RV campers seeking a base for Capitol Reef exploration will find Thousand Lakes RV Park accommodates rigs up to 70 feet with full hookups on gravel sites. The campground sits 11 miles from Capitol Reef National Park's entrance, with views extending north toward red cliffs and Thousand Lakes Mountain, and south to Boulder Mountain.
Sites fill quickly during peak season, with pull-through spots offering more space than back-in sites along the rear fence line. Brad B. notes the location is "close to town but close to the boulder mountains." The campground maintains level sites that staff groom daily, though some campers report electrical issues when the park reaches capacity. Power brownouts have occurred in back sites during busy periods.
The on-site general store stocks camping basics, firewood, and propane tanks, while a restaurant serves meals for dining in or takeout. A small swimming pool provides relief during hot summer months, and the central grassy area includes a playground and basketball court. Shower facilities feature hot water, though the buildings show their age with plywood doors and basic fixtures.
Torrey offers additional dining and supply options within walking distance of downtown. The campground operates seasonally from April through October, with reservations recommended especially during July's Apple Days festival. Matthew S. confirms "sites are all gravel with a little grass patch" and notes the absence of significant shade trees.
Book early for summer visits, as the combination of Capitol Reef access and full amenities draws steady crowds throughout the warmer months.
