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.

If you have a big rig, you'll want to use Loop C as those sites are larger. Lots of deer are in the campground, so watch where you step. The setting is very nice in the trees with great views from some sites. If you like to hike there are several trails that leave from the campground. The views from the Cohab Canyon Trail were fantastic. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The Trailer Life description of this campground is wrong. According to park staff member about half of the sites will take a 30 ft class A. No electric or showers but potable water is available at the dump station. The campground was full when we were there and quite noisy and busy but still nice; the camp hosts were actively helpful and friendly. Views of the red rock formations surrounding the orchard oasis were quite stunning. Mule deer roamed freely through the area. Campground is a mile from the visitor center and right on the way to the scenic drive. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very nice campground. No hookups, but the scenery was incredible. Deer wandering through the sites, massive cliffs towering, etc. Close to several trails. We pulled in at 4pm on a late September weekday and got one of the last 3 spots. It definitely is popular! We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you don't need or want hook-ups this is the best CG in the area. However, the number of sites suitable for rigs 25' and over is very limted. During the season these go fast. This park does not take reservations so getting one of the prime sites is pure luck. In general sites are fairly well separated from each other and need significant leveling. Dump station is convenient. As is the rule for NPS CG's there are no showers available. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Get here early or get reservations. Small campgroud in the orchards that have fruit you can pick and eat. Fun place to experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There was free, but slow Wi-Fi. Verizon cell signal okay, but could not get a Verizon air card signal since this is a Verizon extended service area. Some sites need tree trimming. We were able to get TV satellite at site #26. The on-site grilled pork dinner was delicious. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park, well maintained, friendly staff. Sites are too close and when your neighbor lights the BBQ or the fire you get it too. But would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Compared to others in the Grand Circle area, this one is above average, with exception of a veeeery slow Wi-Fi. Almost unusable and we are close to the office. I was told Verizon cell coverage was available, but not so. Wonderland down the road does have good cell coverage, however. Sites do slope a bit, but no biggie. I sure hope the guy next to me doesn't decide to have a camp fire....the pit is too close to me! Office staff was very friendly and their store carried a large number of items. They have park cookouts on weeknights. Torrey is a very small town with no real grocery store and restaurants are few and way overpriced, so bring your own groceries and cook in the RV. But the drive up #12 to here is an awesome experience and well worth the trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice campground. Fully stocked gift/supplies store. Best prices on souveniers. Six miles to Capitol Reef Nat'l Park entrance, 12 miles to Visitor's Center. Beautiful views, wi-fi adequate, laundry on site, as well as hair stylist. ATV and 4-wheel drive vehicles available for rent. Very friendly and helpful staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice Campground with a beautiful view out back. Very well maintained. There's not much to do in Torrey, but it is within an easy drive to Capital Reef, Escalante, and Dixie National Forest. The WiFi connection had decent download speeds but was terrible on upload (making it difficult to keep our vacation blog updated). 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.

Only stayed one night, but seemed like a nice park. Wi-fi was slow, but it worked. Would try it again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed here numerous times usually in October or April. Owners are wonderful and accommodating. Beautiful setting. Owner bakes great muffins. Son has a repair shop adjacent to campground. Saved our vacation once when we blew a radiator. Wife loves the gift shop. Has quality resort wear, tee shirts and gifts at good prices. Located in Torrey which is a good bit higher than the National Park. Colder in spring and winter, cooler in summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were unable to get a full hook up site, and as a result we spent less for the two nights we were here than others have. Although I had specified when I made the reservation that we had a 36' fifth wheel with 3 slides, we were assigned to a space that was just barely wide enough for our rig. It was also barely long enough. With the slides out, we were at the edge of the site on both sides. The sites on either side of us were wider and had small, less than 20' long, no slide campers on them. This was lucky for us or we would not have fit. The owner seems quite full of herself and is not providing the level of service one would expect from a CG with this high a rating in Trailer Life. There is WiFi available, but it is weak at the back of the campground. If you want to use the computer in the office, there is a charge. There is no cell phone service in the entire area, at least from Verizon, but I also heard others with different providers mentioning the same problem, which is not the fault of the campground. There is a pay phone available outside the office in case of emergency. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a very nice park convenient to Capitol Reef National Park. The views from the campground in every direction were wonderful. The owners were helpful. The landscaping was well maintained. Our only complaint was that there were too few washers and dryers and they were expensive. The dryers need to be replaced. It took forever to dry anything. I gave up on some items and hung them up to dry in our 5th wheel. Although I didn't use the restrooms or showers, I looked at them and they appeared clean. I agree with a previous reviewer in that there should be more of them for the size of the place. The campground is set back from the road and it was very quiet at night. We would return. If you go there, don't missing dining at Cafe Diablo just down the road. The food was incredibly good! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice rv park near Torrey. We stayed here as a base for a guided fly fishing trip and found the owners to be very nice and the facility well cared for. There is a "cookout" available on certain nights which is a nice option if you're too tired to cook, or if you'd like to meet some new people. The rv park is just outside of capital reef state park, and a lot of our neighbors headed out to the park during the day for hiking, 4x4, etc. (so it is a good location for that). The only complaint we had was how expensive the washing machines and dryers were (bring a lot of quarters!). We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The Trailer Life Directory rating for this park are totally overstated. The pull through sites are listed as 32 by 70 feet, they are actually 24 by 50 or so with barely enough room for a slide and awning. They have 3 toilets and showers for 58 sites plus they allow the Rotel Tour buses with 30 people per site to stay here. One of the tours pulled in while we were here totally overloading the limited bathroom facilities they have. The owner has received good comments before but I can tell you she does not take criticism well. There are better places in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great Views. Good park to visit Capitol Reef NP from. Friendly staff. If you like buying trinkets, hats, and shirts, they are well stocked. The sites are large, spacious, and we saw only pull throughs. At 7000 feet elevation the nights can be cold. We had a hard freeze in late April. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park - very clean and the owners are just wonderful people. Gift store has many great items that she buys herself and hand picks her suppliers and items; not the usual commercial things you see. Highly recommend a stay here for Capitol Reef (which we love). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We really liked this park. Our relatives rented a small cabin while we had site #15, a level full hook-up pull-through for our 30 ft class A. We had a lot of rain during our stay but the gravel surfaces drained pretty well. We liked the views from our site and the trees and grass in the campground. The sites are not huge but angled to give you more visual space. One nitpick is that if you pull in toward the left side of the site so that your sewer connection will reach easily you are quite close to your neighbors fire pit. Owners and hosts were friendly and helpful. We were very happy to find Wi-Fi. It worked well; we paid $3 for two days. Bathrooms and showers were clean and in decent condition and close to our site. The laundry we used was clean and in good repair. Our relatives were happy with their cabin as well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped in a small (16') travel trailer, our friends in a large 5th wheel. The campground host was very friendly. We had two dogs that stayed no charge. The scenery was beautiful. The park was clean and everything was conveniently placed.The sites were large and most are pull throughs. For late September this place was great! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very convenient park when visiting Capitol Reef and the surrounding area. Staff was very friendly and the camp has "cowboy suppers", fresh-baked bread for purchase plus you can put in your order each night for fresh-baked muffins of several varieties! The rate for us averaged $19 with taxes, including the weekly and Good Sam discounts. Overall, a good value and nice place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our family planned to stay here over the Easter weekend for 5 quiet days at the campground...it started off nice the first day and the management was friendly but the next day a convoy of toy haulers began to invade our peaceful stay...the managers had put us right next to a ATV club get together...there were 40 plus motorcycles and ATV's running constantly around the camp dawn to 10~11 at night plus the rude kids and adults walking through our camp constantly ruined it for us...I think management should of informed us of this issue since we made resevations a couple of months in advance...the WiFi was very slow and there was a seperate charge...would not stay here again and its a shame. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

There areen't many full service RV parks in this area. This one is the best. Visual separation is limited to a few trees but the sites are wide enough that you don't feel right on top of your neighbor. Sites are level and can accomodate big rigs. CG closes in late October and doesn't open again until Spring. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Some sites are so small they actually combined two to make a single, usable site. Bathrooms and showers are clean but rustic if you like that sort of thing. Wi-Fi works but a *really* slow broadband link. Pleasant staff. Very scenic backdrop for the lucky few who are willing to sacrifice a full hookup (sites 1-13). Avoid sites 50-58. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is not the closest full hook up to Capitol Reef National Park. However, there is a great view, small trees, a patch of grass and firepits. Sites are level, gravel but very narrow. They offer a computer modem but you have to pay for the half hour, even if you have your own computer. The owner has diversified too much and has gotten greedy. They offer a huge gift store, firewood, ATV and Jeep rentals, she sells muffins and offers a BBQ dinner on the weekends and they have a hair salon on site. They do not recycle. They did deliver a message about incoming mail. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park rates an 8 or 9 if you get a pull-through but 5 or 6 with a back-in. Back-in sites are not level and very cramped...barely room for slideouts. reservations are needed on busy holiday weekends. On previous trips we were able to get pull-through sites and they were fine. Roads and sites are all gravel and it gets dusty but it is still by far the best option in the area. Staff was friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park and good location as base for Capitol Reef NP/Friuta and lake destinations in south-central Utah. Scenic Hwy 12 intersects the town of Torrey and is a beautiful way into Bryce Canyon. Fulltimers staff the campground and are very helpful and friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Located at crossroads just outside of Torrey. A small campground but good location for Capital Reef National Park. There is a good area to park and register. It has a wide gravel access road. Long gravel pull-through and back-in sites but some are slightly sloping. Although it is next to the road there is limited road noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A well maintained park with grass and picnic table at each site. There are large grassy areas with golf green and crochet court. The pull throughs are 60 feet, full hookup 30 or 50 amp (except site 12 only 30 amp). It is the only park in Torrey with both cable TV hookup and free WI-FI. The park is located at the junction of Highways 12 & 24, but minimimal traffic noise. The visitors center, restaurants, gas station, and tour center are directly across the intersection within walking distance. During late October occupancy was slow, therefore the park manager was not in the office for registration. It is a great location for visiting Capitol Reef National Park (the entrance is only 3 miles east). We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very clean and well maintained park. The back in sites are good sized and the pull thrus are average or better. There is some noise from the highways as the park is located at the junction of Highways 12 & 24, but little traffic a night. There are only a mens room, womens room, accessible bathroom and two unisex showers. The laundry was clean and the machines were in very good condition although the driers took a very long time to dry even on high heat. This was the only park in the area that offered cable TV, it was included in the cost and it worked well. The WI-FI was free and the signal was strong. It was slow to very slow when the campground was full and a number of users were on at the same time. The manager and staff (his daughter) were very helpful. This was a good location for visiting Capitol Reef, Escalante Grand Staircase, Dixie National Forest and Fishlake National Forest. We plan to return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

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.

On checking in, the park look great, well maintained and the views are great. Closest park to Capitol Reef NP. After staying here a couple days, there were a few things that could have been better. The roads and sites are gravel and vehicles are allowed to drive too fast within the park, kicking up a lot of dust. Beside us were a couple of trailers with permanent locals living in them. They were a little too noisy, drove too fast, and had older diesel trucks that were extremely smelly. Also there were a few dogs allowed to roam freely. And the WiFi barely works, maybe because we were in the farthest pull-through site. Not a bad park, but could have been better. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here overnight the management was very friendly and the restrooms/showers were separate rooms and very clean, the trees were new and small we would stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
