The campsites are oddly shaped and not always optimal for an rv. Luckily we have a truck camper, but the spot to park was small and very unlevel. We made note of sites that would be more comfortable. Bathrooms clean. Host was friendly. Always love riding my bike on the rim road.

This campground is very near the visitor center. We biked to the center for the Nature and Rim Trails and felt comfortable to bike as far as the Otto Trail. The campground host is very friendly and helpful. Not all pads are level; you are closer to the campsite across the way rather than those next to you. Rangers are informative and generous with their knowledge. The scenic drive is spectacular but a wonder near sunset. Fruita has a lovely visitor center with dump station and potable water.

As always, our stay was perfect. The camp host was very helpful and friendly. The park staff was welcoming. The campsite was clean and the bathrooms were terrific...cleaned each morning.

Great site. Lovely views of the cliff a short distance from our trailer. Flushing toilets and very clean bathroom. Host is always coming around.

Camp site and restrooms were clean. So many places to hike with in the park. Dinosaur museum in Fruita was fun and informative. Many wineries in Palisades and fabulous fruit when in season.

Large site close to the restrooms. Mostly in the sun with no shade. Very short drive to the visitor center.

I was pleased the host was able to move me to a different site for my second night, further away from a large group of teenagers (educational camp). Not that the group were badly behaved, just that with any large group it is not exactly a peaceful experience.
It is a shame this campsite so regularly has these large groups, we have seen the same thing here last year.
