Capitol Reef RV Park & Glamping — Hotel in Teasdale

This is one of the most frustrating RV parks I've ever been to, and I've been to many. Pros: The sites are spacious. The bathrooms are clean. There is shampoo/conditioner/soap provided in the showers, hanging from the wall. I don't know what purpose this really serves, as nobody is going to go take a shower without bringing that with them, but I guess it's a nice gesture. Cons: The sites are incredibly un-level, some of the worst I've seen. The first day I was there, the owner's children came by, and asked, "Would you like a cupcake?" I was pleasantly surprised, and said, "yes, thank you." As soon as I touched it, they tried to con me and say, "it costs two dollars". The way that it had been presented before was as if it was a gift, and that was obviously how I was supposed to understand it. Sending children out to scam your customers is not what I consider to be a point in your favor. The bathrooms are possibly the most insulting thing about this place. Yes, they are clean, but that's about where the positives end. Each shower has a device that limits you to twelve minutes of shower time, after which it will forcibly turn the water off for five minutes. The fact that it sometimes takes a full two minutes for the water to warm up makes this more like a ten minute shower. Am I a paying customer, or a convict? It's even worse when you realize that these devices serve no real purpose, because you can just wait the five minutes and turn the shower on again, or move to another bathroom to continue your shower. And that's exactly what I did. The only purpose these things serve is to annoy your customers and treat them poorly. There's also no argument to be made for conserving water or anything of the sort, because you can use as much water as you want from the RV site hookup. On top of all that, these shower devices beep at you every sixty seconds as the timer counts down, which gets extremely annoying. But that beeping was useful for one thing, as it allowed me to measure the amount of time the lights stayed on, which is also sixty seconds. Yes, that's right, be prepared for the lights to shut off on you every minute while you're taking a shower, until you start waving your arms around in the dark enough to trigger the motion sensor again. Heaven forbid you ever forget to turn your exterior lights off for a night, because you'll wake up with a micro-managing note taped to your RV, telling you to turn them off. Seriously, there are other places in the same area where you can stay. Stay there instead.

Edit: And since the owner decided to imply that I can't be satisfied by the "trail" of reviews I've left at other RV parks, I would point out that I stay at a new RV park every single week, and most of the time it's perfectly fine. I only leave a negative review if I truly find it to be somewhere that people shouldn't bother with. The last negative review I left at an RV park was 8 months ago, and there have been three 4-5 star reviews in...

I generally boondock, but decided to splurge a little while visiting Capitol Reef NP. The first night I was there, an alarm went off outside around 11:30pm…being my first night and a solo female traveler, I didn’t want to get out of my camper…so the alarm continued. I turned on music and finally fell asleep. When I woke up(7 or 8 am), this alarm was STILL going off. I told the person at the front desk and she said yea the sump pump has been doing that. She went and shut it off. Thankfully I watched where she went to turn it off because it went off every morning and every night I was there. Because of the alarm I had a massive headache and stayed in my camper the entire first day which forced me to buy a 4th night to get to all the places I wanted to. I then got a number to text and each time the alarm went off, I texted. It took 15-30 minutes to get responses (which doesn’t seem like too long but when an alarm is sounding—it feels like an eternity). I had to turn the alarm off every time or deal with a splitting headache. In my opinion, if you have an alarm, it should notify the owners instead of having to rely on paying customers to tell you it’s going off/turn it off. For my 4th night I moved to the opposite side of the campground where there were dogs off leash. It was manageable but after wasting a couple hours packing up and moving for one night, I just wish I could have been with other campers who followed the rules, as my dog is a protective dog who will get aggressive if he feels threatened while on leash and other dogs are off leash. While the rest of the stay was great…with fabulous bathrooms…the alarm really ruined the stay. The alarm is near the bathrooms and may or may not be fixed now (they said they were working on it the first day I told them). I would recommend staying in the corner that is opposite the dog park(sites 41-43 and 3-6)—better views for sunset and more likely to not be bothered if the alarm does sound. The first 3 nights I was there, I was in site 7. The stars at night are also...

We just completed a four night stay at Capitol Reef RV Resort and Glamping in RV site 44. This campground has it all…..location, views, service and other amenities. The RV park is in Teasdale which is about 20 minutes from the Capitol Reef NP Visitor’s Center. The views surrounding the RV park are beautiful and it’s very quiet. There are plenty of restrooms/showers which are impeccably clean and nicer than most home restrooms/showers! They also have laundry facilities, a nice commons area just outside the office, corn hole, hammocks and a grassy play area for kids. The customer service was exceptional…..Becky went above and beyond to help me with a delivery problem. Another plus while we were there is that there was always a nice breeze blowing to enjoy while sitting outside. They also have glamping a-frames for rent. This RV park has been open for less than a year and I believe and will quickly become a sought after location for visitors coming to the Capitol Reef NP area. I highly recommend this RV Park….you won’t regret...
