This is one of our all time favorites. First, it's smack dab in the middle of Capitol Reef national Park, a magnificent geological wonder, It's small (71 sites, rustic (no showers, covered with mature trees and lawn areas and set in a farm like venue along a creek with deer wandering to and fro and fruit orchards ripe for the picking. Rich in history as well as geology and nature, the campground is perfect as a base to explore the Park. Need a shower? head into nearby Torrey and buy one - the showers at the Thousand Lakes RV park are quite nice. At Fruita it's easy to imagine you are in an earlier time of pioneers. It's a magical place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is awesome, but Fruita Camp Grounds is a bit limited. If you have a rig much over 20 feet make sure you camp in C-Loop. The generator policy (it was cold, 20's for the lows) is very restrictive (8am to 10 am + 6pm to 8 Pm). Most of the tenter's spent only one night as tenting was very uncomfortable. The volunteer guide who did the Cohab Canyon tour/talk was one of the best I have ever met/heard. It was well worth the 3 hours spent listening and treking up the canyon. A former geology professor with a passion for the park, he did a great presentation in a manner that really made the complex geology understandable.. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The Capitol Reef Campground is an oasis in the middle of an unbelievable beautiful desert red rock formation. No hookups, but a must to experience first hand on any trip to the Utah Red Rock country. Water and a dump station are available. There are three loops with small, medium and large campsites available in all. Loop C has the most large rig sites; however, it is best to arrive as early as possible in the day as all sites go fast. Tenters can camp at all sites and about 10 sites are dedicated for tenters only. No showers are available, but clean modern restrooms are provided in all 3 loops. The campground and visitors center is located in an old Mormon homestead town that is called Fruita. The fruit orchards still surround the campground and visitors can pick the fruit. All you can eat on the spot is free and a nominal fee is charged for the fruit you haul out with you. There are numerous trails to hike in the Capitol Reef National Park red rock formations that are anywhere from easy to very strenuous. At night the Park Rangers put on a nature interpitation talk at an outdoor theater which are very interesting and informative and include geology of the rock formations and ancient Anisazi Indian lore. We have visited this campground many times and will return many more. Holders of Golden Age Passes can camp at 1/2 the $10 fee. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is located one mile from downtown Torrey. It only has about 12 spaces and is a no-frills park. The sites are small and I would say that a 32’ rig with slides on one side is what will fit in the sites in this park. The price was right and the park accepts Escapees and Coast-to-Coast discounts. The owners are very friendly and are always working around the park. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

WiFi is available, but is so slow you might as well not have it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park. Very convenient to Capitol Reef Nat'l Park. Wifi was more reliable than some other RV parks we were at in Utah. Staff very friendly and helpful. I agree with a previous review that said the firepits were too close to adjacent coaches. The hookups were convenient. The whole park slopes so the passenger side is always a little low, but not excessive. Price is very reasonable. Very open feel. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Best park, with hookups, near Capitol Reef National Park. Sites are reasonable size but when an RV'er wants to have a campfire, it's too close to their neighbor. Good store and really friendly people. Great price for what you get. Wi-Fi is a little slow but it's free. The view to the North is really, really awesome especially at sundown. Ask for an end site like #29. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is small campground, but well kept up. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. The surrounding view was pretty. Was close to Capitol Reef National Park. The wifi was strong and dependable and we had cell coverage from AT&T. Overall, good for the money. Would definitely go there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very adequate campground. Odd that they charge $5 extra if you use their restrooms or bath facilities. Laundry was excellent. Owners were really pleasant and helpful in things to see in the area. WiFi was silly slow. Over all very clean and tidy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice, clean campground. Kind of spartan in that there aren't many amenities; however, we were there to visit Capitol Reef not recreate at the campground. Nice, helpful staff. WiFi was very slow. For you technophiles the latency was terrible with ping times in the thousands of ms. That being said, for a convenient place to stay when visiting Capitol Reef, this can't be beat. We would stay here again without hesitation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
