Here’s the review Jenn wrote on Campground Reviews:

Good base camp for Capitol Reef

Nice park with trees between each site and views of the surrounding red cliffs. Sites were a little on the small side for our 40′ motorhome and tow vehicle; we had to park the truck next to the rig, and the door hit our slide when getting in or out. Very conveniently located to Capitol Reef National Park, which is the main draw. Torrey has some good restaurants, and the onsite bbq was just so nice and close after a long day in the park. The shop had a great selection of souvenirs and basic necessities, as well. We camped at Thousand Lakes RV Park in a Motorhome.

Our site; it was so windy that we kept our slides in for most of the time:

A nice view of red cliffs beyond the park:

This is what our coach looks like inside with the slide-outs in; a bit cramped:

He was interested in jumping up to the top of the slide-out, though didn’t actually do so:

As mentioned above, one nice thing about this park is that it has an on-site BBQ; here’s the menu:

They also have a nice gift shop and general store on site:

A small pool; we didn’t use it, since it wasn’t very warm:

Those sites along the back would have a great view, though were very small:
