Thousand Lakes RV Park

Thousand Lakes RV Park in Torrey, Utah, offers 43 RV sites six miles west of Capitol Reef National Park, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 70 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Back-in, pull-through, and dry camp categories join an outdoor pool, general store, and on-site dining in a red rock valley. Forty-three sites span back-in, pull-thru, and dry camp no-hookup categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The dry camp tier gives self-contained rigs a lower rate — worth knowing in a gateway town where peak pricing runs high. Seventy feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The park sits one mile west of Torrey on Highway 24. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a pavilion, playground, basketball, horseshoes, and on-site dining filling the rest. A lake is nearby. Pets are welcome. The valley is flanked by Thousand Lake Mountain and Boulder Mountain, and the family-operated park has been orienting guests toward the Waterpocket Fold's geology for decades. Capitol Reef is the least crowded of Utah's five national parks and among the most rewarding, with Highway 12's scenic route and Grand Staircase-Escalante just south. Spring and fall are peak in southern Utah. Reserve well ahead for April through June and September through October.
