Clean bathrooms, friendly hosts, and unique amenities like fruit picking contribute to a memorable camping experience.

Nice campground with flush toilets, potable water, nearby talks by rangers, beautiful setting, fire rings, campground host. The Gifford House nearby sells tasty pies, cinnamon rolls, tchotchkes, and is a museum. All the people we encountered were very pleasant.

Nice setting, beautiful road to get there, nice visitor center.
No showers, bathroom okay, sites are close to one another. No electric sites.
Setting and trail out of campground are fabulous with fruit trees, deer and mountains. Nice 1 mi trail from the camp with an excellent view!! Perfect for the price!!

Great campground with super helpful volunteer hosts.
I was afraid everything would be closed because of the political issues…I was extremely grateful our amazing parks, visitor centers and campgrounds were at least partially functioning. Our parks make a positive difference in people’s lives and present our nation in its best light to the millions of international visitors who come to visit them annually.

This was our second trip to Capital Reef staying at Fruita Campground and it was the best camping experience we had our whole trip through southwest Utah. There were lots of deer that visited the campground and the trees had turned color in early November and just added to the beauty of it all. Our campsite was in Loop B and was very wide. Loved our stay!

We stayed at the Fruta campground a couple years ago. The volunteer Camp Host was terrible. However, this year the Camp Host, Peter and his wife, made our stay there exceptional. Highly recommend the Fruta campground as long as you have a good Camp Host. The area is beautiful and there are lots of things to do if you like hiking and exploring.

The campground was a huge improvement from our last visit over 30 years ago. Our campground host was excellent. He found us extra nights to allow our 3 nights extend to 5. Overall a great experience.

The campground is incredibly beautiful in fall season. It's surrounded by golden leaves trees. We spent one night camping in a tent there and the neighbors have been very quiet and considerate. The campsite we have has nothing to complain about, it's flat and roomy, with a fire ring and picnic table and benches. It's next to the Gillford house, so we got to try their tasty pies as breakfast when they open in the morning.
