This was a perfect location for our hiking during the day. It was quiet and peaceful. We were there in the middle of November and we loved the quiet. The bathroom was clean. We appreciated the folks at the Visitor Center.

Nice campground with flush toilets, potable water, nearby talks by rangers, beautiful setting, fire rings, campground host. The Gifford House nearby sells tasty pies, cinnamon rolls, tchotchkes, and is a museum. All the people we encountered were very pleasant.

I have been staying at the this campground with my family since before I can remember. I have so many great memories here. It is still beautiful, well kept, clean, and quiet. Everyone is super respectful and its always a wonderful experience

Very nice stay, quiet and peaceful spot. Wildlife all around. We recommend.

On my solo National Parks Road Trip this summer, this was my favorite stop! The contrast of the green orchards with the red rock and blue sky is breathtaking. I would highly recommend attending one of the ranger programs at night to get a chance to see stars, and if you are lucky, even the Milky Way! I would also recommend getting a famous pie from the Gifford Homestead.

Fruita is a lovely campground with plenty of trees and a fair amount of space between campsites. The bathrooms were clean and there was a sink for gray water. It would be great if they provided showers. There is so much to do there in terms of hiking and driving to see the geology of the area. There are also excellent ranger talks. I really enjoyed the talk on the geology of the area by Cliff. There was also a good talk about birds and a kid oriented jeopardy talk that was great for kids. This is a wonderful park.
By the way, we had a flat tire so went into Torrey to get it fixed. We stopped at the visitor center and the very friendly gentleman there said we needed to go to Bricknell - another 7 miles west. It took about 2 hrs for them to get to it and it cost $40. Since this had taken most of the morning we went to lunch at Curry Pizza. We had a great, if expensive, Indian meal while everyone else who came in ordered pizza. Lots of customers so their pizza must be good.

been there before and liked it . so went again and were not disappointed. Still a great campground. Family visiting had a great time-great grandson had a ball climbing rocks and going on trails with his Mom. And don't forget the pies.

This is the best place to camp in the area. Where can yo get Warm Cinnamon Rolls at 9 am every morning? Watch the deer in the orchards? Listen to to the park naturalists everyday talk about the bats, rocks and geology? Go on great hikes in the area?You can't beat this park.

Visit was great except for hot weather. Could have used more generator time to run AC. Know nothing could be done about weather. Great place to visit will definitely go back.

Really lovely campground in the orchard with hiking trails close. Although no showers, Torrey isn't too far away for one and pick up some supplies.
@AaronW5705274 · Camped on Sep 26, 2019 at Campsite #61
Camped right on the orchard and had an amazing view of grazing deer the entire time. My favorite campsite ever! Our three year old loved it.

Beautiful surrounding! Not too much privacy. Reservation obligated, no first come first serve anymore. So be aware. We really hate this reservation system!! We don't like to schedule our trip from day to day so it was just a lucky guess that there were two available places at the dates we made our reservations. I'm afraid it was the last time for us. (Note for the organisation: why don't you skip THE WHOLE reservation policy?? Would serve people so much better!!!)
