Fantastic Stay – Spotless, Well-Equipped, and Exceptional Service
We had a wonderful stay at Canyons of Escalante RV Park. The entire property is spotless—easily the cleanest facilities we’ve seen on the road. The showers, restrooms, and laundry were immaculate, and the amenities are top-notch: fast Wi-Fi, private showers, a well-kept dog park, shady picnic areas, and beautiful landscaping.
What really made our visit exceptional was Ben. When we had a mechanical failure, he went out of his way to help us—far beyond what we expected. His kindness and support turned a stressful moment into a manageable one, and we’re incredibly grateful.
This park is a gem—quiet, clean, and close to incredible hiking and scenic drives. Highly recommend it, and we’ll definitely be back!

The cabin is the perfect size for having a home base at the end of a day of adventuring. The king size bed was comfy, but the pillows were thin and we only got one each which was a little uncomfortable. The grounds are well maintained and well lit at night with motion lights so it feels safe and secure. We had a nice, relaxing time!

Wonderland was a great place to stay if you’re looking to travel to Capital Reef National Park! It was a short 10 minute drive, and there were plenty of food options within the town! The bathrooms were clean, staff was friendly, and the wagon was the perfect small getaway for my fiancé and I! Definitely recommend.

Wow Factor
Capital Reef has a Wow factor. Every corner I turned I found I was saying Wow!! The small town of Torrey is lovely and full of friendly folks. Make sure to visit the Torrey Trading Post.
It is important to go to the Visitors Center to highlight all the
Points of interest. I found I missed a few because I didn’t travel far enough east on Route 24.
Thousand Lakes RV park hosts The Torrey Grill open from 5-9 (check for days). Great smoked meats like tri tip and ribeye.
Don’t miss the Etta Place Cidery!! Fabulous mead and ciders and a bartender (Elzy) who can tell you almost anything about Butcher Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Only downside is that it is FF and only has five spots. It is primitive with pack-out for trash and no water but with planning it makes a great little spot off the main path to use as a base to explore and enjoy the stars. Can get a bit windy but tent was I to the challenge. Road could be a challenge after heavy rains.

Red Rock Majesty
Capitol Reef is easily my favorite of the Utah parks. The Waterpocket Fold is mind-blowing, and the Hickman Bridge hike is a must-do for some incredible views without the soul-crushing crowds you find at other parks. Make sure to drive the Scenic Drive all the way to Capitol Gorge—walking through the "wash" between those massive canyon walls is an unforgettable experience. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who loves rugged beauty and peace.
