Fruita Campground felt like camping in a desert dream. Its tucked between red cliffs and lush orchards, so youve got this amazing mix of rugged and peaceful. The site was spacious and green, with deer casually walking by in the evenings. No showers, but clean restrooms and drinking water made things easy. And being so close to trails and that little Gifford House pie shop? Huge bonus. Easily one of the most charming campgrounds Ive ever stayed at.

Stay here!! Its a beautiful campground with orchards and deer all around. Best part is camping in the park right next to the scenic route. Theres a little house where they sell pie, thats a must! Go before you 11am because they will sell out. Everyone is so nice and this campground is extremely family friendly. I stayed at campground 47 in loop b. Would not reccomend during rainy season since itll most likely be all muddy. Lower campgrounds are a lot nicer and grassy. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and I will definitely be back.

Excellent, well maintained campsite, with clean restrooms and adequate spacing between sites.

The tent area is not next to your car. You have to carry your stuff. It is next to the toad do it is not quite. It should be in the other side if the campground

Fantastic time. There's both a campfire and grill at most sites. The space we stayed was on the edge of a grassy field, under the shade of a massive Fremont Cottonwood tree. Our campsite was against the main road, but no cars bothered us and we were able to sleep well the whole night. The local deer came around sundown and sunup to graze in the field and were beautiful to watch. The campground is surrounded by orchards (some of which you can pick the fruit from) and was just a short walk to the Gifford House and a day-use picnic area.

Loved this campsite, it was very pleasant to be camping under beautiful trees in the small valley where the campsite sits, in Capitol Reef national park. We had a walk up tent site, it was great and still close to our car so we could easily get things we needed.

I love this place. Good evening ranger programs, too.

A surprisingly peaceful campground. The tent only sites were wonderful. Plenty of space between each "site" and site 47 had a tree with plenty of shade. I saw lots of marmots in the group site and other places in the Fruita area, so just make sure your food is secure. I'd camp here again in a heartbeat.

Clean bathrooms and quiet camp. Of course great hiking and scenery!

Great NPS campsite. The walk in sites do get a bit windy in the Spring.
The Gifford House store is a major bonus. Their pies and cinnamon rolls make for great breakfasts and lunches. Just get there early before they sell out!
