Lovely fall visit.Bit of a hassle to return to visitor center to use Wi-Fi to reserve/register.

@JoelleH188B2E8 · Camped on Nov 12, 2024 at Campsite #18

Best national park bathrooms I've ever used!

Excellent campground. Will be back.

Amazing campground, I have to say there is no SIGNAL, so be aware of that! However, it was the most peaceful and enjoyable experience. Really recommend this place, there was no showers (at least at the loop we were staying at).

@AshleyH5737268 · Camped on Nov 11, 2024 at Campsite #71

This is a gorgeous spot. Be aware, there is ZERO cell service in or around the campground and you have to drive a mile or so up to the visitor center to get service from their WiFi. Make reservations ahead of time. Construction is going on now beside the campground. Lots of traffic from the trucks in and out. But they werent too loud. Also, get the pie. We enjoyed our stay here. The camp host was wonderful and it was nice having him around.

@HeidiC1401778 · Camped on Nov 11, 2024 at Campsite #60

Gorgeous campground. Quiet and very well maintained. Easy walk to challenging trails with phenomenal views of the most beautiful national park. Pie!!

@TimE040D26B61D · Camped on Nov 8, 2024 at Campsite #51

Orchards full of all colors on red cliff backgrounds. Motorcycle adventures surround you. Amazing hikes right from the campground. Heated bathrooms in the cold fall days. A great place!

@LauraS4657948 · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #16

Clean bathrooms Beautiful sites well kept by the friendly camp hosts! Hiking trails are close and dont forget to buy your pies!!!

@HannahD2B8ADFF · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #71

lovely setting; nice bathrooms (big, warm, clean; no showers)

@MikeE6316348 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #25

We had a nice stay at the campground. Enjoyed the fall colors, the deer wandering through the campground munching on honey locust bean pods, and the cool weather. Fall is a good tome to visit CARE.

Renegade 38ft, early November 2024 - the Fruita CG was absolutely beautiful including the drive in. The orchards & buildings with the surroundings are gorgeous. That being said, we loved a one night stay BUT 2 gen hours in the morning & 2 hrs in the evening leave our batteries lacking. We are ADA and tried the ADA site but electrical box is locked and marked Medical Devices Only. If we were to do it again, wed do a one nighter and move on.Capitol Reef NP 2024- Fruita CG is located on the Scenic Road thru the NP. However, just past the CG, the Scenic Road is closed for 2024. The visitor center parking lot is under construction. The Chimney trailhead parking is closed due to construction. We talked to a ranger on how to see Capitol Reef. Basically, a 4-8 hour backtrack out of the park on back roadssome 4X4. Therefore, I wouldnt spend a lot of time here, personally. Obviously, the admin has a Spend it Or Loose it for 2024 approach. Zero cell service - Starlink 100mbs We camped at Fruita Campground in a Motorhome.

Very clean and quiet a nice campspot.

@WilliamJ242827 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #42

A wonderful campground surrounded by the red cliffs of southern Utah and the fruit orchards of the pioneers. Level pads for the rv and lots of shade trees. Heated, clean restrooms. As of Oct 2024 the scenic road is closed and the visitor centers parking lot is still under construction. No cell service but the visitor center has free wi-fi. But still lots to see in the area. Go to the Gifford House and buy a pie. (they sell out early everyday) and take a walk along the Fremont river trail. Truly a beautiful setting. Enjoy!!

@RuthB9803959 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #9

great time to visit in October... gifford house with wonderful pies/etc, great hikes, campground hosts are very helpful

@TammyF9169126 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #59

Wide open spaces, spectacular views, dish washing station, flush toilets and mule deer roaming around. Loved our time at Capitol Reef. Make sure you catch the Ranger Talks, the pie and ice cream, some hikes and enjoy the amazing peace and quiet without WiFi and cell service.

@JimS2180263 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #32

Camping in the campground was great. The deer herd wanders through, obviously acclimated to the visitors. We did the Orchard tour, two geology talks (all were really informative and interesting), and we did a couple of hikes. Great Park!

@CarolB2589812 · Camped on Oct 30, 2024 at Campsite #34

Beautiful location. Quiet campground with Loops A&B for no generators.No hookups. Well maintained pads. Clean fire rings. Many trails accessed directly from the campground. Ample parking (off season). Cinnamon rolls were still cooking at the first part of November. Bathroom was uniformly clean and delightfully (womens BR) heated. Toilet stalls, no showers, air hand dryers. We would have had to go to Torrey 11 m away for wood as we didnt see any at the "store" or park office. Delightfully- no cell service but there is a pay phone in the campground for calls/emergency and wifi just at the visitor center. Unfortunately the scenic drive was closed for road work (but it was on the NP website, so we knew in advance).

@SteveS6334481 · Camped on Oct 30, 2024 at Campsite #21

Beautiful campground, hosts were very helpful however. We were under the assumption that we would not need reservations after Nov 1 but we found out that the policy was changed 2 weeks prior to our arrival. We were not the only campers who were inconvenienced but the sudden change in policy. Also, we go camping to enjoy peace and quiet. For 2 days straight there was a NPS employee running a gas-powered leaf blower in our campground from 10 am until 3pm. Come on! it's a campground not a country club. Other than that we had a great time there.

The camphost was very friendly and helpful!! thank you!

@RuthB9803959 · Camped on Oct 29, 2024 at Campsite #4

Wish we had been notified of change in reservations for NOV.... originally campground was first come first serve starting in Nov, but that changed and many people were caught not knowing about the change and hadn't made reservations.. and had to change sites....

@JessicaH685289 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #39

What a lovely spot to enjoy the park! The hosts were great, and I was able to star gaze in the amphitheater area. It was wonderful to camp among the orchards with the curious mule deer wandering about.

@MartyB9040174 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #22

Lovely campground with amazing hiking and sightseeing. Unfortunately for me, road construction was taking place in the park. However, I understand this type of maintenance is necessary and I felt the website was fully transparent about the work being done. Cant wait to go back.

@SCOTTE9484100 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #11

Very beautiful campground.

@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!!!
