What Guests Are Saying
North Fruita Desert Campground offers fantastic sites with great access to mountain biking trails, making it an ideal spot for family trips. The campground is clean, well-marked, and features nicely wooded areas for shade, along with newly paved access roads. However, some campsites are close together, which can lead to noise, and visitors are advised to bring their own toilet paper as supplies may run out.

The last 6 miles of road in was unpaved and horrendous. The campground was scenic and basically empty but there was no host on-site and I had to reserve our site for an additional $8. You can't just pay for an unoccupied site when you arrive. I wouldn't recommend towing an RV over the terrible road.

Well, we got in the Sunday before Memorial weekend set up camp and rode PBR and Prime Cut. Met a lot of great folks from all over the world. We then proceeded to ride our butts off. Everybody was very nice on the trails no ass holes which is refreshing! The trails were in great shape even after a Monday night downpour and an early morning rain. All an all Fruita is always a great place to ride and camp.

We tried to use a RV in this space and it was very sloped.

We loved the campground, hated the incredibly rough road to get there. Absolutely ridiculous how bad that road is. Serious maintenance needs to happen.

Our site was actually very good, but we were lucky. Too many cars/trucks/vans parking along the road, very difficult to navigate around them. It was actually crazy parking and those campsites were literally right in the path of oncoming traffic. While we got lucky with an end site, we do not ever plan on camping there again.
