Fruita campground is a beautiful destination. The campsites are wide and spacious with beautiful giant trees to provide shade. The camp host was very helpful and kind. The apricots were all ready for picking while we were there and delicious. The beautiful green orchards and the river running through the valley are beautiful contrast from the Red Mesa cliffs of the southern Utah scenery. We enjoyed the Hickman bridge hike and seeing the natural sandstone arch at the end. We also enjoyed the evening presentations at the amphitheater. Since Capital reef national Park is a dark sky park, the night sky is amazing. We couldn't stop looking up at night. It is a wonder to behold.
While we were there, our 4-year-old grandson was able to fill out a kid's workbook by accomplishing different activities and received his junior ranger badge from Ranger Katie. He was so proud of himself. Can't wait to go there again.

Nice, shady spots. Lots of deer roaming the area but they leave campers alone. We saw a big horned sheep up the trail along the river. Zero cell signal but otherwise great.

Nice campground. Enjoyed the store with the fresh pies and goodies. One negative is that there are no hookups and you can’t run a generator. Not good when it is hot out.

Camp hosts Bubba and his sidekick were very nice. The campground is very neat and peaceful. Deer roam freely though the sites. Recently re-paved asphalt was a bit sticky, but it was hot while we were there. Trees provide ample shade. Sites are close together but large enough for side by side parking.

Camps are far too close together luckily we got an end tent site. Kids ran out of control after sun went down. Beautiful but could use some improvement.

Our travel trailer (30 ft trailer, 20 ft truck) fit nicely into the site. There was shade, which was awesome, but that limited solar production and I had to run the generator three days to recharge batteries because of cloudy conditions and rain! This campground is amazing! The camp host Bubba was amazing. The pies and cinnamon rolls were amazing. The hiking was great!. This site was next to a field, so no one was behind you, and the irrigation for the fruit trees ran all the time, which would lull you to sleep at night, much like a running stream and drowned out your noisy neighbors during the day. The stars were also amazing! Finally there was limited generator usage in loop C, two hours in the morning and two in the evening, but someone always had to be reminded because they did not read the rules. There was the national park rangers that also made their rounds, so you felt safe and secure. The sites were currently sealed or paved, but there was no effort to level them. Every campsite with a trailer or van had to do some leveling. This site is low on the drivers side.

Nice campground, great spot for a family to camp. Definitely is a more established camp ground, camp sites are on top of each other. If you are looking to get out into the woods and away from people this is not the place for you.
