Cathedral Valley Campground — Capitol Reef National Park
Reviewed Mar. 11, 2017

Pure Darkness

One of the darkest, most secluded places I've set up camp. The views are absolutely worth it. After the moon set, you could read by starlight. It's a hard drive to get there, definitely recommend a 4x4 with high clearance. There are two way to get there, one being through Fishlake National Forest off of 72 where you weave through the mountains, (We saw it snow at the peak of the mountain when we crossed.) and the other of 24 near Cainsville through Cathedral Valley and the bentonite hills. Bring lots of water, no supply out there. Had fire pits and a drop toilet at the site surprisingly for how remote it was.
