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.

Great location, campsites in great condition, incredible trail access for our several families with toddlers doing trade-off rides throughout the day. Only got a lower score due to no TP in the bathrooms/ no camp host

Great campground! SO many trails, something for everyone, all skill levels. Even though there were a lot of people riding, it was easy to disburse. Only complaint was that some of the outhouses were out of T.P.

This site is very small compared to a lot of the nearby sites. Ideal spot for a solo traveler or a couple. Not the best spot for pitching a tent but it is possible. I had to set up my tent next to the firepit so I was unable to build a fire or use charcoal. It is a nice spot tucked down in the trees.

No one to enforce noise policy. People blasting music and yelling. Bathrooms were a mess and no toilet paper.
