GORGEOUS campground in the heart of Capitol Reef NP. Very quiet, lovely place to stargaze after dark. Bathrooms were relatively clean for a campground, no showers available.
Our only complaint was that we had some RV campers who ran generators past 11pm the night we stayed unfortunately!

The Fruita campground is one of our favorites. This year, unfortunately, the trees were pollinating , so my wife's allergies flared dramatically, putting a bit of a damper on our visit. Some of the trees shed sticky little seeds that stick to everything - car, trailer, shoes, etc. Don't camp under one of those trees! Still it's a great campground in a beautiful setting.

Wow, i really wanna give this place 5 stars Clean, bathrooms were fine, amazing location in the park close to everything, just an absolutely beautiful area with the river right there, sweet little walks everything you could want in a campground!!! Except for the fact there is zero privacy, its just like camping in a open area with 400 people you never wanted to meet. I mean theres nothing to be done for it, and honestly the area is wonderful, just know that you are 100% going to be 15 ft away from people on all sides To me its a 5 star campground in a 5 star location and 5 star amenities with 2 star for the actual campsite if that makes sense But if i was coming back to CRNP, yes, i would stay here again just for the location in the park, no doubt, so thank you as always USNP service, had a great time!!

Fantastic camping. Love that there is wifi in the camp now but a range extender in the C loop would really help. Great camp host, love the peach pie 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Fruita Campground was an oasis in the high desert. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the campground. Such a relaxing place with the trees and the creek near by. Got to say, definitely go for the pies ... they are great!

Beautiful campground with clean restrooms. Historic structures. Thank you for making loops A and B generator free. Also, the pies are awesome.
