We went end of April and it was not too crowded. We started with Hickman's Bridge trail at 8:30 am after a short stop at the Visitor Center. We stayed at Capitol Reef Resort which gave us a nice handout summarizing the trails as well. For Hickman's Bridge, the small parking lot had a bathroom. It is rated as an easy-moderate trail. The trail was about 250-300 feet up switchbacks and stairs then an easier area before lots of rock scrambling to see the stone arch. Hiking poles were helpful navigating the ascent/descent and rocks until I went on all four's for some areas of tilted, uneven rocks. We almost missed seeing the bridge; we were so intent on trying to find footholds on the rocks and climbing. I think the left side of the loop would have been easier. Even though it is only 0.9 miles with a 400 elevation gain, it took us 1.5 hours round trip at my stopping to breath and carefully climbing/descending the rocks. Capitol Gorge Trail (2.3 miles, 80 ft elevation change) was more my speed being mostly flat and walking on small stones (hiking boots were helpful) through a canyon. (If it is going to rain; beware of flash flooding). The highlight was seeing faint petroglyphs and Mormon pilgrim signatures (from the 1800's) on parts of the rock walls. If you don't like climbing up rocks, I would say skip the optional hike up the mountain to see the water "tanks" or areas in the stone where the water collects. I saw some on the HIckman Trail and never finished that part since my thighs were getting too tired. My husband had difficulty finding the actual trail among the rocks and had to backtrack. The next day, my husband left at 6:45 am to do Navaho Knobs so he could be back by 11 am (we got a late checkout). Driving around the park, you can see the beauty without effort and the number of stunning rock formations and colors was truly something to behold.

Sand Creek RV Park is everything you hope to find in an RV stay and more…read more We've stayed at many RV parks across the country, but none have felt as special or memorable as this one. From the moment we pulled in, we were warmly welcomed by Leslie, the kindest and most thoughtful hostess we've ever met. She truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel seen, supported, and at home. Her presence alone makes this park exceptional. The park itself is beautifully maintained--clean, quiet, and perfectly laid out for both comfort and community. Whether you're staying for a night or a week, you'll find peace and care in every corner of the space. The views alone are worth the stop. Traveling as a family, it meant the world to be in a place that felt safe, personal, and genuinely welcoming. Leslie was friendly and always there with a smile, helpful tips, and really made my kids feel like they were just as important as everyone else in the park. If you're reading this and considering a stay, don't hesitate. Sand Creek RV Park is a gem, and Leslie is the heart that makes it shine. We're incredibly grateful for the experience and already looking forward to returning. Thank you, Leslie, for everything!

Sunglow Campground is a good place to stay for those getting ready to head out on their Capitol…read moreReef National Park adventures. It's located just off the main road of Utah State Route 24 and roughly 20 miles from the entrance to Capitol Reef. I discovered this Sunglow Campground through the app on my phone called, Campendium. It was pretty quiet here and when I arrived in late afternoon, I was able to grab an unoccupied campsite as part of the designated first come, first served policy. Interestingly...there's only 6 single campsites here on the grounds. That's not too many. Plus, there are 2 group campsites as well. In total, there's 8 sites and according to the Sunglow Campground website...https://www.recreation.gov/... Campsite #1 and the 2 group sites can be reserved online. Otherwise, sites #2 - #6 are up for grabs to whoever claims them first. It's $16 per night for a single campsite. Or $40 per night for a group campsite. For being the end of July in the heart of summer travel season, I was surprised to get lucky and grab a site at the last minute. But...I will say...this area along Route 24 passes through the small towns of Bicknell, UT and Torrey, UT with accommodations readily available. And...there's even lodging within the boundaries of Capitol Reef. Point is...camping outdoors in this part of South-Central Utah is not imperative, or a last resort option for tourists. Basically...if you like being outside in nature, then you'll appreciate camping here. Once you find an available campsite, take a moment to fill out an information slip with payment and drop the receipt into the safety box. Then post your stub in front of your campsite. My favorite aspect to this Sunglow Campground had to be the setting. Walking around and standing among Utah's famous red rocks felt like an abbreviated introduction into the kind of beautiful scenery I was hoping to discover at Capitol Reef. It made me excited for the hikes and explorations over the coming days. Also, before heading inside my tent, I took time to gaze up at the night's sky. It was special seeing so many stars illuminated on a clear evening. It's an instance like this that puts life into perspective. A simple reminder to be grateful for where you are and how you got here. It was a cool way to end the day. Here are some extra details about Sunglow Campground... - All sites have NO electric AMP Power so unfortunately, there's no way to charge your appliances. - Cell phone reception was minimal. You just have to put down your phone and breathe in the fresh air of the great outdoors. - Campsites have fire rings and picnic tables if you'd like to cook or barbecue dinner. - There are NO dump stations and NO water or sewer hookups. - The bathrooms were flush toilets, thankfully, but no shower facility. - There's enough spacing in between campsites to feel a sense privacy as if you're far from civilization. - The town of Bicknell is just 2 miles down the road and the town of Torrey is 8 miles away in case you need supplies, you don't have to drive far. Overall, just reflecting back on my time at Sunglow Campground, I was happy to find this place at the last minute. It more than served its purpose in getting a good night's sleep before venturing off towards the marvelous natural wonder that is Capitol Reef NP.

An added bonus was having not one, but two food trucks on site, as well as a coffeehouse in the lobby. Our cabin was very comfortable too. Highly recommend!

We've been all over the country, stayed at lots of places, and experienced things we've liked and not liked at all of them. We've explored this place and this town in all 4 seasons. Escalante Cabins & RV Park is inarguably one of the best. The sites are all big enough for big rigs and they're not all jammed together. There are incredible mountain views from the sites, and as soon as the sun goes down, you can step out side and see the whole of the milky way. Meteor showers, Eclipses, I even caught a picture of a bolide - a meteor exploding when it enters the atmosphere. As photographers, there's really no better place to be. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, they're familiar with the area hikes and the visitor center across the street is open year round to provide recommendations and road conditions for wherever you might want to explore. Dogs are welcome and the sites have reasonable sized lots for them to be outside. There's a little dog park and everyone we've met has been extremely dog friendly. That's important to us. It's hard to recommend a place more highly. They're here to make sure your stay is comfortable - but if you are comfortable, they stay out of the way! This location offers an actual working laundromat, showers, firewood, and propane for travelers, you don't have to be staying at the park to use those. There's a community room that can be rented for larger events at extremely reasonably prices. The internet speeds at this park are (at times) better than I've seen from ANY campground. I've seen 300Mb down and 100Mb up, which is completely insane. Better than starlink, better than wired cable we used to use as homeowners. That fluctuates at times pretty wildly, but most campgrounds in comparison are throttled to 5mb down 0.5mb up. That alone puts this park above others for me. It's very impressive. This area is very remote and has spotty cell coverage, but there are VZW and ATT towers and both work acceptably well within the "town" area and from the park. People come here to find themselves, explore the wilderness, write books, sing songs, push their physical limits hiking and climbing, and just get away. We've stayed here in the summer and in the winter and we would stay here again without question in the future. There's so much to see and so much to do that there is no limit on how long a vacation here could be fun and fulfilling. That's all up to you.

Unfortunately, we were past the point of being helped as the authorities, other passers by and ambulance were already there. That left such an impression and we want to return, as guests, and experience the place and areas surrounding it. Need to find and replace our rig first, this may take a few years.... Hopefully we'll meet the same young man we spoke with that day in October 2025. Thank you Jordan!!! I hope you are well and that you will receive all the blessings your heart desires.

Although the address reads Torrey, it's closer to Caineville, I think. Know before you go that this…read moreis a little ways out there. Most likely, you're trying to stay near Capitol Reef, and it's about a 20 minute drive back up the highway to the visitor center. And I do mean, up--the elevation of the visitor center is about 5500 feet, and the campground is somewhere in the 4600ft neighborhood, and in the hot summer that means a few extra degrees of heat. But if you know ahead of time that you're a ways out there, it's all gravy from there. As I understand it, the campground is run by a local farmer (rancher?) and is used to supplement their income. It's been around a while, and due to the somewhat remote location never been a hugely popular spot, but enter COVID and the surge in outdoor rec and it's become a big deal and more work. It was pretty full the few nights I was there recently, but that was a holiday so maybe it's not the best measurement. What you find is that even though it's a side-hustle, it's still a very lovely family-run campground and they're there often. Pull off the highway and find a large building. If you've made reservations (via phone) beforehand, then you have instructions. If not, there's a phone number to call. There's a very large building that looks something like a gift shop (I never went in.. not sure if it was ever open) and it's attached to the bathrooms. Once you're settled, go past the gate and to your spot. They offer tent sites as well as a few RV sites with hookups for electric. The bathrooms are protected by a code (my guess is that this is to deter off-highway restroom visitors) and were mostly clean, had flush toilets, and showers. That was really nice, to be honest. Then there is just one water spigot for the camp, located just below the deck of the building. It's flat, and there are some very tall trees, so shade is very possible though it depends on what site you get. There are picnic tables and fire rings, and they've built wooden privacy walls between sites and they are kinda packed in there pretty tightly. Not a bad stay. I might prefer to be higher and closer to the park, but if you need to book late this will definitely do, and is a nice place to end and begin your day.
