Capitol Reef National Park is one of a kind and is probably the stop where we learned the most, because we initially knew the least. Definitely worth the stop and scenery as varied as any park we’ve seen. The Visitor Center is an essential stop...More

If traveling to Utah's Major Five, Capitol Reef may not knock your socks off like Bryce or Arches but it will educate you beyond measure. The film at the visitors center is full of both the geological and the human history of the area. There...More

Capitol Reef is amazing! Beautiful red rocks and mountains, hiking trails, orchards filled with delicious fruit, and great views, everywhere! The campground looked really nice, but we didn't stay there. It's definitely worth spending a few days at this incredible National Park.

Awestruck! We hiked Hickman Bridge Trail and Grand Wash. Both beautiful and worth the hike. Bought a pie at the Gifford House. Just beautiful!

All I can add is that in late September in the middle of the week the entire campground (one of the most beautiful in the area) was full. I would definitely make reservations.
