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 campground. The campground was well shaded, facilities were clean (running toilets and sinks) and fun things to do within walking distance - Gifford House and trails. Only negative would be the people near us. Quiet hours are 10pm - 6am, but "respect other campers by keeping noise and night lighting to a minimum at all times" - they had the kids loudly running around the whole campground until 10pm and kicked on their generator around 10:30pm to run it for about 45-60 minutes in a 'no generator loop' we were in Loop 'B' they were in Loop 'A' > generator loop is 'C' (I do my best to choose a site far away from the generator loop). We did get to see many deer walking through the sites in the evening and morning though!

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.

Fruita Campground was a clean, and well maintained space. I just used one of the drive up campsites and there were ample places to put down a tent. Each of the drive up sites had a sizable tree for shade, a picnic table and a grill. The camp hosts were very helpful and friendly. The scenery around the campsite is beautiful and there is lots of sky overhead for star gazing at night. Only drawback was that some of the campers did not respect quiet hours. A very nice experience.
