About Singletree
Perched high on Boulder Mountain at 8,200 feet, Singletree Campground offers adventurers a refreshing alpine retreat where mountain breezes whisper through towering pines. This well-appointed haven combines the comforts of modern camping—including flush toilets and fresh drinking water—with endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Whether you're chasing waterfalls on the trail to Singletree Falls, engaging in friendly competition at the volleyball court, or simply soaking in the tranquility of the high country, this mountain sanctuary provides the perfect basecamp for exploring nearby Capitol Reef National Park's otherworldly red rock formations.
Singletree Campground caters to a variety of camping preferences with its combination of single-family and group sites. The campground lacks cabins and other glamping-style accommodations. Although it is primarily designed for tent camping and RVs, its paved spurs make it particularly RV-friendly.
Historical SignificanceSingletree Campground stands as a modern waypoint along ancient paths, where centuries of human stories converge. Just down the mountain, Capitol Reef National Park preserves the legacy of Mormon pioneers who planted fruit orchards that still bear sweet harvests today. Ancient petroglyphs etched into canyon walls speak of Native American cultures who called this land home for millennia. The campground itself sits along Utah's legendary Scenic Byway 12, a ribbon of asphalt that winds through some of America's most spectacular and historically rich landscapes.

Pack layers and prepare for the mountains' refreshing embrace, where cool nights offer respite from the desert heat below.
ElevationRising 8,200 feet into Utah's crystal-clear skies, Singletree Campground occupies a sweet spot where thin mountain air meets thick forest canopy. This elevated perch delivers more than just stunning vistas—it creates a natural air conditioning system that transforms hot summer days into pleasant outdoor adventures. The altitude paints everything with a different brush: colors appear more vivid, stars shine brighter, and every breath feels like a gift from the mountain gods.
Natural Features and SceneryNature showcases her finest artistry at Singletree, where towering ponderosa pines mingle with quaking aspens to create a living cathedral. Spring and summer bring carpets of wildflowers that transform the forest floor into a painter's palette, while autumn sets the aspens ablaze in gold. From carefully positioned campsites, visitors can choose their view: some nestle beneath protective pine boughs offering dappled shade and forest intimacy, while others open to sweeping panoramas where red rock deserts meet azure skies, creating a visual symphony that captures the essence of the Colorado Plateau.
Geological RegionBoulder Mountain serves as nature's observation deck, lifting Singletree Campground 8,200 feet above the surrounding landscape in a dramatic display of geological grandeur. This alpine island rises from the Colorado Plateau, creating a unique ecosystem where cool mountain forests gaze down upon the sun-baked stone sculptures of Capitol Reef National Park. In the distance, the Henry Mountains punctuate the horizon, their ancient peaks telling stories of volcanic upheaval and erosion. Here, in this elevated forest sanctuary, campers witness the grand theater of Utah's geological diversity—where verdant mountaintops meet desert canyons in an endless dance of stone, sky, and forest.
