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.

What…paved road! Yep, the road leading up to the upper campground was mostly paved! For those who had the pleasure of driving this unpaved section of Road 18, you know how rough it was, especially when towing a trailer. Thank you to all that had anything to do with getting this project approved…you rock!

While our first day was plagued by high traffic through the campground due to road construction, that is a temporary inconvenience that will result in a much more convenient experience in the future. The views are beautiful, the campground is quiet, and we could ride our bikes right from our campsite to the trails (the most significant draw for us camping here).
We look forward to our next trip out here!

We chose this site to escape the wind. The vault toilets were clean, as was the campground. Some of the trails end in this campground, so it is very convenient.

A great spot for biking and camping if you don't mind being close to your neighbors. Each camping spot has fire pit and picnic table. Vault toilets, but make sure to bring toilet paper just in case (most ran out by Saturday morning). Interesting that the campsites are slightly pricy and there's no dumpster..

Always love Fruita! However, the Roam Festival was going on and did not abide my quite time. You would think woman would have been the first to do so! Other than that, great riding.
