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 Lower campground was great, as we were one of a handful of people there. Had there been a full campground people literally would’ve been camped on top of each other. Camping on a weeknight in October was the right way to go! The host was super friendly, and the grounds were well maintained.

Love camping at 18 road and the entire campground, facilities, etc. are always in great shape, but this spot is worthless. There should not be a charge and it should be left to first come first serve. While the description is accurate there is no way this spot should be charged for.

Very nice campground. Sean does a great job keeping the restrooms clean! We loved riding great trails right from our campsite.

We love it at this campsite. Bathrooms very clean. Strange that there are so many empty sites when it all looks booked up on the website. Maybe leaving a few first come first serve would allow people to be more spontaneous. Overall great experience.

Make sure you are able to fit into the campsite with your trailer before booking. I had to change my campsite after arrival (which was easy to do on the app). Some are great for trailers but half are not. However, no one was there and it was beautiful! I will go again.
