Love the campground, well kept, great ranger talks, not as congested as Zion. Be sure to get a homemade pie from the Gifford house.

We came during the "off season" and it was really nice! Campsite wasn't too busy and it seemed clean and well maintained.

The campground was nice with large spaces and clean bathrooms. Highly recommend doing the Cohab Canyon Trail out of the campground up to the North Overlook. This was a really cool hike with a great view. We participated in the ranger program the evening we stayed there and our kids really enjoyed it. Overall a great stay.

We love this campground, Such an oasis. The cinnamon rolls and pies are an added bonus!

Great location for park access and a few hikes. Close to Visitor Center. Seasonal Fruit trees for consumption or u-pick $ on site. Hard to get a reservation. Several large groups in non-group sites made it noisy and feel overcrowded. Very dusty as almost no grass areas. Concrete and dusty. Some tree spots. Great camp hosts work hard. Small store open limited hours on site with handcrafted items and limited food. Not a grocery store. Very far from a grocery store. Bathrooms very busy. Overall great stay as we were prepared with our own food and a camper.

This campground is a treasure! Amazing views from the campsites to the surrounding cliffs, nice facilities, and breathtaking views of the night sky. Get up early to get a pie at the Gifford House. There was a line waiting for them to open at 9:00, and it was a rush. You could probably wait until 10:00 and still get pie without a crowd, but don't wait too long. There were deer all over the property due to the numerous orchards. There was an RV grey water dump as well as a fill hose, but there was a line at checkout.

The campground was beautiful. Set amongst orchards and historic buildings. We picked peaches and apples from the heritage fruit trees planted by Mormon settlers. We would highly recommend a stay in Fruita Campground.

Beautiful trail head at the campground and drinking water stations were a mega plus.

Lovely area and a really nice campground. Extra special hosts were always cheerful and helpful. Lots of wonderful red canyon drives a hikes with over the top views. Hiking trail head parking areas are small for the trail popularity so you have to get there really early to get a spot.
There is a huge deer herd and they OWN the area so are bold and unafraid. They wander through the campground and will sometimes follow you! We also had daily visits by a turkey in our site. The ranger programs are fabulous too.
The area is filled with fruit tree orchards and We were there when the apples were ready and could pick them. We hope to go back in the spring to see the orchards in bloom.
Capitol Reef is a wonderful place to visit.

The campsite was great with "visitors (deer)" at night. The dumpster is convenient and clean. Spacing between each other is good too.
