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.

We stayed 3 days at site B35, then 3 days at site C71. B35 was shady and pleasant. C71 was way too sunny and hot, and the C-loop restrooms needed upgrades to be as good as the A- and B-loop restrooms. The WiFi near the host spot was a great help, but was not always available, so we went to the visitor center (1.5 mi walk from Loop C). We attended one ranger talk about buffalo and it was pleasant and informative. Overall we really enjoyed our camping experience, and of course we had pie at the Gifford House (adjacent to the campground). Super delicious! And the nice park across from the Gifford House was beautiful and scenic. We did several hikes in the area, some of which need to be done in the morning due to heat. All the hikes were beautiful, very much worth the exertion. There are easy ones, moderate ones and full day strenuous ones to choose from. Very family friendly place. Lots of kids. Sites are paved and reasonably (but not completely) level.

My favourite campground of all the NPs I have visited so far. I loved the small size and relaxed organisation. Very friendly and neighbourly. And close to great trail heads.

Really pretty campground at great location. Embedded in the green surroundings of Fruita, the campground is small and cute. The campground host was superb. There is free WiFi near the Kiosk at Loop A.

Fruita Campsite was one of the highlights of our holiday and we wish we could have stayed longer. It is situated in a stunning location, the surrounding scenery is breathtaking. The site itself is beautiful and well maintained. The two managers on site are extremely friendly and approachable and contributed towards a wonderful 2 day stay. The added bonus is being right next door to Gifford House where you can buy the most delicious pies, we will definitely recommend this campsite to all our family and friends.

Beautiful, historic, well-maintained campground. Quaint and unlike any of the 15+ NP campgrounds we’ve stayed at. Volunteer host was very helpful. Be sure to put this one on your list. Easy walking to the Visitor Center, the country storessnd museum are steps away.

The camp grounds host made me feel welcomed and safe. The facilities were very clean and well maintained. The campground was in walking distance to visitor center and hiking. Excellent place!

Campground was beautiful. Our campground host (Sandi) was absolutely wonderful. 2 items to be addressed: 1) drainage in much of camping area, 2) Canpground does not have designated hiker/biker sites. There is space to easily manage a few per night.

I've camped at Fruita CG several times. Well managed, well maintained and magnificent views. Loop C is my
favorite because there is more space between sites.
