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.

They didn't tell us beforehand of the generator hour limitations so we didn't come prepared with an alternative. We have a baby who naps during the day and has to have AC in the midday. It's ridiculous to think everyone can adhere to those hours. We got a generator site for that reason. We will never come here again.

Great quiet, flat campsite with beautiful views. Unfortunately the bathroom in our loop wasn't open for the season yet.

Always love this place, I’m an old guy and have stayed here since the 60s… only change, the campground environment. Scenery remains the same, awesome place and will continue to visit as I’m able… Love exploring the west that is the best!

This place is lovely. There is no view that is not great. There are 2 good hikes that can be accessed directly from the campground and another easy walk to the visitor center.

At the risk of letting too many people in on the wonder and beauty that is Capital Reef, we love the Frita Campground and the park itself. We try every year to get a camping spot early in the season. We have a wonderful time in the park. It is a park that shouldn't be missed!
