2 nights at Boulder Meadows

What a great spot! The bath house is super nice -- running water, including 12 minute hot showers included with stay! There's also free laundry if you're staying and a nice big sink that I used to do dishes. A hangout area and tons of outlets for charging up electronics, couch and some tables/chairs, free wifi, and a microwave -- felt like I was glamping! I will definitely recommend this place to others! I will say, the tent camping spots while flat did not appear super level so just be aware of that. Great location close to many things in Grand Staircase as well!

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.

This site is ideal for stopping somewhere near Capitol Reef. Beautiful drive from the park through the National Forest; I was not expecting Ray's place to be as nice as it was. Brand new guest area with a TV, shower, laundry, and bathrooms with great WiFi. Great piece of land with excellent views and better services. As a tent camper Ray was kind enough to offer a trailer for my night's stay due to low temps. I have stayed at multiple hipcamps over the last few years and this is far and away the best. Will be coming back 100% when in the area.

Great location for touring Capital Reef and surrounding area. The back sites on the fence are the best but there is no walking/hiking to speak of out of the campground. Property is well kept, bathrooms/showers clean and nice. The one big drawback was that the dump station doesn't have water so it's really not usable. We just pulled in to one of the sites that had sewer hook-up, glad one was empty.

This is a nice place - they have showers, a restaurant, even a big gift shop. The site itself isn't that interesting, but the back side looks out on the desert. You can bike into town. The hosts are nice. Their cinnamon muffins are really good!

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.

Sites were well maintained. Most had trees that gave partial shade. Park staff were friendly and helpful. WiFi was decent. In fact on this trip (coast to coast and return) it was among the best we encountered. The campground is surrounded by a split rail fence and beyond the fence you’re on Forest Service land so your dog can be off leash. The campground is only a few minutes from the dam and visitors center at the south end of Flaming Gorge.
