Customer Reviews
Great campground. Super remote. We were there for a day and never saw another soul. Both att and Verizon had zero coverage. We have the 5w gmrs radios and there was nobody in range. i would recommend having an iridium or inmarsat phone in case of emergency. The sign has "no rv's" spray painted on it but a small/midsize rv with decent ground clearance can go there. Anything over 30' would be tough to turn around. road looks sandy but there is only a few inches of sand on top of a rocky substrate, so 2wd is fine. Just don't drive your 40' Prevost or wanderlodge there.
It was absolutely beautiful there was no light pollution so the sky was gorgeous it was quiet and peaceful. That being said it is primitive camping although there are picnic tables of fire pit and a toilet but you'll need to pack in and pack out. My final point of note is that getting to the campground requires you to traverse about 5 mi of fairly rough road consisting of sand rocks and a lot of washboards and some potholes I wouldn't want to try it with anything less than about 3 inches of clearance on the vehicle so sedans are pretty much out I definitely wouldn't try to take an RV down there.
An off the beaten path campground in Capital Reef NP. First come first serve and free! We were there on a weekday in October and there was only one other group there at the time. The last few miles to the campground is on a dirt road but it is in really good shape! We loved staying here!
This is a free first come first serve campground in the National Park. We got there at 7pm on a Thursday night in June and it still had 3 of the 5 campsites available. Great views from the campsite. It did take quite a while to get out there - most of the road is a very bumpy dirt road. So only drive out there if you’re comfortable with that. There’s a toilet out there as well as each campsite has a fire pit and picnic table.
We thought this was a gem of a campground. Its primitive so pack it in and pack it out. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. Pit toilet was clean even for so being so far out. We were there on Memorial day. Got there at 1130 AM, all five sites were filled by 1 PM. Do the Red Canyon Trail. Its worth it and pretty moderate. It's also a good base and launching site for the surrounding trails. Great sunsets.
