Best Cabin Camping near Torrey, UT

We spent a single night in one of the tent sites, which are immediately behind the office/owner's residence. Sites have a parking space, fire ring with grill attachment, a picnic table and a gravel tent pad. They are small, and not separated from one another, so if you're looking for any level of privacy you won't find it here. On the other hand, if you like sharing space with other campers you may enjoy it. You also may experience those staying in the RV section walking through your site in order to get to the restrooms/showers.

The campground has both firewood and ice available for purchase. The remainder of the campground store is currently closed due to Covid regulations.

If you have any concerns about Covid (this is being written in September 2020), SC is not a site I would recommend. While the owners have placed signs suggesting social distancing guidelines, including masks while in the restrooms/shower area, compliance among the campers in a nearly full campground was minimal. One unmasked female camper was loudly discussing all the airports she had passed through on her way to the area, including Chicago and Denver. 

Even little details were missed, like the soap in the restrooms being organic and not antibacterial.

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.

If you have a self-contained RV and are just looking for a place to park for the night, Sand Creek is likely to fit your needs. For a tent camper, its main recommendation is the ability to reserve a site in advance, as most of the other campgrounds in the area are first come, first serve.

When I called, I was told there was tent camping only or rustic cabins. When I explained we had a camper van, I was told it would be ok. Upon arrival, we were told to park anywhere we could find a spot (and there was a truck camper doing the same). Lucky for us, we ended up at the end of the row, right next to the laundry room with a family restroom and shower. The downside to this was a lack of privacy as people entered the laundry room. 

There are nine tent pads; 1-5 are very close together and there is no privacy between them but 6-9 are spaced a bit further apart. There is a covered picnic pavilion that can be used by the tent campers as well as what appeared to be picnic tables by each pad. I don’t know the cost of the cabins but for “tent” (for us, van) camping, it was $8 per person, reasonable considering the use of restrooms and showers were included. There is a store (with gear, clothing, and other souvenirs) and café on the premises; when we were there, the hours were limited(due to Covid) but their website indicates they are open for lunch and dinner till 8 or 9 pm (depending on the season). So, we quickly ate at the café (the sandwiches were delicious) and then settled in. The showers had plenty of HOT water, which after four days without a shower, was like heaven to us. 

The laundry room was well-lit and had a table for folding laundry (or sitting at while waiting). 

Although there is much to do in the area, there were no specific activities offered by Escalante Outfitters. For us in our van, we paid $16 to park in a gravel lot but the showers made it well worth the price.

This 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!

First of all staff is amazing, so friendly and consistent maintenance routines (not annoying though).

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. They also have tent and cabin sites available.

Facilities were very clean. Office/general store was nice, all the basics; food, ice, wood and souvenirs. Pool is small but well kept. There is a large park area in the center with a playground and volleyball court. Super kid friendly. Bathroom/shower were very clean, a little reminiscent of my scouting days though having plywood doors and gate hinges, does the job though.

Only bad things I can say is that it’s not walking distance to town and no adult beverages sold. Plan ahead and that should not be a problem.

I will definitely stay here again given the chance.

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.
