  Utah State Parks like Goblins kick butt
by richiecdisc
 
 

While many National Parks lack shower facilities, all of Utah's state parks provide them. There is often an additional fee to the entrance fee for this privilege but it is nominal compared to other facilities. We found one place in Torrey, UT (outside Capitol Reef National Park) charging $5 per person. We waited it out for five days till we got to Goblin State Park, such is the life of a six-month budget trip. lol The best way to not only save some money but also to take full advantage of the beauty of these state parks is to camp there. You get to see the parks in their best early morning/late evening light and showers and entrance fees are included in the very reasonable camping rates. Oh, and the spots are about as nice as you will find anywhere too.

Utah State Parks are not included in the American the Beautiful Pass but very much worth the extra cost if you have the time to get a little off the beaten path.
