Thousand Lakes RV Park

Stopped here for one night on our way through. What a surprise! Large sites with full hookups, grassy areas, and a sweeping view. They have an amazing gift shop with great finds. I would stay here again.

Great place with full RV or Trailer hookups. Had family stay in their deluxe cabin. Go to a real hotel instead of a cabin if you are gonna stay multiple days. A+ for trailers, cabin, at that price was not great compared to other stuff in town and normal hotel amenities that you don't get with this park and a cabin. But overall park was best with 5 min drive to Capitol Reef park. Fantastic and helpful staff. Clean.

Best place to stay while visiting Capitol Reef. Awesome views, too! And the employees are suuuper helpful and know a lot about the best trails nearby, and the cabins looked really nice and clean as well.

As a small town lover, I tend to love small towns.

Torrey, Utah is about as wee as a lass may come, and I assure you the folk are of the smiling varietal.

The park itself is more or less "RV parky ", our fire could have easily lit our neighbor's rig alight, though it was his own choice of where to park it after I already had the blaze going. We actually had two spots here, and the second one, in the row furthest from town, is a bit more spectacular in that you have sweeping views of some big red rock cliffs.

For all you kiddos reading, yes, I can confirm that they have an awesome metal airplane you can sit in and balance in a way that will feel like flying! But on the ground.

At night we'd walk to a restaurant called, I believe, Diablo Something-or-other which served up interesting fair like Rattlesnake Cakes and incredibly tasty margaritas. Beware though, the night stalkers, for the road is darker than pitch when viewed through sun glasses in a black hole, and traffic is firm in the godspeed department!

This is our second stay at this park. It is a typical RV park with sites fairly close together but they are level and well maintained. We arrived before the trees' leaves were out and we were able to use our rooftop satellite dish. But during our last few days we did get some interference with the wind as the leaves were coming out. The park is very quiet. The office personel are very friendly and helpful. The park has its own Grill, hair salon, and a wonderful gift/clothing shop with many grocery items. They also rent Jeeps and ATV's and have propane. The WiFi worked well most of the time, getting a little slow at night. Data service is Extended Network (we are a Verizon customer) 1X with two bars. We will stay here again when we visit the area.

Our stay here did not start out well and has not improved. They started out by putting us in Site 37. There was a low branch and I thought that it would be too close to the rig so I sent my wife up to the desk to get reassigned. They refused saying that they put large rigs in there all the time. So we tried it and guess what, our full wall slide would hit the branch if we had fully deployed. So I sent her back and told her to get our money back if they did not reassign us. With plenty of attitude, they begrudgingly reassigned us. Bad customer service is unusual in the campground business but definitely turned me off on the campground.

So, the campground is tight, I mean really tight. The guy next door parked his truck about 2 feet from the side of my rig and I can't blame him because there isn't room to park it lengthwise on the side of the road. The sites are about 20-25' wide.

The power is good, wifi is ok except during the prime evening hours. The park is clean. One of the other reviewers said they had 4g Verizon service but all we were able to get is 3 bars of Extended X1 and that is with a Wilson booster.

We stayed here one night and had a great site. We were on the end toward the entrance but it didn't seem too busy. We had a large lawn on one side of us that Jack the dog liked. We would stay here again.
We have a 30ft Travel trailer with one slide.

We enjoyed our stay here and it was a great location for visiting Capitol Reef. We work during the day so most of our time hiking in the park was in the evening so it was nice to be close enough to hop on over there for a hike or two. Verizon data did not work here, but my Verizon talk/text did work. AT&T data worked well so we used that for work. We were fortunate that they gave us one of the nice and large back-in sites; the interior pull-through sites looked a lot smaller. The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because they charge extra for children. Hotels don't charge extra for our kids to stay in the room with us, so I don't understand why some RV parks charge extra for kids to stay in our RV. Anyway, if a place charges a "kid-tax" I can't rate them as excellent because that does not seem very family-friendly to me.

We had been boondocking near Bryce and wanted some comforts. We tried Sand Creek RV but they were full. So they called Thousand Lakes for us, and we got a spot. Laundry, a nice restaurant, and good shower. They have a small pool and a basketball court, too. 10 miles to Capitol Reef.

We stayed here for a week while spending time working remotely and touring Capitol Reef National Park. The location was great for the national park access and the views of the sunsets were amazing. Our spot in site 17 gave us unobstructed views of the west that were just gorgeous. Although the highway parallels the RV park, road noise was minimal.

The staff was friendly and the park was clean. Maintenance crews were working constantly to maintain the park. There was a nice little BBQ place that provided nightly dinners (expensive, but good and convenient). The gift shop has essentials. There is a general store in nearby Torrey with a better selection of food items. For real groceries, the closest store is in Loa, about 15 minutes away, so plan accordingly. Propane exchange on site, but if you want propane filled, you'll have to go to the Wonderland RV park down the street.

Internet connectivity was overall poor. If we didn't have T-Mobile, there is no way we'd have been able to work there for the week. WiFi was spotty and pretty slow, especially upload speeds if that matters to you like it does to us. Verizon and AT&T were both useless, and I imagine Sprint is the same.

Even though connectivity was a challenge, we would not hesitate to stay here again. We had a wonderful time.
