Fruita Campground is a beautiful, family-friendly site nestled among fruit orchards and stunning red cliffs, offering a peaceful atmosphere and excellent hiking opportunities. Clean bathrooms, friendly hosts, and unique amenities like fruit picking contribute to a memorable camping experience. While some sites require improvements for better tent setups and there are occasional issues with flies, overall, visitors appreciate the campground's charm and its proximity to Capitol Reef National Park.

The campsite was very clean. Even though we were in a spot for tenting, it did not have very good or maintained ground to place a tent for whatever reason. That being said always fine. Our kids had a great time. Amenities were clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. I definitely would recommend.

Loved the campground and the park itself. Nice large shade tree. Only downside is several walk in sites behind. Those campers will walk though your site to go to bathrooms and get to and from their car even though they clearly have and entrance to their sites. Not a reason to not reserve this spot just a heads up.,

Might have been the time of year but the flies were really bad, but otherwise a good site.

I arrived on a very hot afternoon, and found that the site I had reserved was in full sun, while the one next to it had full shade. So I wanted to change my reservation. In the "C" loop the kiosk said it had internet access (to get on recreation.gov to do this), but it wasn't working, said to go to A+B loop kiosk. That didn't have wifi internet access either. However, at the campground host's nearby site there was access--but they were off duty til 3pm. Long story short, I soon was able to get on and change my reservation to a not-yet-reserved site with afternoon shade. The host, btw, was super helpful. If anyone cares, my original site was C69, C68 in the shade was already reserved, so I ended up on the inside of the loop, right opposite, but I don't remember the number.

It’s cool to be so close to the orchids and the site was convenient to the bathrooms. If you want WiFi get closer to the bathrooms and if you want t grass and not dirt to pitch a tent on get a site on the outside of the loop.
