Tent-only sites all in very large open area with several big trees for shade. Restrooms and pit toilet not far away. WiFi only in small location near sites and around visitor center entrance.

Clean, quiet and convenient to trail head.

Great campsite! We had a little confusion with having two sites reserved -- turns out the sites have to be listed under separate names even if reserved on the same account -- but the camp host was super helpful in getting that worked out. The space was great, and it was awesome to have running water!

Bathrooms are super clean and the campsites put you right in the heart of the park!

Awesome camphost, really went the extra mile to help us out when our tent wasn’t coping in the winds!

Beautiful grounds, clean and well marked

What an unexpected gem!
We loved the facilities and were totally taken by the history and backstory of the orchard community. We’ve sung your praises ever since we’ve left Capitol Reef and Fruita.

We always have a lovely time here. The campsite host was extremely friendly and helpful. Campground was beautiful and clean and quiet. Will definitely be back again.

Beautiful campground. Tent camping areas are decently spread apart and have good tables, fire pits, and grill. Bathrooms were good and slightly warm which was helpful in the cold. Beautiful setting between the rocks near the Gifford House

Great campground with clean bathrooms and right next to an apple orchard with roaming deer.

What can I say, beautiful. Showers would be nice but let’s face it half of the campers already have showers. Beautiful views in every direction. Hope to be back soon.

Beautiful campground (green orchard in the midst of red rock cliffs). Lots of nearby hikes. And homemade cinnamon rolls and fruit pies!

We loved staying at Fruita Campground. It was beautiful! We loved the fact that we could hike from the campground. It was clean and in a central location. We would definitely stay there again.

Campground was clean and the host was very attentive and helpful. Main restroom was clean and comfortable. Good experience.
