This campground is absolutely beautiful. Site 11 is right across the street from the bathroom, which was very clean. Camp hosts were kind and helpful. We woke up to the sun on the top of the rock face and the deer grazing nearby. Will hopefully be returning soon!

I recently spent three nights in the Fruita Campground at Capital Reef National Park. Being that it was autumn, the leaves were a blaze of golden hues. I recommend spending some time exploring Fruita, the visitor center, the Griffin House, the barn, the Fremont River, and watching the wildlife (mule deer, birds). Hiking trails from the campground include Fremont River Trail, Cohab Canyon Trail, and a trail to the visitors center (approximately 2.8 miles round-trip). I found this park to be a relaxing place for camping, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors. Oh, and be sure to purchase a fruit pie from the Griffin House. Be there early, or you might miss out (they sell out quickly).

Fabulous location for a ton of hikes in Capitol Reef. From easy to challenging ones.

We love this campground, and are grateful for the tent only sites. One suggestion we have is to create a couple of bike-only sites in that tent area...there is plenty of space and it's tough if you are cycle touring to go to a different destination if there is no room. We ended up (happily) sharing our site with a couple who were in that situation. As we cycle tour ourselves, we know it can be challenging to determine when you arrive somewhere, so that would be super helpful!

@KateD3196349 · Camped on Oct 11, 2025 at Campsite #56
Beautiful, clean campground. Fire pits in perfect condition for cooking, parking was close(we booked a walk in site), bathrooms were clean (flush toilets), and the scenery was next level. Ill be going back.

The fall season is just beautiful. Hosts were wonderful
@KevinG8036592 · Camped on Oct 7, 2025 at Campsite #50
This was a lovely campground! Very clean and pretty well spaced apart. The bathrooms seemed to be heated and had flush toilets. Decent dump facilities for a camper too. Right next to the historic Gifford House which opens at 9 and offers pies and baked goods - yum!

Beautiful campground enjoyed the deer the views and river
@DebraR7956372 · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #66
Great campground. Awesome location for visiting Capitol Reef -- a phenomenal National Park. Lots of shade, so if one is relying on sunshine for solar charging, pay attention to your spot and be prepared with a generator as a fall-back. Restrooms were clean and kept that way. Camphost (Tracey) was amazing...kept a good idea on everything going on in the campground and made sure everyone was following the rules (parking, generator hours, etc.). She walked the campground several times a day and was available for questions, requests, etc.

Loved our stay at Capitol Reef.

Beautiful!!!
@HollyJ7FD12C45 · Camped on Oct 2, 2025 at Campsite #27
We were lucky to get a spot here, it books up quickly. We wanted to stay in the park so that we could hike from the campsite. We took the Cowan Canyon hike at Sunset and it was fabulous! The site itself was nice. It was easy to level on and it had a bit of shade. The sites are also nicely spaced out so you arent too close to your neighbors. The only issue was that no generators were allowed at all in loops A and B. This made it hard for us to make dinner. Overall, we enjoyed our time at the campground and especially at this beautiful national park.

Wonderful, quiet campground. We hiked Cohab Canyon in the morning and took in the beautiful views. Fruita campground is truly an oasis in the middle of the desert.
@AlisonV0189333 · Camped on Sep 29, 2025 at Campsite #51
Lovely campground - beautiful views of red rock cliffs and in a lovely orchard
@GaryD2260868 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #66
Very nice treed campground with views of red cliffs all around. Short walk to the Cohab Canyon trailhead across the street and at the start of the scenic drive. Busy - hard to get a reservation so plan ahead or look for a cancellation.
@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #10
Large sites with room to park 2 vehicles. Very clean bathrooms, very quiet at night (loop A). Nice scenery to! Adjacent to the river with a hiking trail.

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.

@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!!!
