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.

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.

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!!

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.

It was so nice to have a private spot to go to. We travel with our dogs and a cat and at regular rv parks or campgrounds the dogs would hear every movement. ROAD TO SUN RANCH WAad private with nice views. They even left us coffee, which was great.

We had a great 6 night stay with our 2 dogs at Road to the Sun Ranch. It was very private, a good respite from our days in Capitol Reef National Park. There are a number of places near the location (and outside the Park) for us to give our dogs exercise before we headed out for our own adventures.

This is our second visit to this beautiful property! It is very private and has all the camping necessities- sewer, water and electricity. The site is very clean. It is spacious and there is plenty of room for doggies to run and have a little freedom. We enjoyed just spending the afternoons - after hiking in nearby Capitol Reef - just enjoying relaxation time! Zach is a great host. He communicates well and is very accommodating. We will definitely be back again!
