Capitol Reef National Park hosted 604,811 recreation visits in 2008. After adjusting for visitor group size and re-entries into the park, there were 180,004 visitor group trips to the park in 2008. Based on a 2008 Visitor Services Project survey, 31% of these visitor group trips were day trips not including an overnight stay within 100 miles of the park. Thirty-eight percent of the visitor group trips involved an overnight stay in motels, lodges or cabins outside the park. Twelve percent of visitor group trips were overnight stays in campgrounds, 5% inside the park and 7% outside.
