Group Campsite

About

The Group Campsite at Capitol Reef National Park offers a secluded camping experience for larger groups in the scenic Fruita Historic District. Located near the main Fruita Campground, the site features a large grassy area for tents and activities, two covered pavilions with picnic tables, designated tent pads, and sheltered picnic areas. Amenities include restrooms with flush toilets, a drinking fountain, potable water faucets, a utility sink for gray water, fire pits, and above-ground grills for cooking. The site accommodates a maximum of 40 people (all children count toward occupancy) and allows up to 10 vehicles total, with truck and trailer combinations counting as two vehicles. Vehicles over 27 feet long will not have room to turn around. Parking on grass is prohibited. Generator use is permitted during designated hours: 8-10 a.m. and 6-8 p.m. Reservations are required through Recreation.gov and are available on a 12-month rolling basis starting from the day of arrival. There is no cell coverage at the campground, so campers should save or print their confirmation before arriving. The RV dump station and water fill station at the nearby Fruita Campground are available to group site users.
