Welcome to Capitol Reef Country! Road to the Sun Ranch is located in beautiful Grover, Utah (elev 7,200') along Scenic Highway 12, one of the most scenic drives in the United States. We are a pet friendly RV only campsite. The property is a short 6 mile drive from the quaint town of Torrey, host of the annual Fort Desolation Festival and 15 miles by car from Capitol Reef National Park. Our location provides RV travelers with an ideal base camp for exploring the natural wonders of this region of Southern Utah and the majestic Boulder Mountain. The property consists of mostly pasture land, desert sage, pinyon pine trees and panoramic mountain views. The ranch is surrounded by some of the most amazing scenery anywhere and endless outdoor opportunities! We have a single (self check-in) RV/trailer/van parking area complete with water, power, sewer, WiFi and picnic table. All guests MUST have their own bathroom, clean up after pets and pack out any trash. We are unable to accommodate tent or car camping anywhere on the property unless you are with a group that has a trailer or RV equipped with a bathroom available for use during your stay and no open wood burning fires are permitted at this time. Max trailer length is 28'. Max RV length is 35'. Class A motor homes are not recommended. Livestock enjoy the adjacent pastures during Summer and Fall months typically (June-September). The RV site is available seasonally from April - October.

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 view was beautiful, although it was super windy and raining I still enjoyed it! It was somewhat hard to find- the written directions were not accurate but once we just drove we found it! Beautiful views but around the sites it seemed like a lot of random stuff!

Beautiful and peaceful setting. Very clear directions and instructions. It was wonderful having full hook-up! And an extra nice surprise to receive a gift of coffee! Thank you! It was close to the parks we wanted to visit and our dog enjoyed some off-leash time with us. We very much enjoyed our stay there and most definitely would stay again.

Fantastic spot. Private, dark and quiet
Not far from Capital Reef and Torey is a cool little town. Close by. Easy access. It’s like BLM camping with full hookups.

Privacy and views were great. The hookups were straightforward (especially once I got the longer connector hose that was available to borrow) and well maintained. The host qas responsive and helpful but not intrusive. Five stars... And thousands more to see above with the great dark sky conditions. My wife and I loved staying here.

A beautiful and peaceful spot! A great location for stargazing and enjoying your morning coffee while hearing the birds sing and cows mooing in the distance.
The host provided excellent directions and offered detailed information. They also graciously provided us with a bag of local coffee to enjoy. Very thoughtful.
Highly recommend!!

This spot was gorgeous and had the basics we needed -but fair warning that it can be WINDY. I had to adjust a bit of my set up because I travel in luxury 😅
But a nice spot all around once I dialed in.

Wonderful peaceful spot. Minor road noise, but not intrusive. Overall it feels isolated with no near neighbors. Great view across the pasture to Boulder Mountain. Hookups worked well. Easy entry. We love staying here for a few days every year to do hikes in Capitol Reef and Boulder Mtn, as well as biking . Always worth the drive to Boulder for a dinner at Hells Backbone Grill.
