We came during the "off season" and it was really nice! Campsite wasn't too busy and it seemed clean and well maintained.
@MauriceS80CB69 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #32
Beautiful campground! Was quiet and clean. The history was interesting, and the pies were great!
@KeitthD8F8F5D0 · Camped on Mar 25, 2025 at Campsite #65
Very enjoyable campground and the park is really great Orchards and pie along with desert and water = winning!

Very central to park points of interest, bathroom was heated well
@MeganT1925526 · Camped on Mar 25, 2025 at Campsite #43
Great campsite! We had a little confusion with having two sites reserved -- turns out the sites have to be listed under separate names even if reserved on the same account -- but the camp host was super helpful in getting that worked out. The space was great, and it was awesome to have running water!

Beautiful campground with a great hike that starts at the visitor center. Spots are spread out enough. Deer frequented the area. Highly recommend for kids. Be aware the loops A and B dont allow generators. There is a great little shop that sells ice cream and pies among other things. We will definitely be back!

Had a wonderful night's stay at Fruita. Enjoyed the deer pasturing in the fields at sunset and the pie and cinnamon buns at the Fruita Store!
@BarbK9040586 · Camped on Mar 21, 2025 at Campsite #41
Great location!
@CallaCA298469D · Camped on Mar 19, 2025 at Campsite #59
Many generators were on late at night and early in the morning. People were loud in their campsites, and several people were smoking. Our campsite felt very crowded between two others, like we were encroaching on our neighbors spaces when we were in our tent or at our fire ring. Fruita is very pretty and has the potential to be super nice, but there are too many people/campsites. And too many generators!
@Kathleen61034C · Camped on Mar 19, 2025 at Campsite #26
Great location, nice campsite and clean restrooms
@CharlesP476782 · Camped on Mar 19, 2025 at Campsite #18
We couldn't be happier with a campground. It was perfect! The campground was extremely well maintained, and the campground host were very kind and always available to help. Fruita Campground is a beautiful, unique and an amazing place. Hats off to the National Park Service, the campground host and the workers at the store who all work so hard.
@AbigailB77D698 · Camped on Mar 17, 2025 at Campsite #68
This was one of the most beautiful campgrounds we have ever been to. The friendly, local deer welcomed us when we got there and were there to make sure all of our needs were met. The scenery was breathtaking and the kids had so much fun just playing outside. The only complaint was that the bathrooms were closed, so it was a bit of a trek to Loop A to use the facilities.

We were in Capitol Reef National Park and decided to try and find a spot at the Fruita Campground for the night. Fortunately, there was one open spot and we were able to camp for the night. The campground is clean and easy to maneuver in. The host was extremely nice and helpful with all of our questions. It is very near the Gifford House for fresh-baked pie and the horse pasture for a nice visit with the horses. As a dark sky park, the view of the stars was amazing. We were even able to get good night sky photos with only our iPhones! We will definitely stay there in the future!

Amazing place!
@JohnY5833920 · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #19
Clean and quiet, easy to get trails. Best campinground at Capital Reef National Park!
@RussellF444988 · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #21
Clean campground, friendly staff, amazing views, and cool history. Not much more you can ask for in a National Park!
@DanielJ3350767 · Camped on Mar 15, 2025 at Campsite #59
Such a lovely clean and well maintained campground in a beautiful area. Live the history here. The camp host was friendly and active in keeping the camp loops tidy. We will be back!
@PaulF2981841 · Camped on Mar 13, 2025 at Campsite #42
Everything we needed...nothing we didn't. I loved the "No Generators" policy on RVs. I always hate it when I'm trying to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature and all I can hear is a 2-stroke motor running.
@KellieP0E5099A · Camped on Mar 13, 2025 at Campsite #67
This was a wonderful place to stay. The Gifford House opened the day after we arrived. Thay was a delicious delightful surprise. The backdrop is the perfect setting for camping. We can't wait to come visit again.
@Elizabeth65B4F · Camped on Mar 13, 2025 at Campsite #5
Easy checkin and standard amenities (no shower in the bathroom though!). Also right next to the Gifford house for some breakfast pie :)
@WilliamC221307 · Camped on Mar 12, 2025 at Campsite #19
Beautiful campground, great hike next to river and up to summit. Especially enjoyed pie day at the Gifford house.
@BrytaniMF75FF3 · Camped on Mar 12, 2025 at Campsite #16
Great easy location if you're in the park or general area. Clean bathroom, paved level parking spots, and plenty of space for each campsite.
@SarahJ1100865 · Camped on Mar 12, 2025 at Campsite #22
A lovely campground with spacious sites and beautiful views It is well positioned for access to drives and trails.
@TheresaC171119 · Camped on Mar 11, 2025 at Campsite #10
Our Campground host Lisa was the best! She was so nice to our family, and provided numerous options for hikes. We feel like we got to know her and she got to know us. Restrooms were very clean, and the campground was quiet! Lovely place! We will be back
@LynnH9133148 · Camped on Mar 10, 2025 at Campsite #20
Visitor Center was top notch with maps and info. The campground beautifully kept and so very quiet! We walked the River Trail everyday we were there and the Canyon hike was out of this world.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
