camp store was great and the folks were nice.
We really enjoyed the restaurant! The owner and staff were extremely friendly and the food was great.
Scout
Stayed 3 nights. Very pretty and very easy to get to. Didn’t stay at the campground drive down an oil rig road and found a camp spot with no one around!!.
ScoutAwesome spot
ScoutClose to a bike/ ohv trail. Restaurant next door. Great view
ScoutBeautiful 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.
GuideStayed at Sam Stowe on our way to Bryce. Stay in site 5. Good site….private. Great hiking trail at the rear of the campground. Goes up the canyon. Visited the various sites for Rock Art through the park. Great stuff. We were able to stream using Verizon. Stayed for two night.
ScoutVery nice campsite and not too far from the freeway, I like it
ScoutArrived on a Sunday in September after the reservation only period. Only two campers (including us) on the campground. It is beautifully settled in the hills. The lake is not accessible at this time due to low water level, but the view in all directions is beautiful. Water and electricity hookups are available, free dump station, too.
GuideTent camping at site 23. $20 for a tent site ($40 for a double site). Cool area to explore. Fire pit and a faucet with a bucket. Bathrooms close by. $5 for a bundle of wood. Nice little spot!
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!
