Fruita Campground

The Fruita Campground is often described as an oasis within the desert. Surrounded by historic orchards, this developed campground has 70 RV/tent sites, each with a picnic table and grill, but no hook-ups. A dump site and heated restrooms are also available. Open year-round, the Fruita Campground is the only developed campground in Capitol Reef National Park and as a result usually fills by mid-afternoon during the visitor season. Reservations are accepted for the one group campsite. Check with the Visitor Center for more information.
