Sand Creek RV Park, Torrey UT

Sand Creek RV Park is a fantastic campground six miles from the West entrance of Capitol Reef National Park.  The owner, Harry is friendly and accommodating.  He takes you to your site on his bicycle.  He offered us the use of a collection of bikes behind the office and the kids really enjoyed riding around the park.  I was sorry we only stayed for two days, but the Verizon signal was terrible and Husband would not have been able to work.  We stayed over the weekend just long enough to spend one day at Capitol Reef.

It's a small park with an amazing view.

There are hammocks in trees, community fire pits, a group shelter, wildflowers, flowers, a vegetable garden, the view, and the bikes for loan.  The park has showers and restrooms that are clean and well maintained.  Harry encouraged us to walk anywhere on the property and explore and enjoy our stay.  There was a very friendly atmosphere.

Pros:

• Price was good at $44/night for full hook-ups
• Pull-through sites
• Amenities
• Views
• Vibe

The downsides include the width of the sites and the lack of cell coverage (Verizon).  We have two deep slides and when we extended them one was practically over the firepit of our neighbors.  If they would have lit a fire they would have burned our trailer down.  I think they realized that and either graciously or begrudgingly did not build a fire.  Here is a view of the slide side of our trailer nearly over the neighbor's firepit.

I didn't feel we were taking up too much room on the other side either...the sites were just narrow.

One last picture to get the full picture from the other side...

We enjoyed our time there and would recommend this park for anyone visiting Capitol Reef.
