Welcome to Road to the Sun Ranch, our quiet RV retreat in Grover, Utah, near Capitol Reef National Park. We created this site for travelers who want a peaceful place to land at the end of the day — somewhere with wide-open views, quiet evenings, and the feeling of being away from it all, without giving up the ease of full hookups.
The ranch sits along Scenic Highway 12 near the base of Boulder Mountain, about 6 miles from Torrey and approximately 15 miles from Capitol Reef National Park.
The property is a mix of open pasture, desert sage, pinyon pine, mountain views, and big Southern Utah sky. It is a beautiful place to slow down, watch the light move across the landscape, and enjoy the quiet side of Capitol Reef Country.
We offer just one private RV/trailer/van site, so you will not be tucked into a crowded campground or sharing the space with a row of other campers. The site includes water, power, sewer, WiFi, and a picnic table, making it a comfortable basecamp for exploring Capitol Reef, Boulder Mountain, Torrey, Scenic Highway 12, Fishlake National Forest, the Burr Trail, and the surrounding red-rock country.
This site is best for self-contained RVs, trailers, and camper vans. Guests need to have their own bathroom available, so we are not able to accommodate tent-only camping or car camping.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome, and the private setting is one of the things dog owners tend to love most. We just ask that you clean up after pets, pack out your trash, and help us keep the ranch peaceful and clean for the next guests.
For safety, open wood-burning fires are not permitted. Maximum trailer length is 28 feet, and maximum RV length is 35 feet. Class A motorhomes are not recommended. Livestock may be present in adjacent pastures during the summer and fall months, typically June through September.
The site is open seasonally from April through October. We hope Road to the Sun Ranch gives you a quiet, comfortable place to rest, explore, and enjoy this beautiful part of Southern Utah.

Don't miss this incredible experience to stay inside a rock. Your rooms have been hand-carved and blasted by your host from a 6,000' foot stand-alone boulder with a private cave entrance, patio, and complete with a 10' foot deep natural swimming pool and waterslide. The cave stay at the Bedrock Homestead is noted by visitors as a highlight of southern Utah, and is a perfect fit if you're seeking some downtime during your vacation, getting a step away, finding some adventure, and experiencing something that's completely unique. Grandfathered into the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, the 40 acre creek-fed homestead offers hiking from the backdoor, and from the roof of the rock house, a sweeping view of the canyon, sunset and brilliant star show.

The camp was full of deer, but it wasn't an overwhelming amount. Plenty of shade from the trees in the area. Lots of hiking and cool spots to visit within the park!!
Stargazing will forever be my favorite memory of this national park. Will definitely be back.

Camped here mid October and it was chilly, but beautiful. I hate to recommend it because I don't want it getting too popular! ;)
May 2017
Amazing campground. We stayed in Loop B, which didn't have many RVs. Mostly tent campers and Van Conversion campers. It was more of a park setting at the start of the scenic highway with plenty of trees (but almost none close enough for hammocks). Some sites get more shade (loop B). Mule deer roamed from the orchards (nearest loop c) through loops B and A, to the horse corrals.

Great spot, with some great hikes nearby. Nice jumping off spot for a long day drive doing the Burr Trail loop. Gets very popular in the fall; people need to get there in the AM to get a site. Much more of a garden (well, orchard) type campground than the usual National Park offering; a sort of oasis in the desert, not a "wilderness" type experience.
