The local rancher's stories added a personal touch to their experience.

Our first moments at Capitol Reef was to stop for a photo at the sign when you enter the park. A local rancher stopped by and offered to take our picture. We visited for a while and he shared what it was like to be a lifelong rancher in the area. He also shared some of the history. Fruita campground was a wonderful place to stay! It was so clean and all the personnel we came in contact with from the camp host to grounds managers were absolutely lovely! Everyone was friendly and kind. We would stay there again in a moment! We went to Gifford House right when they opened to get pie after finding out all the pies were gone at 1:30 the previous day. The pies did not disappoint! We saw petroglyphs, beautiful scenery and viewpoints, and an abundance of deer. The rains kept us from hiking to Cassidy Arch but gives us a reason to return soon! Overall, this was a less crowded park and very enjoyable!

We camped at the group site in Fruita and were very pleased with the facility. It was well kept and perfect for a group of our size or larger. There was a large beautiful lawn overhung with huge shade trees. Also a covered pavilion for eating and a toilet with running water specific to the group site. Parking was plentiful and the view was incredible. Overall, a great camping experience for us who enjoy that sort of camping.

The visitor center was busy and parking was difficult. Ensure you leave sufficient time to do both.

This is probably our favorite campsite anywhere! We love the large grassy area under the huge shade trees, clean flush toilets, how secluded and private it is, seeing deer roaming through everyday, the views are outstanding, and itβs a 10 minute walk to get fresh pies for breakfast at the Gifford house! Our favorite hike is the sulfer creek trail.
