It was cozy, clean and spacious. It's one of the best NP campgrounds.

Staying in Fruita campground was so convenient for access to nearby hiking and views within Capitol Reef National Park. The campground was quiet and surrounded by apple orchards, free for eating within the orchards. There is a self pay stand with a scale for any apples taken out of the orchard. They even provided ladders and those little cup like fruit baskets on poles. The mule deer in the area were big fans of browsing and relaxing in the shade of the orchards so we had multiple opportunities to observe them. The bathrooms were clean (and warm on a cool rainy night) and our site was level. The pie house (Gifford House?) was absolutely amazing. So many delicious offerings. They are very efficient so if there's a line out the door, go anyway! The park staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The scenic drive to the back of the park is 100% worth it. We wanted to see the pioneer register but with rain in the forecast that last part of the drive was closed for safety. It was gorgeous driving nonetheless.

Beautiful campsite within an orchard and surrounded by mountains with a stream/river running by. Lots of deers wandering around. Appreciated the availability of a dish cleaning station and the availability of water to drink. Having the Gifford House next to the campground was a real plus.

The campground needs a remodel. It was overall ok. The bathrooms were rough. The walk in tent sites are so close together in terms of parking that I’m not sure how it works if all 4 cars show up.
