What Guests Are Saying
North Fruita Desert Campground is highly praised for its excellent proximity to mountain biking trails, clean facilities, and well-maintained sites, making it a great choice for campers, especially families. While some visitors noted the need to bring their own toilet paper and mentioned that some sites are sloped or close together, the overall camping experience is considered enjoyable and family-friendly. Many hope for improved management regarding reservations and restroom supplies, but the campground remains a favored spot for outdoor enthusiasts.

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.
