GROUP CAMPSITE
Only written or faxed requests to reserve the campsite are
accepted. Telephone reservations are not accepted. Your requests
for a reservation should be sent to:
Group Campsite Reservations
Capitol Reef National Park
HC 70, Box 15
Torrey, UT 84775
The fax number is 435-425-3026. Requests will be accepted beginning
the first Monday of February. The campsite is very popular,
and opening day requests are highly encouraged. All faxes received
the same day have equal preference.
Reservation requests must include:
- Group leader’s name, address, and daytime phone number,
- Number of people in the party,
- Number of vehicles,
- Dates requested,
- Second and third choice dates.
Maximum group size is 40 people, and groups are limited to 10
vehicles. The campsite is open from April 1st through October
16th, except for Tuesdays and Wednesdays when it will be closed
for groundskeeping purposes. Maximum length of stay is 5 days
annually. The camping fee is $3 per person per night, with a $50
minimum per night for each group. There is no fee for children
5 or younger, but they are counted as a member of the group.
Processing of reservations begins about 10 days after the
opening date. Requests are sorted by postmark or fax date, and
opening day requests will be randomly selected and processed.
If the dates requested are not available, second and third choice
dates listed will automatically be considered. Please do not send duplicate
requests for the same group. When all opening day requests are
completed, the process continues with subsequent dates.
In late February a confirmation letter will be mailed to those
receiving reservations; payment of $50 for each night reserved
must then be received by March 20th to hold the reservation.
The balance of payment for your reservation must be received
14 days prior to your reservation date. Refunds are available
if a group cancels 14 days prior to their reserved date. You
will also be notified if all dates are taken and you did not
receive a reservation.
All non-reserved dates, or dates that open due to cancellations,
are available by written or faxed request, or to visitors at
the Visitor Center on a first-come, first- served basis beginning
March 1st. No waiting lists are maintained.
