Great low key campground for a national park. Big shout out to Judy the campground host who was very dedicated to taking care of us.

The one bathroom for the loop was closed despite taking reservations for that loop, and making everyone walk to the other side which was pretty far.
Sites are nice and flat, some good shade in the trees and its pretty spread out. Unfortunately the pie place was closed too.

Great stay here! Such a nice place. Make sure to get pies (fresh every day) from the Gifford House. Not the cheapest but worth it. They have homemade ice cream too. Staying directly in the National Park is a joy, and it was great to access everything so directly.

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 feet 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!
