Our first time boondocking was perfect. There was about 10 others boondocking so I felt comfortable leaving our RV to do some hiking. Fire rings already there and you can't beat the sceneries. 1 mile to the park entrance just off of Hwy 24, 5 miles to Torrey for groceries and laundry facility.

Our first time boondocking was perfect. There was about 10 others boondocking so I felt comfortable leaving our RV to do some hiking. Fire rings already there and you can't beat the sceneries. 1 mile to the park entrance just off of Hwy 24, 5 miles to Torrey for groceries and laundry facility. Fruita campground in the park has a dump station for 5 bucks along with potable water for free. Even though it's next to Hwy 24, there's not much traffic so noise was not an issue. The entrance looks sketchy but we made it with some guidance around some sharp rocks. We have a 40 ft class A. We loved it

Yep, watch the rocky track leading in, and yes there is some road noise from the occasional vehicle passing by (not a busy road). Found it very quite and most pleasant. Porta-potty's were a bonus. There is a small general store, gas & restaurants in Torrey (5mi), but I was able to do a good reprovision at Foodtown in Loa (21mi)

Has port a johns
Not far off the main road
Lots of site options, can see your neighbors but had enough space you didn’t feel too close.
Great views!

Maybe it was all of the RVs parked in this lot using their LTE repeaters, but I only had 1x of Verizon data here. In fact, that was true for the entire Fruita area of Capitol Reef. Was pretty loud and right next to the road.

Plenty of spots available early in the week in early June. There are a few rocks at the entrance but they seem navigable by most vehicles. Beautiful views from the campground and the sites are fairly well spread out but you could also pack a lot of people here. Two Porta potty’s but no water or any other facilities

“You're not alone, but place enough!”
Reviewed 5/31/2019
Coming form the Netherlands, we explore Utah with a rental RV.
This was a nice place on our way to Capiltol Reef.
The entrance is bad.... but the campground is oke. There is privacy for who like that. You can also stay thogether if you want to have a neighbor.

Great spot close to Capitol Reef. Lots of spots to choose from and smaller rigs can just squeeze in. I do wish someone with a shovel would dig out the big boulders at the entrance.

Not much road noise. And for one night, it worked. No Verizon cell nor mifi service. But a short distance towards Torrey found a free WiFi, location at Noor Hotel. Gas station gave us password.
