We love this campground, and are grateful for the tent only sites. One suggestion we have is to create a couple of bike-only sites in that tent area...there is plenty of space and it's tough if you are cycle touring to go to a different destination if there is no room. We ended up (happily) sharing our site with a couple who were in that situation. As we cycle tour ourselves, we know it can be challenging to determine when you arrive somewhere, so that would be super helpful!

Beautiful, clean campground. Fire pits in perfect condition for cooking, parking was close(we booked a walk in site), bathrooms were clean (flush toilets), and the scenery was next level. I’ll be going back.

This was a lovely campground! Very clean and pretty well spaced apart. The bathrooms seemed to be heated and had flush toilets. Decent dump facilities for a camper too. Right next to the historic Gifford House which opens at 9 and offers pies and baked goods - yum!

Great campground. Awesome location for visiting Capitol Reef -- a phenomenal National Park. Lots of shade, so if one is relying on sunshine for solar charging, pay attention to your spot and be prepared with a generator as a fall-back. Restrooms were clean and kept that way. Camphost (Tracey) was amazing...kept a good idea on everything going on in the campground and made sure everyone was following the rules (parking, generator hours, etc.). She walked the campground several times a day and was available for questions, requests, etc.
