It is a well-kept campground. We had a good experience. I need to mention, though, that the campsite we stayed at is a shared space, similar to a ranch. We parked up front and set up camp inside. However, there are a lot of spaces where parking is different at each site.

Excellent centralized location in the park. Pretty much guaranteed to see deer, we saw a ton. Most of the sites looked plenty roomy for large tents and shaded. Nice to be able to walk to the creek and to grab cinnamon rolls and pies in the morning!

Overall very pleasant, especially the evening presentation at the ampitheater.One remark though: we had a tent site but it was quite swampy to access it as the lawn was watered during the day apparently.

Beatiful campsite at walk-in tentsites. Nice view at the mountains.

Fruita Campground was a clean, and well maintained space. I just used one of the drive up campsites and there were ample places to put down a tent. Each of the drive up sites had a sizable tree for shade, a picnic table and a grill. The camp hosts were very helpful and friendly. The scenery around the campsite is beautiful and there is lots of sky overhead for star gazing at night. Only drawback was that some of the campers did not respect quiet hours. A very nice experience.

The evening ranger programs were very interesting and informative. It made my stay at the park more enjoyable to learn more about its history. All the hikes in the park are great and each is unique in its own way--hike as much as you can!

Great campsite in an amazing park. Busy but not too noisy. Loved the nearby hikes (esp cohab Canyon and Hickman Bridge) and the fresh pie from the nearby Giford store. Really enjoyed the nightly ranger programme.
Pity there are no showers (not even in a nearby town)

Very quiet campground and great bathrooms

The tent only area is odd. It requires parking and lugging one's gear to the end of a field where there are numbered fire pits and picnic tables, the nearest toilet is a pit toilet, while the bathrooms in the solo sites have both heat and running water.
We found Capitol Reef quaint and stunningly beautiful...though the over abundance of white settler narratives and absence of native narratives is disturbing.

Great campground; excellent location for most of our activities, namely hiking and taking in the sights! Facilities (restrooms and water) were open/operating and in good condition, clean and well supplies. Campground host was fabulous!
