5 Reviews of Sunglow Campground
Sunglow
Beautiful place. It is about a 15-20 minute drive from Capitol Reef National Park. Bad: Tent sites are small. Depending on the site, you will have to put your tent on the gravel spots for cars. Not many sites. I imagine on a spring/summer weekend it will fill up. Not lots of shade, but some juniper trees. Good: Flush toilets where a pleasant surprise. Great scenery. Kids wanted to explore all over. The red rock cliffs are pretty. It is close to town if you need something, but at camp it doesn’t feel close to town. We got there at 2 pm on a Thursday in July and only one spot had been claimed.
Amazing Views
Amazing views, red rock cliffs and red dirt for miles.
Primitive camping with nice tables, and bathrooms, and fire pits. It can get hot here in the summer and it is nice that they have drinking water at the campsites. They have a big group site that can be reserved and it will hold lots of people. Lots of fun hikes close by. Lots of fun hills for the kids to climb.
Beautiful
We enjoyed camping in one of the two group sites. Our two tent trailers fit nice and there was a lot of space for the kids to run around. Each site has water and the bathrooms were clean with sinks and flush toilets.
Beautiful Scenery and Good Location
It was a little crowded in the designated areas so we found a dispersed camping spot a little down the road. Very pretty area. Very close to Capital Reef.
Nice
It's first come first serve and the cost $12 per night. Bathroom with running water. 20 minute drive to Capitol Reef. The sites were nice some bigger than others. Of the 9 sites, 2 were for groups and were to be reserved.
