The location is excellent. Bathroom left a lot to be desired. I recommend putting in electric hook ups.

The generator guidelines were not very clear online. However, we were in a no generator lot, and the campground was lovely...as soon as the sun went down.

Lovely campground with plenty of space between campsites. Great access to potable water and restrooms. Within walking distance of Gifford house and some of the orchards.

I've been to 46 National Parks, and the experience at the Fruita Campground was by far the most unique. I would definitely stay there again and recommend to my friends and family to stay there as well!

The campground was quiet and the restrooms were clean. There was a moderately strenuous beautiful hike through the canyon that started at the campground and also a nice walk along the river.

Very nice tenting campground. It was the perfect place for our family group with young children. There are places to walk to or hike to right from the campground and many ways to enjoy nature. It was quiet and family friendly.

On my solo National Parks Road Trip this summer, this was my favorite stop! The contrast of the green orchards with the red rock and blue sky is breathtaking. I would highly recommend attending one of the ranger programs at night to get a chance to see stars, and if you are lucky, even the Milky Way! I would also recommend getting a famous pie from the Gifford Homestead.
