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.

We love 18 road! Bathrooms were clean, trails in great shape and great use of the space.

Great location, but very few sites are even close to level. The two nights I was there (5/13-14) the camp host was off duty and all pit toilets had zero toilet paper. I did see a BLM employee pass through but there was no effort to check or restock.

It was discouraging to see so many vacant campsites and then see only that over 90% were reserved. There needs to be a way to put reservations back into the system when people don’t show up. If you do not occupy your campsite the first night of a multi day stay it should be canceled. People are playing the game to reserve in advance and it is hurting the travelers who are actually at the campsite ready to camp in an open spot.

great location, trail access right out if camp . didn't feel like i was camping on top of my neighbor .bathroom was conveniently located. only complaint would be that there is nowhere to dispose of garbage either in camp or in town.
