  Nice facilities & cute place

  Just 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.

  Thousand Lakes RV Park

  Your gateway to the Boulder Mountain

  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.

  Goblin Valley State Park Campground

  Yurt 1 Goblin Valley

  3 nights in Yurt 1. Coolest yurt location of any we’ve stayed in previously. Beautiful canyon. Heater worked well. There are a couple electrical receptacles. BBQ works well. Fire pit and picnic table are great. The park office has ice and firewood. Everything was great about our stay, EXCEPT… mice. The yurt management should either let guests know this in advance, or set some traps and take care of the problem. Make sure and only store food in mice proof containers, otherwise they will infiltrate.

  Wonderland RV Park

  Torrey UT

  Wonderland was a great place to stay to visit Capitol Reef National Park. Only a few miles to the entrance. Park was clean and the town of Torrey was small but great. Our site was #5. Good amount of space but you are still close to your neighbors. FHUs, restrooms, showers, and laundry available. Apple trees are scattered throughout the campground. We ate dinner at a great food truck Capitol Burger in Torrey.

  Mini Mars

  Had a great time in Goblin Valley. Camping was affordable and so pretty. The night sky was unbeatable. At the time the bathrooms and showers were closed but there was a bathroom open by the yurts. We stayed in an RV lot which was a few minutes from the trail heads. Excited to come back with bikes to see more of the area. Fire pits and fires allowed. No cell service but an amazing way to see Utah without the Moab traffic. It’s a small park with a small visitor center and a handful of trails, but they all make up for the size with their unique views. And, valley of the goblins has no trails so you can wander all day.

  Sand Creek RV, Cabins, Tents

  Sand Creek RV Park, Utah

  Located 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.

  Another world!

  This place is so cool! Truly never seen anything like it. Tent sights are great and nestled in the rocks. We drive in with no reservation and we’re able to find a spot. The yurt spots are really something special though! There’s also a cool frisbee golf course in the camp ground.

  Girls Winter Weekend

  I guess you could say I’m the adventurous one of my friends. I was thrilled when I convinced them to come camping in winter, and we compromised with staying in a yurt. We had the whole park to ourselves and desert fox friends. We woke up to snow in the red rocks and made memories we will never forget.

  Attentive Service

  It’s close to Capitol Reef NP, Torrey & fuel. Night Sky telescope available, bikes for kids, clean bathrooms and traveled RV sites. But I was pleased to meet the owner who came and greeted me at my site, chatting and said to call if I needed anything. Close to Scenic Byway 12 too. Stayed 2 nights.

  Goblin Valley State Park Campground

  Pretty spot, minimal services

  The 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.

  Nice Place, good restaurant

  This is a good location for visiting Capitol Reef.  The sites were nice.  Gravel with trees.  Bathrooms were good and clean.  The pool was nice.  There's a decent little camp store and the staff was very helpful.  A unique feature of this campground is having a nice restaurant --which I believe is entirely independently owned-- right in the middle.  Torrey Grill & BBQ served great food in a really pleasant, covered patio.

  Wonderland RV Park

  Decent, crowded place

  For a town of Torrey with a population a little over 100, this is a Hotspot for through-passing travellers. Was booked fully at arrival and departure. Glad we had our 1 night reservation. Good spot if exploring capitol reef national park, also good spot for longer stays with washer and dryer on site and other services available. Long pull through sites for RV and motor homes. Would visit again if passing through and needed hookups. Cons: busy and expensive

  Goblin Valley State Park Campground

  Perfect Weekend Trip

  The park and campground are small and the camp sites are fairly close to one another, so it's likely that you will hear and interact with other campers. The campground is a short hike and even shorter drive to the goblins and the grounds itself is surrounded by red rock that you can climb and explore. I stayed in a tent, but there are yurts available as well. It's also about a 10-20 minute drive to Little Wild Horse and Bell Canyon if you're interested in slot canyons. Very family friendly. I'd also recommend the Goblin's Lair hike. My favorite by far in the park.

  Goblin Valley State Park Campground

  Desert oasis

  Goblin Valley State park is located on off of Hwy 24 between Hanksville and Green River UT, This is a 24 site campground inside the park. There are 14 Vehicle / RV sites and 10 tent only. There are also two yurts to rent.  The campground is in good condition, Each site has a paved parking spot, four are pull through ADA spots for bigger RV's. There are fire pits, picnic tables, and tent pads at each site. There are also sunshade structures at each site. Note: be careful when you pick a site online, a few structures face into the afternoon sun, we chose poorly, we had to put up a tarp for shade.  There are flush toilets and showers located in the one restroom. There is also a pit toilets up near the yurts The park is super family friendly and there are a lot of areas to explore. So the CG will have a good amount of families and kids. That didn't bother us, we enjoyed seeing all the kids explore the goblins and rock formations near the CG. There is a big group site too which looks to cost $100 on the reservation site. There is a dump staion and trash dumpsters located across from the rest room. There are potable water spigots located throughout the CG.

  The CG gives direct access to the Curtis Bench Trail and the Entrada Canyon trail. You can hike and Mt. Bike right from the CG to all areas of the park. Some notable hikes are the Three Sister, Carmel Canyon, and Goblins Lair, which is actually the Mollys Castle overlook trail.

  Goblin Valley State Park Campground

  One of the best State campsite!

  Goblin Valley is a drive, but a beautiful State Park Campsite. The amazing formations are on your doorsteps! There are 24 site campground, 1 group site, and 2 yurts with centrally located restroom and shower facilities. Yes, I said showers!! And pretty clean and maintained showers/ restrooms. Because of the limited numbers of campsites, do plan ahead. You will need to stay a few days!! And if you enjoy mountain biking!! Don’t forget to carry it.. there are many off roading bike routes! This place is very much kid friendly.

  If the weather is right, visit the Wild Horse Slot Canyon, 8 miles round trip. There are so many trails and hikes in the surrounding area. Have fun!!

  Goblin Valley State Park Campground

  Never get tired of coming here!

  We came in winter this time and got a tent camp easily, only one other group was camping. If you dont want to tent camp in the winter they also have yurts for rent. We had a different approach to Goblin Valley this time around and decided to do the Lair of the Basilisk (Goblins Lair) canyoneering route. We got to hike in and around snow covered hoodoos that culminates in a 100' drop into the lair! It is truly a magical place and worth a visit! You can also get ti the lair by a now popular marked trail around the east side of the park. 60 m rope recommended plus helmets.

  Fruita Campground — Capitol Reef National Park

  National park camping at its best; close to places to explore

  You know you're in a national park campground when it's quiet before quiet hours start at 10 pm. People are here to enjoy the beauty of Capitol Reef, and they're tired. And you need to get up early the next day to beat the afternoon threat of thunderstorms.

  This campground has 3 loops with lots of trees...and grass!   Finding a spot for a tent (or two or three) at a site is easy. There are 5 walkin tent sites on loop B and 2 on loop C.

  Site parking pads are quite large. Ours (#13) fit our vehicle and teardrop trailer side by side with lots of room in between. We had reserved this site for two nights and then moved to #8, one of the few available sites on Sunday morning. When you look at the parking pads, you may think you share yours with another site. Nope! The pads in loop C are longer but not as wide.

  Drinking water and a dishwashing sink are located near each restroom (flush toilets and sinks). Showers are available for $6 at the Chuckwagon in Torrey. You can also find Wi-fi in Torrey at the Chuckwagon, Rim Rock and visitor center.

  Something unique about this campground: Mulford Orchard is on the edge of loop C. You can pick your own apricots and pay $1/pound (honor system). When you are in the orchard or any of the others in town named after Mormon settlers, you can eat the fruit... for free. There's also Hickman House near loop A which sells cinnamon rolls, small pies and sourdough bread; people line up when it opens at 8 am.

  You'll need to get in your car and drive to many sights, but there are a few you can hike to from the campground:

  1. Cohab Canyon: It's a 3.4 mile roundtrip if you hike to Utah 24 and back, but you should go to the overlooks that are spurs off the route (which add 1.2 miles to the hike). Or continue across Rt 24 and hike to Hickman Bridge, a 1.8 mile roundtrip.

  2. Fremont River trail

  3. Fremont Gorge Overlook Trail, a 4+ mile roundtrip from the blacksmith's shop

  4. The truly ambitious can hike to Cassidy Arch from the campground by way of Cohab Canyon, Frying Pan and Cassidy Arch Trails. I wouldn't try that in July-August when it seems like thunderstorms are possible every afternoon.

  Be sure to get the Fruita area map and guide in addition to the usual NPS brochure.

  Goblin Valley State Park Campground

  Explore the hoodoos!

  General: Small campground with 24 sites, and two yurts. Sites are designated as RV or tent with the main difference being that the tent sites have multiple vehicle pads right next to each other. We did see some vans in the tent sites and in November, that was not a problem. All camping is dry camping. Each site has a covered picnic table with side shelters, not needed when we were there in November but a necessity in the warmer months, and a fire pit. 

  Site Quality: All camper pads are paved and level. Some were pull-thru and others back-in. The ones on the exterior of the loop have the best views IMO. 

  Bathhouse: (automatic) flush toilets, two sinks, paper towels, and soap. There were showers but they were closed for the season as of November 6. 

  Activities: There are three valleys filled with hoodoos. No distinct trails so you can wander freely among the hoodoos. Several moderately challenging hiking trails, including one directly from the campground (Entrada). We did the Caramel Canyon Loop which included several scrambles in narrow canyons (but doable for two seniors – 65 and 71 years old in good physical shape). There are also designated biking trails and horseback riding is allowed in the Red Canyon Primitive area. 

  We were last here 35 years ago, but it was so much fun to explore the area again. Utah State Parks are getting pricey (not the only expensive state) but this one is worth it IMO. It is a photographer's dream!

  Fruita Campground — Capitol Reef National Park

  Beautiful campground

  Thie sites in this campground are now $25/night. This is a beautiful campground with lots of shade trees. Some sites are shaded all day long. There are 3 loops. Loop A and B seem to have the most campsites and it's a little louder. The sites in loop C are more spread out.  The campground is well maintained and clean. There's a lovely walking path along the Fremont River that goes from the campground to the Gifford house (the store with the pies) and on to the visitor center. There is no cell reception at the campground, but the Visitor Center has free wifi and is a little more than a mile away. I was told there are public showers in Torrey (11 miles away), but I did not check them out.

  Thousand Lakes RV Park

  A beautiful campground!

  This 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!

  Wonderland RV Park

  Wonderland indeed!

  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!

  Goblin Valley State Park Campground

  Basic Campground in the middle of the desert

  Drive through video tour

  Here is the deal. If you need a campground with some amenities then this might be the place for you. It has a dump station, places to fill up water and bathrooms/showers. Keep in mind that during the winter the water is probably shut off.

  You get the above for $35 a night. This includes free neighbors close by to talk to.

  Now, if you don't really need all of the above and don't want to pay $35 a night, you need to check out all of the BLM land out here. There are SOOO many FREE places to camp away from everyone. Certain times of the year can get busy but you still can't beat free.

  Okay, back to the campground review. When I visited the area was well kept and clean. The water was off for the winter so the flush toilets and showers weren't available. Vault toilets were open.

  The sites aren't crammed together but you will still have neighbors. Each site has a table, fire pit, shade shelter and tent pad area. There are a couple of yurts that you can rent and also some tent only spots that you are required to walk to.

  Overall, it is a decent campground but I would prefer to stay for free on BLM land. I am also set up with a toy hauler that I can be self sufficient for a week. So, if you need or want the amenities of a campground then you can't really go wrong here. You also don't have much of a choice out here in the middle of nowhere. 🤣

  Fruita Campground — Capitol Reef National Park

  Hidden Spot At A Quiet Park

  Great campground located at the entrance to Capitol Reef National Park.

  Camped here during the pandemic and enjoyed a very comfortable and beautiful experience. The site I called in was in a great location near the campground hosts and the entrance. It was very quiet even though it was completely full.

  The loops within the campground are well marked and everyone was very respectful when driving or at their sites. The views during the day are great with the fruit orchards around you, and a backdrop of the beautiful surrounding mountains.

  There is a great little store and museum (Gifford House) within the campground area. They have fantastic fruit pies and ice cream. The Rangers and staff are all very nice and super helpful.

  At night you have a great dark sky view of the Milky Way. You have to walk out of the tree covered campsites onto Scenic Drive, but it's well worth it.

  I also had my bike with me and rode it the next morning up the scenic drive and explored some of the areas within the National Park. Later I drove my Jeep into the park and really got to enjoy how close the sites are to the beautiful scenery.

  The orchards around the campground are available at times to pick fresh fruit. This also draws on a lot of wildlife like the deer in my pictures. The orchard parking got very crowded as the day went on. If you are in the campground, you can take a walk to the orchards.

  The only downside is the fact you have absolutely no cell service once into the park, and this includes the campground area. There is wifi provided for emergencies by the hosts. But if you need cell service, or data, you need to actually drive nearly 20 min to the town of Torrey. The town has limited cell service as well as town wide wifi.

  Even with this drawback, I would return to the Fruita Campground any time.

  Fruita Campground — Capitol Reef National Park

  Beautiful spot in the middle of the desert!

  Capitol reef is such an interesting park and so much less crowded than the others in Utah. You’ll see a lot of the same impressive red rocks but fruita is located near the orchards which is such a nice oasis. It’s still the desert, so don’t expect tons of privacy or shade. But the spaces are nice enough and perfect drive into the rest of the park!

  Nice little campground

  Great little campground right off 12. Only a few site here for tents and rvs. No electricity but does have water and pot toilets (very clean). This place is surrounded with pine trees and a rushing stream. Very well maintained and only 12$ a night. Was a nice break from my dusty Utah desert camping. Picnic table, fire ring with grate, as well as a bbq grill all provided.
