What Guests Are Saying
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.

Great campsite! Look forward to staying here every time we visit CRNP. The only thing that could make it better would be to have a shower house.

The hikes and park ranger talks were the best part of the trip. But we were camped in Loop C and the bathroom was in need of repair (one of 2 stalls out of order) and the potable water station only the drinking fountain was working. The Park Service cuts of maintenance staff at this park and its cut in funding is definitely making for a poor overall experience compared to what it was years ago.

I had an excellent experience at the Fruita Campground. The hosts were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the ranger programs. I would suggest taking the trails to Hickman Bridge and Cassidy Arch. Cohab Canyon is best hiked starting at the petroglyph panel and going to the campground. There is a lot of history here. Come in late summer when there are apples to be picked in the historic orchards.

The campground is awesome. Camp host are very helpful and very nice. They have fresh daily fruit pies that are delicious at the Gifford house. Someone also said their pickled pickles are awesome. They have hikes that are doable for most hikers. Capital reef has a beautiful scenic drive that everyone will enjoy, it truly is a hidden gem.

The campground was beautiful, but there was no privacy at all.

Such an incredible oasis nestled among towering canyon walls. Evenings feel like a slice of paradise. Sites and bathrooms are clean and tidy. Great base to explore from!

Been to 15+ national park campsites this year and this was the worst experience. Tons of loud inconsiderate people.
