About
The Fruita Section is the westernmost portion of the five-section James M Robb-Colorado River State Park, situated along the Colorado River just off I-70 Exit 19. This 57-site campground offers a rare combination of riverside camping with convenient access to urban amenities, as downtown Fruita's shops, restaurants, and museums are within walking distance. The campground features 22 full hookup sites with 50-amp electrical service and 22 electric-only sites with 30-amp service, making it well-suited for RV camping. Walk-in tent sites are also available for those seeking a more traditional camping experience. Year-round amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, stand-up grills, vault restrooms, a playground, and a dump station. During the warmer months (April through October), the campground offers flush restrooms, hot showers, and coin-operated laundry facilities. The adjacent Red Rocks Lake provides fishing opportunities, though it has been designated as zebra mussel-infested, requiring mandatory boat inspections. The Fruita Section Visitor Center is located on the entrance road and provides park information daily. The campground operates year-round, though winter services (November through March) are significantly reduced. During winter months, full hookup sites are closed, leaving only electric and tent sites available. Flush restrooms, showers, and laundry are shut down, and water availability is very limited. Stays are limited to 14 days within any 28-day period.
Directions
From I-70, take Exit 19 and head south on Highway 340 for 0.5 miles. The campground entrance is at 595 Highway 340, Fruita, CO 81521.
