The campground features spacious, clean sites with good amenities, and recent road paving has improved access significantly.

There was no host at 28 Road, Fruita, but everyone was respectful . I booked online and no site was available for more than 1 night, so I had to move my tent. Turned out that neither of the parties who had reserved each site for the nights I wanted showed up, so that was a wasted tent move for me. Glad I took tp as that ran out quickly and next time, I'll take a lot to leave for others. Great spot.

The campground/area is a great place to ride bikes, mountain and/or gravel. The new paved road to the campground is great. Cell reception is also good.

Paved 18 Road is a dream come true. The campsites are spacious and clean. The riding is so much fun.

The bathrooms are all out of Toilet paper, unclean and poor shape. The fire pit was overflowing with ash, appears that our $ Fee to camp is not paying for a camp host or anyone to handle the work? Maybe we just shouldn't pay a fee?

What a surprise! It’s paved now all the way up to the trailhead. Each loop is gravel. Easy to find a spot without a reservation but you do need to reserve when you get there. Bring your own toilet paper on busy weekends. All vault toilets were out. Cleaners were coming around to restock.
Great spot to head out and go for a bike ride!

Site A12 has shade, but is not very level for tents. A11 and A12 have a pull out suitable for a camper van or small trailer.
