New, Clean, Minor Improvements
21 ft Class C · Group trip · Our stay at Capitol Reef RV Park was good. While a bit further from the national park than I expected, the views were beautiful.
I had been frustrated to find that I booked a specific site (44), but when I got there the spot was taken. I had to go to the front desk and they were unable to give me my spot and moved me to another one that was open. So just note that their system is new and will likely kick you out of the spot you booked (it sounded like this had occurred before).
We especially appreciated the hot showers and private bathrooms which were new, clean, and stocked (but bring your own towels!). Note that some of the bathrooms had warm air, while others were cool. Some also gave a longer shower limit (we found some gave 12 minutes, while others just 8 minutes). The signs indicate a 3 minute hold after the timer goes off, but it’s actually 5 minutes. The shower doors are also a bit short, resulting in the floor mat outside the shower getting drenched and water pooling on the floor. Despite these things, having a hot shower was glorious after days of hiking.
There were some noises later at night than I would hope from neighboring RV’s (specifically a yapping dog at 10:30pm for about 15 minutes).
Overall, this is one of the nicest hipp camps I’ve been to, especially for the price and location. There are still some things that need to be optimized as the new facilities get up and running.
