Learn more about this land: Welcome to Road to the Sun Ranch, our quiet RV retreat in Grover, Utah, near Capitol Reef National Park. We created this site for travelers who want a peaceful place to land at the end of the day — somewhere with wide-open views, quiet evenings, and the feeling of being away from it all, without giving up the ease of full hookups. The ranch sits along Scenic Highway 12 near the base of Boulder Mountain, about 6 miles from Torrey and approximately 15 miles from Capitol Reef National Park. The property is a mix of open pasture, desert sage, pinyon pine, mountain views, and big Southern Utah sky. It is a beautiful place to slow down, watch the light move across the landscape, and enjoy the quiet side of Capitol Reef Country. We offer just one private RV/trailer/van site, so you will not be tucked into a crowded campground or sharing the space with a row of other campers. The site includes water, power, sewer, WiFi, and a picnic table, making it a comfortable basecamp for exploring Capitol Reef, Boulder Mountain, Torrey, Scenic Highway 12, Fishlake National Forest, the Burr Trail, and the surrounding red-rock country. This site is best for self-contained RVs, trailers, and camper vans. Guests need to have their own bathroom available, so we are not able to accommodate tent-only camping or car camping. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, and the private setting is one of the things dog owners tend to love most. We just ask that you clean up after pets, pack out your trash, and help us keep the ranch peaceful and clean for the next guests. For safety, open wood-burning fires are not permitted. Maximum trailer length is 28 feet, and maximum RV length is 35 feet. Class A motorhomes are not recommended. Livestock may be present in adjacent pastures during the summer and fall months, typically June through September. The site is open seasonally from April through October. We hope Road to the Sun Ranch gives you a quiet, comfortable place to rest, explore, and enjoy this beautiful part of Southern Utah.
