Trivia time! Which part of Utah contains the densest black bear and largest elk population? The Manti-La Sal National Forest, of course! How about this one: where does most of the coal mined in Utah come from? Well, 85% of it is mined right here in the Manti-La Sal. This special forest is full of natural surprises, like lofty mountaintops, lush meadows, cavernous sandstone canyons, plus plenty of water. If it sounds like there’s a ton of diversity here, that’s because there truly is! All of this diversity means that there’s a lot to do out here. Near Moab, the forest is home to the La Sal Mountains with their tall peaks and narrow canyons. To the north, on the Wasatch Plateau, you’ll be yearning for your next road trip along the Huntington and Eccles Canyons National Scenic Byways (also called the Energy Loop). And when it comes time to hit the hay at night? You guessed it—there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from.

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!

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.

Weekend Trip to Red River Camp - Capitol Reef

Excellent campsite, we had plenty of room for 3 tents and 2 trucks. The views of the red rock are great especially in the morning. There's aPorta a Potty about 100 feet away, I appreciated the illumination at night. The site is quiet and the cost was reasonable, this was much more private than the nearby BLM campsites. The proximity to Capitol Reef and Torrey worked for us. One thing to be prepared for is wind at night and in the morning, common in this area PS recommend breakfast at the Wild Rabbit Cafe in Torrey.

Very private and easy to get to. It was off the highway enough so that it wasn’t noisy but still quick to get to. Also quite close to towns that had gas and food.

Weekend Trip to Red River Camp - Capitol Reef

Views were gorgeous, ground was flat, site was about 15 minutes from Capitol Reef, with a general store, gas stations, and coffee shops between the two. Campsite #4 was a tiny bit separated from the rest of the sites, making it a little more private. Porta potty wasn’t being monitored by host at all the weekend we were here—bring your own toilet paper. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Camp site was very basic with one portable toilet. We had a camper van that navigated well the trail. The views are amazing! Would recommend if you want to camp with no amenities and have a spectacular view

This was a wonderful primitive campsite! It's everything it says in the description, and nothing more. It's secluded with beautiful scenery, and it's close to town if you're looking for a burger. (Try Capitol Burger if you need a suggestion. )
