Thousand Lakes RV Park

How does a campground defy typical expectations of solitude and accessibility while offering conveniences often reserved for a full resort? Thousand Lakes RV Park, located just outside Torrey, Utah, provides a striking combination of scenic surroundings, versatile accommodations, and remarkable proximity to Capitol Reef National Park, only six miles away. Set against a backdrop of dramatic red rock formations and sagebrush-strewn plateaus, the park's charm lies in its balance of natural beauty and thoughtful amenities.

This 22-acre campground is ideal for travelers seeking varied camping experiences, from pull-thru RV sites with full hookups to shaded tent spots and well-equipped cabins, including deluxe and super deluxe options with kitchens and private bathrooms. Every site promises spectacular views, complete with picnic tables, fire rings, and access to clean, well-maintained facilities. Highlights include a seasonal swimming pool, a playground, a basketball court, and a pavilion for group gatherings. Unique to Thousand Lakes, visitors can enjoy char-grilled BBQ dinners, fresh morning muffins, and even Jeep rentals for rugged exploration of nearby terrain.

Situated at 6,800 feet in elevation, the campground serves as a base for both relaxation and adventure. Within a 30-minute drive, visitors can explore Capitol Reef's diverse hiking trails, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and Goblin Valley. Despite its convenience, the area remains blissfully uncrowded, offering a sense of seclusion often hard to find in southern Utah’s popular destinations.
