Judy was an angel, helping our group find each other and even stay an extra night!

We love Fruita campground and have been here many times. Site B50 would be best suited for a trailer or camper. We had a tent and the grassy dirt area was too sloped to put it up so we used the cement driveway next to our car which turned out to be just fine but we would have preferred to be a little further from the road. This site is on the other side of the B loop and close to many of the other sites so it can feel a bit crowded and it also does not have a fire ring for campfires. But the good news is that it has plenty of shade!

Super crowded. Not every car camping spot has flat place for tent or fire pit. Mine had neither.

One of the nicest campgrounds Ive been in lots of shade, great bathrooms, great camp host who was extremely helpful (thanks Dan). Scenery is amazing, rode our bikes, hiked a little and had a wonderful time.

We were at a site in loop B. There was no fire ring. The table was on very uneven ground. The paved site was fine. Other sites would have been much nicer as we could not even put chairs out it was so uneven. Loved the Pie from the store. Would go back but would pick a different loop . I would hesitate to go if the scenic drive is closed.

Lovely shady green trees in a magnificent landscape of hues of red and orange cliffs.

Hot showers was the only thing I missed.

It’s a really great campsite. The surroundings are amazing. We only stayed one night but could easily have stayed longer. We also enjoyed the park. There are some nice trails especially to Hickmans Natural Bridge. Also our kids loved the old school.

Great campground. Do not recommend site B50 for a trailer unless it is a very small one. Very hard to get in and out of. Also - the tent campers walk thru the site to access the bathrooms. Since the site borders a hill, there is no space to seat or have a campfire.

This campground was one of our favorites. It has a park like feel to it with most sites in the shade, fortunately because it was really hot. We were only there for one night but wish we could’ve stayed longer. We hiked the Grand Wash trail and my husband took his bike out of the back of the truck at the top of the scenic drive and had a beautiful ride downhill for several miles while I drove behind him. The cliffs and canyons are beautiful and it wasn’t crowded with people like Zion. Also, the campground has a creek running through it and a nice spot for kids to swim.

Nice clean and quiet. Bathrooms clean. Location is beautiful

It was nice and quiet, and the night starry sky was beautiful.
@OliviaJ264 · Camped on Mar 20, 2021 at Campsite #50
Bathrooms were clean, campground was kept clean. Had some crummy neighbors at one point left half chewed strawberries in our site. And the kids were climbing in an area not sure if they were supposed to be.
Wish the store stocked more cinnamon rolls!!
Not sure why our site was one of the few that didn't have a fire pit, just a BBQ thing.

If you happen to need your generator to regenerate your batteries you are out of luck with only being able to run for 2 hours at a time twice a day. Nothing was said about the outer lights being on after dark until the camp personnel were quite rude about ours on. The good thing is the bathrooms were very nice and clean and the deer wandering were wonderful! We left after 3 days because the batteries would never charge fully with the time we had to run generators. It was cold when we were there so the furnace was needed at night and used the battery. I will not stay in a national park again there are to many regulations.

It wasn’t camping but more like RV spots and we were all on top of each other as the sites were too close together. And there are two sites with no fire pits, and we reserved that one and that was so disappointing, not to have a campfire. Additionally there were so many flies it was unbearable. The bathrooms were very clean and there was deer walking within the sites, which was nice.
