We love Capitol Reef and there is quite a bit of free camping nearby. Thanks for sharing!

[@thewanderingshores]

Thanks for watching! we loved our time there. A gem of a National Park for sure.

[@melissaknoblock2660]

Thank you, your video helped, we are beginners and planning a trip there soon.

[@thewanderingshores]

Melissa, I'm really glad to hear that it was helpful for you. If you ever have any questions, feel free to let us know. We've been full-time and boondock about 90% of the time for 2 years now.

[@rodericksmith4243]

Great review, good information!

[@thewanderingshores]

Thanks Mike, we loved our time there.

[@KRich408]

Thanks for showing the access to this great area. I've probably passed a lot of free camping between Sturgis and Flagstaff, because I'm towing a 34' Fifth wheel with a large custom made cargo rack on the back that doesn't fold up. The few sites I've found were only because I paid to camp somewhere close and check them out before possibly getting jammed up needing a winch out. We were just up at canyon Lands National park I went down to the Thelma and Louise jump off. Nobody should ever try to pull a trailer down there! Even though I did find a Truck Driver somehow got lost and took the switchbacks getting permanently stuck and having to disconnect the trailer.

[@thewanderingshores]

Ken, so glad this review as helpful for you. You are absolutely correct about Canyonlands. We made a day trip over to the park from when we were camped out near Moab. The Thelma and Louise location is a servious off road adventure. Safe Travels and hope you make it out here to Capitol Reef.- Kyle

[@wortheverymile371]

Thanks for the visual review. One thing your missing on your review is if our smart car can make it up dirt road...lol. Good job on video.

[@thewanderingshores]

Good point! I'll be sure to get the smart car info in to the next video... Keep an eye out of a review of camping near Petrified Forest in a couple weeks.

[@travelwiththeoneyoulove]

We are hoping to visit Capitol Reef next year! We have a 21ft camper and love campground and boondocking! Thanks for sharing!😀

[@thewanderingshores]

You will love it here, this is a great spot for a rig that size for sure. You're going to have a lot of options both in the area we're at and on the other side because I don't imagine the one wash crossing would be much of a problem with a rig that size.

[@travelwiththeoneyoulove]

@@thewanderingshores so good to know! We've heard lots of good things about Moab and the surrounding towns and National Parks!

[@thewanderingshores]

@@travelwiththeoneyoulove Yes, Capital Reef is the last one of the Big 5 that we needed to make it to. If you get a chance, add cedar breaks National monument to your list as well. When you're in the area. It's as nice as Bryce with almost no crowd

Hi 🙋‍♀️🇨🇦😍‼️ new subscriber from Vancouver Island BC🇨🇦 the cool thing about being a new subscriber is the Binge Watching😄👍🏼🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸‼️

[@thewanderingshores]

Thanks for subbing! and of course binge watching... Visited Vancouver Island when I was about 15. My dad grew up in Port Angeles, WA and if you ever get over there check out the community pool. It is named in honor of my grandfather. Used to be called The William Shore Memorial Pool but now known as the Shore Aquatic Center.

[@Greg_Jones]

That was going to be my next area after a few summers around Duck Creek Village to Brian Head. I ended up skipping it to the Cortez area. After seeing this I think I might very well check it out next spring. Thanks for the excellent tour!

[@footstepsonearth1715]

It's not a Baker's Dozen, it's a Boondocker's Dozen!!! Great video as always. Back at the homestead headed out next weekend for Lawson's Landing at the coast again. Take Care, Stay Safe!!!

[@thewanderingshores]

Right on! Can't wait to hear about your lastest trips. Miss you guys.

[@erinhale7550]

Thanks for another great video. I always love your drive through. It makes it so easy to look for land marks or issues we might run into. Safe travels!

[@thewanderingshores]

Glad it was helpful again. We enjoy making these videos and providing the information to others. We always appreciate when others have done it for us.

[@erinhale7550]

Hi guys, Well, we made it through the wash with the rig ..... of course we haven't made it back out yet 😂 What a beautiful area!!!! Any recommendations for a dump station? Your video was spot on as usual. We went right and easily found a spot, even on Memorial Day weekend. Road to the left is pretty crowded. Still room between them, but about 30 I can see from the hill we're near. Back here is very spaced out, good cell signal & surprise surprise, 35 OTA channels! Thanks for all the great tips on the area. Safe travels ❤

[@thewanderingshores]

So glad it was helpful for you, we ended up taking our rig into the park and dumped at fruita campground. I think there is a five or $10 fee. If I remember correctly. You can also get water there too. I don't know of any other spots for dumping. Glad you guys were able to get through that wash. I wasn't sure but obviously if you did with a bigger vehicle than us people should be good.

[@melodyassaro]

Thanks again for doing all the leg work. This definitely will work for us.

[@thewanderingshores]

You will love these spots, so close to the park. Glad it was helpful.

[@melodyassaro]

@@thewanderingshores we can always count on you to help with our planning

[@thewanderingshores]

@@melodyassaro We feel the same about your guys reviews. They saved us and got us started back in 2020 like no other.

[@BootsandJeansRiders]

Seen you two on a LivingOurDreamNow video. We love free camping however we ride motorcycle and sometimes getting into the free locations can be a challenge. So we are mainly looking at the road conditions when watching camp reviews. Great job new sub

[@thewanderingshores]

Awesome to have you over to our channel. We really enjoy doing campsite reviews so I'll be sure that we are always mentioning the road conditions. If you haven't seen it already we have a campsite review playlist of many different areas around the country. PS we love Lou and Melody and so honored they asked us to work with them.

[@BootsandJeansRiders]

@@thewanderingshores LOL Watching that playlist now.

[@tbacer11]

Hello, thank for this awesome detailed video, can you tell if I turn right after the cattle guard, will I be able to turn around at the end of the road if there are not any sites left?

[@thewanderingshores]

Yes you can! there is plenty of space back that way to turn around. The biggest concern is dragging if you are a bigger rig, however our friends did make it back there with a GD Momentum (about 38ft) but they had a little tail drag on the way out.

[@joeyhurst8252]

Thanks for the video! We will be renting a van and camping in that area. What is the accessibility of firewood? Can you find much laying around that is legal to gather? Or do locals sell it?

[@thewanderingshores]

Thanks Joey for taking the time to comment and watch. You're going to love that area. Regarding the firewood, I'm not really sure as we have a pellet fire pit. But I do recall seeing people along the main road towards the park and into town selling firewood at their homes. So I don't think you're going to have a problem getting any. Have a blast at Capital reef and we are looking forward to going back again and exploring some more next summer. - Kyle
