What campers say
Sunglow Campground is a small, scenic red‑rock canyon site about 15–20 minutes from Capitol Reef. Quiet and uncrowded, sites are well maintained with shade, picnic tables and fire pits; many visitors report potable water at sites and flushing toilets in the campground office, though facilities can be limited or seasonal and there are no showers. First‑come, first‑served; it’s budget‑friendly. Expect limited cell service and occasional flies or litter left by prior campers. Overall it’s a peaceful base for hiking, star‑gazing, and quick access to Capitol Reef, with modest amenities and tradeoffs to consider.
