Beautiful, tree covered campground. Great for families with middle. Clean bathrooms. Right next to Gifford house so you can get the yummy pies.

Great campground, lots of shade. Campsites are a little close. Water has lots of minerals, so recommend filtering it before using it. Very friendly rangers and staff. Loved the sweets at Gifford house. We came in early June and it rained off and on for most of the day. It was a perfect lazy day to spend in the orchards, visitor center and Gifford house. Will come back to see more of the park.

Campsites are small but acceptable. I very much appreciate the limited hours for generator use. Please adopt this policy in more campgrounds.

Die Toiletten waren ok. Keine Duschen. Der Stellplatz lag wunderbar unter altem Baumbestand.

I stayed there with my wife and 4yo son, with our campervan. This campground is very well located (on the scenic byway + next to the farm) , clean, green, plenty of trees.Great ranger program at the amphiteater.Dump station available too. Definitely a great place to stay while visiting Capitol Reef !

The campground and my campsite were great. The Park itself is awesome, as is the Fruita area and the pies sold at the Gifford House in the mornings. If youre a hiker, Cohab Canyon trail trailhead is right at the campground and provides access to many other spectacular trails and destinations with varied degrees of difficulty. Its a short drive or walk to many other trailheads. No matter how you get there, dont miss Cassidy Arch, Hickman Bridge, or Navajo Knobs if youre up for it! Chimney Rock, Goosenecks, Rim Overlook, Fremont Gorge Overlook, and Petroglyphs are all well worth the effort. I had three full days and did all of these, and enjoyed the dead quiet evenings at the campground to recover. So glad I went!

This was our second time camping in Fruita Campground at Capitol Reef N.P. and although the sites dont offer much privacy, they are close to some trails, the Gifford House (awesome pies), and the bathrooms are clean and convenient. We loved hiking the Cohab Canyon Trail with the trailhead right across the street from the campground and would stay there again in the future. We just wished there were more campsites available so it isnt a mad dash to reserve one online.

Beautiful campground. Only complaint is that theres no showers.
@VictorOA8BA3DD · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #33
The fact that we cant use generators made our stay unbearable with height temps in the low nineties, went to bed at 9:30 and couldnt sleep, both nights were the same, wife said she will refuse to come back ever
@KristineNC78A8 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #24
Bathrooms were very clean and water and trash bins were easily available.
@DonaldW3403304 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #21
I love this place. I think the staff does a great job at keeping it clean. The parking spots are a good size for my trailer and my truck, as well as another vehicle, if needed. I love the big trees which provide shade, and the river walk is so pleasant to explore.

Fruita Campground at Capitol Reef is our favorite campground. The views are stunning and the ambiance is excellent due to the trees, river and distance from the main road. Generators are no longer permitted in the A and B Loops, which is a real bonus!
@LanceR3971729 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #60
Perfect setting!
@AurelienB3EAE5 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #67
We have had an outstanding experience at Fruita campground. It is perfectly situated to enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery, and some hikes are directly accessible from it (notably Cohab canyon). Our tent site was on the smaller size (but still big enough to pitch a Wawona 6 tent without difficulty). It is flat, with an open view on a field and the mountains. Deer were grazing nearby. A bit of noise came from the amphitheater during evening shows.We only heard about that the day that we left, but the shop nearby, at walking distance, sells fresh bread and pastries.

Loved the campground. Very clean. Lots of shade available.
@BethB9210736 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #14
Beautiful, comfortable campground but no hookups and no generator use allowed in A and B loop. We were having trouble with our battery in our camper but the volunteer camp host wouldnt let us charge it with our truck or use the electrical box next to us (only for medical equipment) C loop allows generators at certain times but she told us we had to leave the park to charge. At least we had charged it enough to get it up and back on the truck. Volunteer camp hosts are usually more helpful and friendly. So be prepared and fully powered and full of water!
@valg69215F6320 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #66
Camp ground was clean and well taken care of.
@ShaunPD0F6782E · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #26
Love Fruita! Such a gift to be able to camp in the park. Great ranger programs. Now if only fellow campers would learn some basic manners and not save 10 seconds by walking RIGHT THROUGH our campsite to get to the bathroom, it'd be perfect!
@JoyKD0C31CF657 · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #18
Sites were well spaced. It was a nice quiet campground with lots of shade. This kids loved playing in the Fremont River every evening. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Would stay here again!

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.
