About Capitol Reef Group Campground

Located in south-central Utah in the heart of red rock country, Capitol Reef National Park is a hidden treasure filled with cliffs, canyons, domes and bridges in the Waterpocket Fold, a geologic monocline (a wrinkle on the earth) extending almost 100 miles (160 km). The Fruita Campground area is located one mile south of the visitor center and is often described as an oasis within the desert. The Group Campsite is near Loop C of the Fruita Campground. It is a semi-shaded, grassy campsite and is located in the Fruita Historic District of the park.

What Guests Are Saying

Visitors to Capitol Reef Group Campground enjoyed friendly and helpful staff, a clean environment, and beautiful scenery, making their stay pleasant. The local rancher's stories added a personal touch to their experience. Although rain prevented them from hiking to Cassidy Arch, they appreciated the park's less crowded atmosphere and look forward to returning.

Awsome campsite. Very unique nestled in the fruit trees. Huge grassy lawn area. Private and secluded. Bathrooms were flush with sinks and very clean.

This is an excellent group campground. It is large, has it's own private double pavillion plus a second smaller pavillion (with picnic tables of course), it's own restrooms, a sink for washing dishes, a large parking lot, grass for playing on, many trees for shade, and paved areas for cooking. The views from the site are gorgeous. It's 3 minutes away from one of the best hikes in the park--Cohab Canyon.

In the past, campers were allowed to put up their tents anywhere in the large grassy area. July 2019 we discovered that tent pads had been created around the perimeter of the grass, and campers are no longer allowed to put their tents on the lawn. At first we were disappointed, but later we decided having the grassy field empty made for superior games and just running around for the kids. Our party had 30 people.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
