What Guests Are Saying
Visitors to Capitol Reef Group Campground enjoyed friendly and helpful staff, a clean environment, and beautiful scenery, making their stay pleasant. The local rancher's stories added a personal touch to their experience. Although rain prevented them from hiking to Cassidy Arch, they appreciated the park's less crowded atmosphere and look forward to returning.

This is an excellent group campground. It is large, has it's own private double pavillion plus a second smaller pavillion (with picnic tables of course), it's own restrooms, a sink for washing dishes, a large parking lot, grass for playing on, many trees for shade, and paved areas for cooking. The views from the site are gorgeous. It's 3 minutes away from one of the best hikes in the park--Cohab Canyon.
In the past, campers were allowed to put up their tents anywhere in the large grassy area. July 2019 we discovered that tent pads had been created around the perimeter of the grass, and campers are no longer allowed to put their tents on the lawn. At first we were disappointed, but later we decided having the grassy field empty made for superior games and just running around for the kids. Our party had 30 people.

Awsome campsite. Very unique nestled in the fruit trees. Huge grassy lawn area. Private and secluded. Bathrooms were flush with sinks and very clean.

This is probably our favorite campsite anywhere! We love the large grassy area under the huge shade trees, clean flush toilets, how secluded and private it is, seeing deer roaming through everyday, the views are outstanding, and it’s a 10 minute walk to get fresh pies for breakfast at the Gifford house! Our favorite hike is the sulfer creek trail.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
