If temperatures fall to below 50°F, opt for a warmer sleeping bag or consider investing in a sleeping bag liner.

Practical information for camping at Capitol Reef National Park
First and foremost, check out our suggestions of things to do and places to camp in or near Capitol Reef National Park. Aside from that, here are a few more important things to know when staying overnight at Capitol Reef:
There's only one campground inside of the Capitol Reef National Park boundaries that you can reach with any vehicle. In peak season (May-September) it fills up quick! Reserve your spot as soon as you know your travel dates.
You need a high-clearance vehicle to reach the only other two campgrounds in Capitol Reef National Park. They are very small but they are also so remote that it's unlikely they will fill up.
There is no water and no cell service in the remote areas of the park (which is most of the park). You can fill up a water jug at the visitor center. Make sure you have at least 4 liters of water per person per day.
The weather always surprises. During most of the year, excluding summer, prepare for a much colder night than you think. Being a true desert environment, day and nighttime temperatures vary dramatically. Of course, June, July, and August could get unbearably hot - you might want to consider setting up camp in higher elevations outside of the park.
The nearest international airport to Capitol Reef National Park is 3.5 hours away in Salt Lake City. But the most convenient international airport to Capitol Reef National Park is Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. Though it takes 5.5 hours to drive directly to the park entrance, most people make a multi-day road trip out of it and stop at Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks before reaching Capitol Reef.
