We camped at the group site in Fruita and were very pleased with the facility. It was well kept and perfect for a group of our size or larger. There was a large beautiful lawn overhung with huge shade trees. Also a covered pavilion for eating and a toilet with running water specific to the group site. Parking was plentiful and the view was incredible. Overall, a great camping experience for us who enjoy that sort of camping.

The visitor center was busy and parking was difficult. Ensure you leave sufficient time to do both.

This is probably our favorite campsite anywhere! We love the large grassy area under the huge shade trees, clean flush toilets, how secluded and private it is, seeing deer roaming through everyday, the views are outstanding, and it’s a 10 minute walk to get fresh pies for breakfast at the Gifford house! Our favorite hike is the sulfer creek trail.

Awsome campsite. Very unique nestled in the fruit trees. Huge grassy lawn area. Private and secluded. Bathrooms were flush with sinks and very clean.

This is an excellent group campground. It is large, has it's own private double pavillion plus a second smaller pavillion (with picnic tables of course), it's own restrooms, a sink for washing dishes, a large parking lot, grass for playing on, many trees for shade, and paved areas for cooking. The views from the site are gorgeous. It's 3 minutes away from one of the best hikes in the park--Cohab Canyon.

In the past, campers were allowed to put up their tents anywhere in the large grassy area. July 2019 we discovered that tent pads had been created around the perimeter of the grass, and campers are no longer allowed to put their tents on the lawn. At first we were disappointed, but later we decided having the grassy field empty made for superior games and just running around for the kids. Our party had 30 people.
