Gorgeous park. Very peaceful. No services or pies! the first week of March. No cell service. No crowds. Glorious.

Beautiful setting, and a very quiet campground. We stayed in Loop B, site 38, good site. The bathrooms in Loop C were closed so the Loop B bathroom was crowded at times with people waiting but it was a short walk to Loop A. Once or twice in our stay, the wifi would all of the sudden come to life--I think the signal was stronger near the campground hosts, but I'm not sure.

The area was beautiful. Stars were amazing the two nights we were there. Short drive to the park gate and you're on the beautiful scenic drive.

We loved the Fruita Campground! It was quiet, and of course the setting is beautiful. Hiking to Cassidy Arch and the Grand Wash Narrows in lightly falling snow was just magical. After reading all the reviews, we were really looking forward to cinnamon rolls at the bakery... alas, we were there before it opened for the season. That was our only disappointment.

Honestly could not believe that the loud heavy machinery (tree trimming) that started around 8 a.m. and went on all day until dusk, right next to campsites in Loop B orchard side (site 31 and others), was not mentioned on the website. Website states that generators are not allowed in Loop A or B, and therefore I booked a campsite in Loop B to avoid loud machine noises. It was completely misleading. I would have booked a different campsite or campground rather than having my only camping trip ruined by heavy machinery.

The bathrooms were clean and warm. The campsite was tidy. We had a good stay

The reservation process was easy and with no hassle. its cool that we can pay with credit cards now. But there were many empty spaces and they looked taken in the reservation map though. The restrooms were clean too. overall we were happy to stay there after a long time not being at capitol reef.

Spent 1 night in February. It was very cold but the restrooms were nicely heated.Not much else to say other than the campground is pretty much empty and quiet at this time of year.

The representative at the visitor center was very helpful and accommodating in getting my campsite ready for the night. I enjoyed the staff in the gift shop. They two were helpful. I made a small purchase there and moved on to visit capital national Park, which was incredible.
Excellent

We spent a night at Fruita and woke up to the vehicle telling us it was 22 degrees. I have never been so appreciative of a heated bathroom, and I didn't even know I appreciated them until a few nights previous. Fruita is a nice, quiet stop in the winter, and is easy access for the top of the park. I'd happily choose this campground again!

Only 4 other campers in the campground. Was quite. Was nice to have heated bathrooms with flush toilets.
Good
@CraigD9937423 · Camped on Dec 1, 2025 at Campsite #25
Beautiful spot with 6 or 7 other sites occupied. The 12 or 14 of us enjoyed the solitude, views and heated bathrooms.
@HeatherC820487 · Camped on Nov 26, 2025 at Campsite #69
It's very convenient to be inside the National Park. We visited in late November, and it was a cold night, (so bring extra bedding if you are tent camping and firewood - none is sold inside the park that we saw). The bathrooms in the loop I reserved (Loop C) closed for the season after I booked my reservation, so consider this if you are visiting in the off-season. Very quiet campground and park, we had the place nearly to ourselves!

I had such a lovely and peaceful one-night stay here, and it was so convenient for exploring the park. My campsite was in the C loop, and even with the restroom in that loop closed, the other restrooms were just a short walk awayand heated! I loved having a fire ring so I could make smores. The campground is perfectly situated to watch the sunset over the Pendleton Barn, or to enjoy a slow morning with coffee as the surrounding rocks light up with alpenglow. The horses even came to say hello- Coach T. was quite the flirt! The campground hosts were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, sharing suggestions on hikes, road conditions, BLM spots to camp in Hanksville, and even other recommendations in Utah and Colorado. Highly recommend!

This was a perfect location for our hiking during the day. It was quiet and peaceful. We were there in the middle of November and we loved the quiet. The bathroom was clean. We appreciated the folks at the Visitor Center.

Nice campground near the river with spacious sites. The warm bathrooms with running water were lovely in the winter! The hike across the rode was wonderful and the historic home next door sells pies and cinnamon rolls in the mornings.

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.
