What a beautiful campground in the Fall! The bathrooms were very clean as well as the campsites.
The female camp host (I didn't get her name) came to to let campers know about the raccoons raiding campsites at night and to inform me to be sure to put all food away. She and I visited for a spell and she was so knowledgeable about the area and I greatly appreciated her sharing information with me.
I will definitely be returning to this gem of a National Park!

We really enjoyed our 2 nights at Fruita, loop A. It is a beautiful campsite that is walk-able to the Gifford Homestead for the museum and shop (with amazing pies!), as well as a few hiking trails. You could also walk to the ampitheater for the ranger talk, which our kids loved. There was no cell service but wifi was available through a NPS public wifi, which was a surprise. No electric hookups except for medical devices, and generator use was not allowed. The bathrooms were clean and warm.

We camped in a 31 foot Class A motorhome and had our Jeep Wrangler in site 54 in Loop C in late October through early November. I picked this site so we could maximize sun loading for our solar and also provide unobstructed view of sky for our Starlink satellite dish. We enjoy camping at Fruita Campground as we can hike right from our campsite and also conveniently drive the Scenic Drive to other hikes in our Jeep. This year weather was perfect with sunny skies and warm temperatures. Also enjoyed the bonus of enjoying Gifford House pie and viewing the deer as they wander through the campground. Speaking of deer, the campground hosts were regularly patrolling for deer droppings in the campground. Additionally, the campground and restrooms are very clean and well maintained. Thanks for a great experience!
