Bathrooms were locked!!! Campsite was nice. Very disappointing.

The campground is incredibly beautiful in fall season. It's surrounded by golden leaves trees. We spent one night camping in a tent there and the neighbors have been very quiet and considerate. The campsite we have has nothing to complain about, it's flat and roomy, with a fire ring and picnic table and benches. It's next to the Gillford house, so we got to try their tasty pies as breakfast when they open in the morning.

We were lucky to get a spot here, it books up quickly. We wanted to stay in the park so that we could hike from the campsite. We took the Cowan Canyon hike at Sunset and it was fabulous! The site itself was nice. It was easy to level on and it had a bit of shade. The sites are also nicely spaced out so you arent too close to your neighbors. The only issue was that no generators were allowed at all in loops A and B. This made it hard for us to make dinner. Overall, we enjoyed our time at the campground and especially at this beautiful national park.

Nice little campground tucked back in the trees. I stayed there on New Years Eve, and it was nice and quiet, very peaceful.

The campground is spacious with shade. However, more than half of the park was closed for summer 2024. would appreciate the NPS to provide those update/alert on recreation.gov.

First off, great campground host. Absolute best I have ever encountered. Clean bathrooms. Clean site. Only problem I had with the campground was that many of the sites are reversed so backing in the trailer your door faces the neighbors not your fire pit or picnic table.

Nice campground with trees for shade, good facilities, well groomed sites, friendly staff and interesting interpretive programs. Loved the pies and cinnamon buns! And of course the great hikes a short walk from the campground. Also really appreciate the no-generator policy in loops A & B.

Beautiful campground directly in the orchard, within the park, with 2 great hikes that start either right from or across the road from the campgrounds. Well be back!

Beautiful and quiet setting. Beautiful night sky filled with stars. Lots of signs telling people not to interact with Deer and Turkeys roaming the camp ground, but some still ignored the warnings. 1 deer was enamored by dog and would not stop following us on our walk. Great and helpful camp host, saw him trying to help fix a RV electrical problem and lending some tools. Clean bathrooms at the start and the end of the day.

Lovely campground

Fruitas setting was unique and beautiful. Waking up to a view of green pasture and horses, fruit trees, the historic home, and the rock faces was fantastic. The campground host was very helpful and accommodating for us.

Two friends and I just spent two weeks camping at all five major national parks in Utah and this was by far our favorite campsite. Best thing about it was that many of the trails could be accessed directly from the campground, so no driving just to park at a trailhead. For whatever reason, it was filled with families, so there were kids and dogs and everyone having a good time. Clean bathrooms. Negatives were that the generators fired up at exactly 8:00 a.m.. Even worse was the campground host(?) who ran a gas leafblower for a few hours every day in a futile attempt to rid the campground of leaves!?! In the Fall?!? No cell service until you get closer to town, but it's tough to beat the three-minute walk to the Gifford Homestead where you can get fresh-baked bread and pies each morning! Overall an A+ park and an A+ National Park campground!

This is always a special place to camp and this time was no exception. Gorgeous setting, clean campsites and restrooms.
