Love the campground, well kept, great ranger talks, not as congested as Zion. Be sure to get a homemade pie from the Gifford house.

Campsites are fairly close to each other and not a lot of trees to separate them but a nice clean campground. The park hosts were wonderful. The deer frequented our campground often and it was so great to see the barn, horses and little house from campground. Geology lecture volunteer was very good. Dont miss the pies made from the local orchard fruit. Delicious.

Nice campground, clean restrooms. The scenic drive was pretty and the hike to Cassidy Arch was fun.

Central location in the park.

We had a great time riding e-bikes along the scenic road. The campground was beautiful. Very nice bathrooms.

The Fruita campground is not only beautiful, but quiet, and accessible to many hiking trails. It's a short ditance from the Gifford House which serves up delicious pies and cinnamon rolls. It's not unusual to hike and not see other hikers within the park. One of the least traveled trails, the Frying Pan, is challenging, but worth your time. The park is not only stunning but quiet. A must see!

Clean, quiet site near restrooms and potable water sink. Can't ask for much more in beautiful Capitol Reef.
@ChrisU8BEB8D52 · Camped on Apr 6, 2025 at Campsite #24
Beautiful site that is well maintained.
@JuanV1452879 · Camped on Apr 6, 2025 at Campsite #42
Bathrooms were clean, space was clear, and the area is stunning.
@SusanW3089432 · Camped on Apr 5, 2025 at Campsite #60
We spent 10 days in Loop C. We loved it! The camp volunteer chatted each day as she walked past. The access to trails was fantastic. And the campground was really clean and quiet in spite of being full every day we were there.
@SpencerT383963 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #68
Great Campground without the typical National Park feel, this one feels more like a private campground tucked in a canyon.
@JackieC1028353 · Camped on Apr 2, 2025 at Campsite #31
A great spot in Capitol Reef but no service anywhere.
@EvaS8466374 · Camped on Mar 30, 2025 at Campsite #64
We spent five wonderful nights at this fun and scenic campground. There are several short but beautiful hikes that start right from the campground, offering great views and peaceful surroundings. The weather was a real treatcrisp and clear with a fresh dusting of snow each morning, making everything feel extra magical.One of the highlights for us was how pet-friendly the campground isour furry companions had just as much fun as we did! We also really enjoyed the ranger-led activities, especially the program on the history of the local orchards and the guided history walk. Both were informative and engaging, adding a meaningful layer to our visit.

lovely campground and camp hosts
@KathyNEEA97763 · Camped on Mar 29, 2025 at Campsite #29
Excellent Campground! Beautiful spot, great location. We also appreciated the heated bathroom building and Wi-Fi (not expected!).
@WarrenBDCC4C45 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #35
Capital Reef NP is a wonderful place; epic hikes, historic orchards and buildings, beautiful off pavement drives and wash walks. Stock up on Fruit pies For sure.
@BoniP3ECFBE3F6 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #70
The most charming campground I've ever been to!
@JeffJ8578020 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #65
We enjoyed our stay in the Fruita campground. My only feedback is that the restrooms were not open in the C loop where we were staying.
@ArthurM5311098 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #52

@JenniferH28313 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #48
We came during the "off season" and it was really nice! Campsite wasn't too busy and it seemed clean and well maintained.
@MauriceS80CB69 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #32
Beautiful campground! Was quiet and clean. The history was interesting, and the pies were great!
@KarlaK90787636 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #11
Nice campground, sites are roomie, blacktop pad to park, dumpsters are a ways from some sites but bathroom buildings seem plentiful, the one near us was clean and well stocked. The best part- the campground is very close to the pie at the Gifford House!

We track all the sites so you don't have to.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
