Great campground! Visitors Center unfortunately provided minimal information and should ALWAYS recommend the books in the store for sale that provide great detail on what you will see. B failed to do that when we asked about Notom road and Cathedral Gorge. I read the books AFTER we drove them. I dont care how overworked and busy they think they are, but the staff should focus on whats best for the visitors. Other than that, it was a terrific visit.

GORGEOUS campground in the heart of Capitol Reef NP. Very quiet, lovely place to stargaze after dark. Bathrooms were relatively clean for a campground, no showers available.Our only complaint was that we had some RV campers who ran generators past 11pm the night we stayed unfortunately!

The location is excellent. Bathroom left a lot to be desired. I recommend putting in electric hook ups.

I've been to 46 National Parks, and the experience at the Fruita Campground was by far the most unique. I would definitely stay there again and recommend to my friends and family to stay there as well!

What a beautiful park!!! We stayed 3 days. We had a wonderful trip. The only issue is no use of generators in loop B. Most newer trailers are solar powered for refrigerators & with the fantastic shade, the solar panels couldnt keep up.

Beautiful location with easy access to the scenic drive, popular hikes and the visitor center.

Beautiful! Camping near the orchard was a treat and we loved watching the deer throughout the area. Highly recommend grabbing a pie and some ice cream from the store on site! One thing to note is that these sites were much closer together than a lot of the other NP campgrounds I’ve stayed at and there was little foliage between them so privacy was limited

Fantastic campground! Great hikes nearby. Have to pick up pies at the pie shop.

Great stop on our trip.

Our family LOVED the Fruita Campground! It feels like an oasis in the middle of a dessert because there are beautiful orchards next door to the campground and a river nearby. It's easy to get to and the facilities are nice. We also attended an amazing geology Ranger presentation at the amphitheater next door to the campground. I very much highly recommend staying here!

Clean campgrounds and bathrooms (with soap!). The utility sink was broken in loop C, which was a bummer.

There is no privacy between sites whatsoever. Our site, 69, backed up to the gravel road to the Amphitheater, so it was dusty whenever a car rolled through.

Nice that there was a dump station in the campground and very minimal wait. The fill station was really slow. Bring a hose.

Overall, a nice stay!

We would give this a 5-star, but the site is very rocky and backs up to a gravel access road with zero privacy from the road or the site to the east.
