It's got a western theme-lots of photos of the great outdoors and wildlife. One special feature that really set this place apart is the music played throughout the lobby and hallways-it's subtle yet really sets the mood. I absolutely adore when people use sound in placemaking. While the rooms were cozy and clean, the walls are very thin. We could hear our neighbors very easily-I'm not certain they were especially loud or if their regular volume just sounded loud to us since it was late and there was little barrier to separate out the sounds. Overall, however, I'd be happy to stay here again!

Surprising, and happily, I found it to be almost void of any people, with the exception of a few stragglers by the water and recreating about. There are beautiful trees throughout and plenty of viewing points along the road to get some lovely pictures. Watch out for cattle-I was purely delighted to come across a large herd making their way across the road.

Aside from Fish Lake (from which the forest takes its name), there are mountains and meadows that are equally beautiful. If you're interested, you can visit Pando. Pando is a quaking aspen that has multiple stems but they're all connected by a root system and all the "trees" have the same DNA. Pando is more like a iceberg where the below the surface portion is the significant bit. It is the world's largest tree (and perhaps organism) by mass. It is estimated to be at least several thousand years old, with some estimates being 16,000 years old. It feels so humbling to be visiting the forest since you feel like you're just a speck of dust compared to Pando around you. Mind blowing.

The room was a good sized room for a motel, tub is wide, soft towels, comfortable bed. Nice black out curtains. The bathroom is small but located away from the sleeping area.

Good place for a nite or two in the area. Btw- the restaurant is no longer opened because the owner couldn't find any employees. What a shame!

Fortunately we were about a mile west of Bicknell so were doing about 45 and my wife was driving. She drives with both hands on the wheel so never lost control. We found an open garage and they bent materials away from wheel enough to drive the car but left headlight gone so we couldn't drive at night and had to spend the night in Bicknell. We were able to get a room at Sunglow. This is a cute, old style motel with rooms in a row in a courtyard. Our room was sparse and diminutive but very clean and comfy. After the accident and a couple hours with garage and highway patrol, then Thrifty Rental Cars and auto insurance, we were hungry. The restaurant looked very inviting so headed there. First things you notice are the pie display cases and the unusual pies. Pinto Bean? Pickle? Oatmeal? Hmmm. Of course they had plenty of "regular" pies but those were what they were famous for. Looking over the menu, my wife selected the Chicken Cordon Bleu and a salad. Several items appealed to me and I chose my fav - Country Fried Steak and French Onion soup. My French Onion soup came quickly and was some of the best I've ever eaten. My wife's salad also came but seeing my soup, she switched her salad for the same. My wife said her Chicken Cordon Bleu was delicious. Unfortunately for me, my Country Fried Steak was tough and full of gristle. The worst I've ever eaten. Of course my wife had to try a slice of pie. She shied away from the unusual ones and chose Cherry pie with vanilla ice cream. It was really delicious.I

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.

They also discuss the flora and fauna in the area. I didn't see any animals during my visit, but that doesn't mean they're not there! I learned a lot from the easy to understand displays.
