Fruita Campground

This campground sets in amazing setting. With gorgeous views of rocky buttes, river flows by the back, orchards with deers often visits and horses in the Gifford historical site. Cottonwoods add to the beauty too. Bathroom is heated and very clean, which is lifesaver for someone like me who hates change clothes in the tents in cold mornings and nights. Camp host was very friendly and allowed me to check in early. My site loop B #36 had double asphalt surface with small unpaved space next to fire pit and picnic table. It rained and was very peaceful. Will come back when it’s time the orchards start to give:)

This is hands down the most beautiful campground in Utah. A true oasis in the desert. I almost hesitate to bring attention to it. It has clean flush toilet restrooms. No power, no cell signal, no rv hookups. It does have hydrants with potable water, and a water fill up for rvs. Grounds are kept nice. The camp host for our stay was great. Fire wood is sold at the near by Gifford house until 430pm. If your going to be later than that, I suggest picking some up in Torrey. Love this place. We will be back next year

What a wonderful campground this was! Located in the Fruita District, we camped in one of the most beautiful and idyllic spots in the area. The host was very friendly when we arrived. The campsite was pretty spacious. However, the sites were open so there’s not much privacy. But during the day, we were off doing hikes anyway so that wasn’t much of a deal. Would definitely recommend staying here! Capitol Reef NP is sometimes overlooked, no idea why. It’s a beautiful park and not as busy as other parks!

We had been once in 2018 and explored a little bit. Unfortunately scenic drive was closed, which we really wanted to explore this time. There was no fruit on any trees (late frost apparently)and of course being a national park it's not very dog friendly. But we still had a fun time because of course it is such a magical area. Really one of a kind, we've been all over the world but you'll never find a little corner exactly like Fruita in capital reef national Park, with the glorious Fremont River chuckling by and special Fremont cottonwoods creating comforting shade. Also step back in time and make sure you check out the fruita school house and the blacksmith shop!

Our stay at Fruita Campground was absolutely wonderful. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. The campground is nestled in a beautiful orchard-lined valley with dramatic red rock cliffs all around — the scenery alone is worth the trip. The campsites were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with plenty of shade from the surrounding trees. We appreciated the peace and quiet, especially in the evenings when the stars came out — the dark sky here is amazing. Facilities were spotless, including the restrooms, which were cleaned regularly. The fresh water and picnic tables at each site made our stay very comfortable. There were even deer wandering through the area in the mornings, which made the experience feel even more magical. We also loved the easy access to hiking trai
