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.

Our third time to Fruita Campground. We like that Loop A and B are non-generator loops. There are lots of trees for shade, which is a plus and minus. If you need solar then the sites on the outside of the loop road have more sun. There is now a bit of wifi at the entrance bulletin board at the campground. You can still go to the visitors center which has stronger wifi service. Of course you can walk to the farm house every morning for your pie and ice cream, sticky bun and/ or bread.

You want to try to get a space on the outside of the campground as the inside spaces, if you have a tent, are mostly dirt which will be mud, as it was for us, if it rains.

Absolutely great campground. It was very clean and easy to park our 40 ft camper. The pie and ice cream from the Gifford house is a must. We enjoyed the Hickman Bridge and Capital Gorge Hikes. The Grand Wash is great for a lazy afternoon stroll. Also if you get a chance to volunteer for the night sky testing, do so. We had tons of fun using the instruments and recording our findings, and what better way to give back to our National Park System.

Very nice campground with excellent campground hosts. Visitor centre at Capital Reef is well staffed with knowledgable people.
Biggest problem is Restroom facilities in Loop C needs a MAJOR overhaul! It is a dark room and day and night. The hand dryer in the women’s restroom didn’t work and they ask you to keep the main entry door to Restroom closed at all times, but it doesn’t physically close. After doing a major overhaul of the camping site pads, I was disappointed to return to the campground and see nothing had been done to the restroom facilities. It would’ve been a perfect time to renovate when those sites were being renovated!

Scenery could not be beat.
Sites were large and bathrooms were clean. Even heated.

CG Host, Gary, was really nice, helpful and good guy. CG bathrooms were clean. Campers were quiet and respectful. No generators was nice feature. Could hike right from CG or within very short drive. Place is just beautiful.

It was very frustrating and disappointing to see the 'Campground Full' sign up the entire time of our stay and yet three unoccupied spots were always unavailable. Two had orange cones blocking them and a sign that said for 'administrative use." Two of the best sites in the camp sat empty, unused, while campers were turned away. The third site was across from the host and used to park a golf cart. An unfortunate example of administrators needs being put ahead of the publics. Unfortunate indeed. Three families were unable to enjoy a camping trip to one of our most beautiful National Parks that week because the the poor management of a very valuable and limited resource.

What an interesting place. Thinking of the Mormans who planted the fruit trees!
