Very close to Capitol Reef National Park. Bathrooms are very clean. View is pretty. They have a pool, we didn't use it, but it looked nice, just small. Their tent sites have walls/fences in between and that is such a great idea that I've not seen anywhere else before. Their RV spots are spacious and gave us room for us. I would definitely come back!

So, just be prepared for that.

I didn't use the RV Park but did use their Jeep rental services. Instructions were very clear and the car seemed well-maintained and clean. We did opt to pay the additional $50 cleaning fee rather than drive the next town over to clean the vehicle ourselves. They appeared to have limited stock, so I'd suggested booking a rental early. We really enjoyed being able to do roads like the Cathedral Va... I didn't use the RV Park but did use their Jeep rental services.

We've been coming here for decades and it has always been a great experience. They have accommodations for a wide range of visitor types. On prior visits we've pitched a tent, and stayed at the cabins, but this year we brought our tent trailer. They have full hookups which made our stay so much more convenient. They offer showers, a pool, a large grassy field in the middle where I played football... We've been coming here for decades and it has always been a great experience.

They offer showers, a pool, a large grassy field in the middle where I played football with my kids, laundry, new dining options, all the food, firewood, ice you could want on site. The grounds are clean and well maintained and offer some beautiful views of the surrounding red rocks.

Very well maintained park with clean & spacious RV sites. Well organized. Best part is Torrey Grill & BBQ that serves food which is great if you are hungry & don't know where to eat. Excellent food & service. We met a group of Floridians on vacation & had a wonderful time. We will return surely.

This is always our favorite place to stay when we go to Capital Reef National Park. This will make our 15th time. We will never go anywhere else. The people are great, the campsites are immaculate and everyone is so friendly.

The staff is full of awesome people who go out of their way to help customers. The sites are great too and offer lots of shade. I spend a lot of time here every summer can highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the camper lifestyle.

Love this place but has become way too expensive...over $70/night are you serious? Especially in the winter....I don't think I will ever stay here again! Sad times but true. I can go to a place with full hookups within 45 minutes of this place and they charge less than $50/night with full hookups and amenities!!!

They are very strict with all of the rules. This is okay but we did feel like they were watching us a lot. Quick family trip. The Provo airport is next store making it louder than when we stayed here a few years ago. Hosts were polite and helpful in getting us spots next to friends. Seems to have a lot of long term guests and the whole park was quiet by 8:30 on the weekend.

The office was Closed on Sunday and out of all soft drinks but service on Saturday and Monday was exceptional. Very convenient and maintained site. The location and facility were also great for several low-traffic bike rides.

The park is predominately occupied by folks who are there for extensive periods of time. Although, that is ok, we felt like "outsiders" while we were there. Very few cordial folks and even less so when we spoke or tried to acknowledge them. Pretty much ignored us. One person who was parked next to us was (at least) communicable. One employee even went out of her way to come out of the office, rush... The park is predominately occupied by folks who are there for extensive periods of time. Although, that is ok, we felt like "outsiders" while we were there. Very few cordial folks and even less so when we spoke or tried to acknowledge them. Pretty much ignored us. One person who was parked next to us was (at least) communicable. One employee even went out of her way to come out of the office, rush towards us while we were walking our dogs and chastised us for walking them in an "unauthorized" area of the park. No kindness or consideration of the fact only 1 sign indicated the area was designated as such and was on the opposing side of where we were walking. We saw it as we were leaving the area. All things considered, that particular encounter sealed our decision to leave. We are full timers, retired and enjoy meeting, making friends, camping and relaxing. This is not the place for that. This place is ok for a day if you need to unwind between legs of your trip but it isn't a destination. Lastly, the lake is not next to the park. We cut our stay short and left 7 days prior to our original leave date.
