GenieSummary

What others are saying about this campground
Fruita is a great camping destination located 7 miles east of Utah. It is close to the Colorado National Monument, and the north desert has a lot of trails for 4x4s, mountain biking, and hiking. Campers have two options for camping in Fruita: paid or free. The paid camping area has picnic tables, fire rings, and sage bushes for protection from the wind. The free camping area is located down a small hill in a valley, and is usually more windy and doesnt have any sage for protection. Public bathrooms are located in a nearby parking lot. This campground is especially popular in the spring and fall, and is great for mountain bikers due to its direct access to trails. Sites are close together and small, so no big RVs will fit. There are bathrooms, picnic tables, and cell service is good. This spot is primarily used by mountain bikers, and during the summer months finding a spot can be hard. There is a $20 fee to camp here, and reservations are required as of 2022. If you are not mountain biking, you may want to consider camping at the Colorado National Monument or Rabbit Valley.
