Only 4 other campers in the campground. Was quite. Was nice to have heated bathrooms with flush toilets.

Beautiful spot with 6 or 7 other sites occupied. The 12 or 14 of us enjoyed the solitude, views and heated bathrooms.

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.
@JenniferW73279 · Camped on Nov 23, 2025 at Campsite #28
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.

Bathrooms were clean. Host was helpful and shared info about raccoons. Stars were gorgeous.

It was after the Gov shutdown, the park rangers and people in charge did their best!
@StephenM951052 · Camped on Nov 18, 2025 at Campsite #33
The pie shop is unfortunately conveniently located right next to the campground. They are excellent and available even in November. The Cohab trail that takes off right from the parking lot is an excellent but somewhat strenuous climb, but well worth the effort. The Capitol Gorge road is a great evening drive right from the CG.

Great stay at a beautiful location. Level spots for tents, vans and trailers. Bathrooms are clean and the host helpfully. Would recommend!
@SarahS3283965 · Camped on Nov 14, 2025 at Campsite #47
Corner walk in site - some road noise. No service.
@AndrewM2888517 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #11
Park volunteer host was amazing with helpful information and friendly conversation. Campground access to hiking trails and the bakery was an added plus.Bathrooms and dishwashing station convenient and clean.Beautiful vistas and hiking trails for all levels. My favorite park in all of Utah, and the must visit location for the fall season.

We stayed at site 37 and this was easily the BEST campground Ive been too. Staff was friendly and available, sites were spacious, the campground has WiFi and heated bathrooms, highly recommend the Gifford House absolutely wonderful
@maggiep94E2F24 · Camped on Nov 12, 2025 at Campsite #25
Loads of wildlife! We saw lots of deer and a friendly skunk. The campground is also next to the river and a couple of horses. The rushing water provides a nice background noise. Plus, you have easy access to the Gifford house. I woke up, pet some horses, bought some firewood, and ate some pies for breakfast. Bathrooms were clean and water from fountain tasted clean and clear. The sites were a good size where you didn't feel too close to anyone.

beatiful campground and area , often booked long in advance
@PaulF2981841 · Camped on Nov 10, 2025 at Campsite #57
Loved the campground in the park. The fruit pies and cinnamon rolls were the best!
@CarenTF3422BBD · Camped on Nov 8, 2025 at Campsite #56
This campground is crammed with tents and RVs. It is nice to stay in the park, but this is not the place for you if you want a bit of distance from your neighbors. Try to get a campsite closer to the river rather than backing up to the road. The facilities were clean and well maintained.

CRNP needs another campground
@MichaelF110976 · Camped on Nov 6, 2025 at Campsite #53
Beautiful and well kept campground, very helpful hosts. Stayed four nights and loved it.
@Patricia99C8B1 · Camped on Nov 6, 2025 at Campsite #24
Nice setting, beautiful road to get there, nice visitor center. No showers, bathroom okay, sites are close to one another. No electric sites.Setting and trail out of campground are fabulous with fruit trees, deer and mountains. Nice 1 mile trail from the camp with an excellent view!! Perfect for the price!!
@GeraldW5854649 · Camped on Nov 5, 2025 at Campsite #17
Beautiful place friendly host.
@LisaW1374326 · Camped on Nov 5, 2025 at Campsite #49
Great campground with super helpful volunteer hosts. I was afraid everything would be closed because of the political issuesI was extremely grateful our amazing parks, visitor centers and campgrounds were at least partially functioning. Our parks make a positive difference in peoples lives and present our nation in its best light to the millions of international visitors who come to visit them annually.

This was our second trip to Capital Reef staying at Fruita Campground and it was the best camping experience we had our whole trip through southwest Utah. There were lots of deer that visited the campground and the trees had turned color in early November and just added to the beauty of it all. Our campsite was in Loop B and was very wide. Loved our stay!

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.
