What Guests Are Saying
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.

Beautiful area, great RV site with location to historic farm, clean bathrooms, clean and convenient dump station with fresh water fill. Deer came to visit and eat the mesquite pods around the campsite! Only drawback was pad for RV site newly paved but not level (construction crew didn’t use a level as 5” off from front to back of site).

Surrounded by dramatic scenery, the beautiful park like campground is situated perfectly to enjoy the hiking trails and all that Capitol Reef NP offers. Fall weather was just right .

Nice campground with nice shade during the hot part of the day for most sites. Pads were new, plenty of space between sites and decent bathrooms.

Wonderful trees and grass giving needed shade and cool grounds. Good sized sites. Clean bathrooms. Cano hosts were very cordial. Nice hikes right out of the campgrounds.

Beautiful campground with deers grazing in the orchards and a tree-lined stream (which makes for nice white noise at night). Campsites themselves feel a bit exposed when in a tent (we were in 069), especially surrounded by RVs - but once the sun is down, there's a cozy, peaceful vibe all around. Really pretty place to wander around, beautiful stars, nice energy. Definitely recommend!

Similar to camping on your own front lawn with a bunch of other people. Campground was very full, no privacy between sites. Campground hosts were friendly and helpful, bathroom was clean.
