Great location. It's right by the Gifford house, which had pie in the mornings.

This was a last-minute switch as we were supposed to stay at the Grand Canyon North ram Lodge, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. This ended up being one of our favorite campgrounds ever! So quiet and peaceful with beautiful views, and deer everywhere. There was a great range program on Mountain Lions just a quick walk away that was engaging, and a star program later that was so/so. In the morning we got fruit pies and cinnamon rolls from the Gifford House and that was such a highlight. Will absolutely come back to this campground!

Rangers were amazing.
Please fund the NPS and USFS, they deserve full resources. We love our natural public land and it is worth fully investing in and preserving!!!

I love this place, perfectly located in the park. Book in advance, and keep looking for cancellations as they happen all the time. Note... there are no showers.

I really enjoy camping here. The campground is not too big and is always clean. The host has always been friendly and helpful. The restrooms are clean. There are not showers, but you can drive to the Mather Campground if you need to use the showers. You can walk to the Trading Post, Market, Watchtower and canyon rim. Park rangers hold programs most evenings at the amphitheater or Trading Post. There are also a place to wash your dishes and water is available to fill your jugs. Deer has visited my campsite every time I have camped at Desert View.

The campground was in a wonderful setting surrounded by fruit trees. Unfortunately an earlier frost killed off most of the fruit, but the area was quite lovely despite this. The campground host was very helpful and very available if needed. The location of the campground was walking distance to the amphitheater where there were talks twice a day most days. The hiking at the park was beautiful, especially the Hickman natural bridge hike. The campsites were close to each other which could be a problem if you had noisy neighbors, but we did not have that experience. We appreciated that there were both flush toilets as well as an outhouse, and that the water was potable. Overall, we were quite satisfied.

We had a great experience staying at Fruita Campground. The grand wash to Cassidy Arch hike was fantastic, and the ranger programs 3x per day provided great options for learning.
