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.

Our site was good; the bathrooms were probably the cleanest bathrooms I have experienced at a BLM campsite, and the camp host was friendly and overall awesome!

The reservation system is a joke. Online it showed every site booked for the week and there were maybe 10 sites taken. Sean was very helpful but we had to move 3x bc of flawed reservations.

restrooms were clean and ample. All I would say is that it was a little pricey for what it is. Limited space/separation from neighboring campsites with only simple facilities means it’s hardly worth 50 bucks for two nights. The surrounding trail system (18 road trails) is incredibly well set up, and I can’t say enough good things about it.

Really well cared for camp sites and clean pit toilet bathrooms. Trying to change campsites while on site was a bit tricky. I was unable to change sites because of camper size restrictions (my fault for not reading reservation instructions closely enough) but the campground host was understanding when he came by in the morning. I think Recreation.gov needs to work on the site change part of their automated system to avoid infinite loops situations with their software.

Beautiful spot full of trees that is also near a clean bathroom.

D4 is not a great site for vehicles (we have a teardrop). Fine for tent camping, but otherwise you are basically on the road..

We love camping on 18 road! G loop has great convenience at the bottom of many fun, family- friendly trails. The bathrooms are new and clean. Beautiful scenery!
