Excellent campground. From location, to views, to night sky, camp facilities, to friendly deer everywhere you look. Cant recommend enough.

We had a great experience staying at Fruita Campground. The grand wash to Cassidy Arch hike was fantastic, and the ranger programs 3x per day provided great options for learning.

The campground was in a wonderful setting surrounded by fruit trees. Unfortunately an earlier frost killed off most of the fruit, but the area was quite lovely despite this. The campground host was very helpful and very available if needed. The location of the campground was walking distance to the amphitheater where there were talks twice a day most days. The hiking at the park was beautiful, especially the Hickman natural bridge hike. The campsites were close to each other which could be a problem if you had noisy neighbors, but we did not have that experience. We appreciated that there were both flush toilets as well as an outhouse, and that the water was potable. Overall, we were quite satisfied.

I really enjoy camping here. The campground is not too big and is always clean. The host has always been friendly and helpful. The restrooms are clean. There are not showers, but you can drive to the Mather Campground if you need to use the showers. You can walk to the Trading Post, Market, Watchtower and canyon rim. Park rangers hold programs most evenings at the amphitheater or Trading Post. There are also a place to wash your dishes and water is available to fill your jugs. Deer has visited my campsite every time I have camped at Desert View.

I love this place, perfectly located in the park. Book in advance, and keep looking for cancellations as they happen all the time. Note... there are no showers.

Excellent centralized location in the park. Pretty much guaranteed to see deer, we saw a ton. Most of the sites looked plenty roomy for large tents and shaded. Nice to be able to walk to the creek and to grab cinnamon rolls and pies in the morning!

Rangers were amazing. Please fund the NPS and USFS, they deserve full resources. We love our natural public land and it is worth fully investing in and preserving!!!

This was a last-minute switch as we were supposed to stay at the Grand Canyon North ram Lodge, so I wasnt sure what to expect. This ended up being one of our favorite campgrounds ever! So quiet and peaceful with beautiful views, and deer everywhere. There was a great range program on Mountain Lions just a quick walk away that was engaging, and a star program later that was so/so. In the morning we got fruit pies and cinnamon rolls from the Gifford House and that was such a highlight. Will absolutely come back to this campground!

Beautiful
@RachelT9962710 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #52
The camp host was friendly and responsive. The campsite was gorgeous and had big beautiful trees. There were friendly deer at the camp and it was just lovely overall.
@ShannonP288F4C · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #68
Great campsite. We loved the deer and fawns that grazed so comfortably near all the campers. The kids thought the evening ranger program was enjoyable.
@RachelA5531631 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #17
Great location. It's right by the Gifford house, which had pie in the mornings.
@GregN21E5D68C9 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #44
The isolated camp site area was not treed and sun was too hot, 95 at 6:30 pm. We left and did not camp.
@AmyT9468092 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #30
Excellent campground. Clean bathrooms, great ranger program, and along the river.
@JackT7668668 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #10
Beautiful campground. Mostly shaded. Nice stream nearby.
@JimMirya63496E · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #63
Very nice campground. Clean and orderly. 2nd visit there in 3 yrs. Love the wildlife and pies.
@JohnB25C9C5AB2 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #15
Excellent campground in a beautiful setting. Campground is clean and has potable water, a dump station. The site we had was level and had a picnic table and fire pit. The only downside was all the barking dogs from other campers. Nothing destroys a relaxing evening at your campsite like half a dozen yappy canines.
@ColinK1952992 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #15
Camp host was a rude. A guy we met on a hike offered us a place to stay at his campsite, the host said it was against the rules to have us stay. The man Joseph was a single guest and we only had 2. When we asked him why it was a problem he told us he was going to call the authorities and kick us all out of the campground. I ended up buying a slot next to Joseph to avoid any problems. We had a great night but I wouldnt go back though, just because of the host.

Very shady, beautiful views. I loved the historic sites within the park. The orchards are magical. A real American treasure. Get a pie! You wont regret it.
@JamesK1667053 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #40
We had a good stay except for one issue. A tour bus on two nights of our stay was allowed to reserve a few sites near our campsite. The large group of people and the bus engine running in a non generator part of the campground ruined the wilderness experience. This should not be allowed to happen. There is a group site for them.
@JulieB4444318 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #35
Fruita was great! Our camp host John was super helpful too. Right from the campsite you can get to cool trails with great mix of rocks and river and greenery. Some of everything! And all the deer that come through the campground!
@KarenC7594177 · Camped on Jul 5, 2025 at Campsite #65
Amazing campground and campsite!! We stayed in site 65 and it was beautiful and private. Close to the amphitheater and bathroom but not so close that there was any noise or foot traffic. We were visited by mule deer and walked over to see the horses. We arrived at Gifford House at 8:40am and were first in line for still-warm pies and cinnamon rolls!!
@TerezaK1BE9CA4 · Camped on Jul 4, 2025 at Campsite #21
Amazing camp, in the middle of the nature.

Great campsite. Next to a creek, very quiet, and spacious.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
