Fruita Campground - Capitol Reef National Park
A nice quiet RV and tent camping park right inside Capitol Reef National Park. Backcountry hiking and driving to see the 'reef' like rock formations.
CAPITOL REEF National Park - Fruita campground, Capitol Gorge + Cohab Canyon Trail
We just knew we HAD to stop by Capitol Reef on our 2017 road trip!
Was it worth it?
Absolutely!
- Camping at the peaceful Fruita Campground. (***Read below.)
- Historic settlements.
- Massive petroglyph panel.
- Exploring canyons and slot canyons with our kids - CAPITOL GORGE and COHAB CANYON (our absolute favorite!!!).
- One of the best places in the US for star gazing.
- Spectacular scenic drives and hikes.
- Not as crowded as other national parks.
We had a great time in Capitol Reef!
***CORRECTION: As of early 2018, FRUITA CAMPGROUND is NO LONGER on a first-come first-serve basis (which was the case in 2017 when we stayed here). The park has since moved to a reservation system, and as of right now, campsites can be reserved ahead of time from March through October.

Capitol Reef is home to towering sandstone structures and impressive canyons, but it also holds many ancient petroglyphs, which are engraved etchings into rock walls. Fremont and Ancestral Puebloan people lived here between 600-1300 A.D., and their markings tell what appears to be their the stories, hunting patterns, crop cycles, and mythologies of their lives. What they thought and what exactly they were communicating, will never be known because there is no actual translation available. That’s part of the fun of seeing them: imagining what the conversations of the ancients told of this colorful and rugged place.
You can scour over the beautiful renderings yourself, and take your best guess at a mixture of forms, including pictures that appear to be anthropomorphs (human figures), wildlife, birds, tools, and more esoteric, abstract things. The Fremont people, more than other neighboring Native American cultures, were prolific with their rock art output.
Archaelogical artifacts from the Fremont were first found along the Fremont River, which flows through the park. These people lived in pit-style houses and they lived in bands of several families. They were hunter-gatherers, but also adopted agricultural practices to supplement their diets. The Fremont have left their markings throughout the park in petroglyphs on big rocks.
The most pristine example of Capitol Reef petroglyphs can be seen 1.5 miles east of the visitor center on Highway 24. The parking turnout is well-marked. It’s just a short walk along the boardwalk to get to the impressive petroglyph panel. You’ll note animals they hunted, as well as human-like figures with elaborate horned headdresses. Additionally, there is another rock art panel in Capitol Gorge, as well as smaller petroglyphs in more remote destinations within the park. The most pristine example can be seen 1.5 miles east of the visitor center on Highway 24. The parking turnout is well-marked.
It’s worth mentioning that you should refrain from touching the panels, because the oils in your hands can severely damage and erode these precious and ancient artforms. If you see anyone damaging rock art or any archeological site, report it to a ranger immediately.
The Fremont culture navigated this very landscape that you are exploring, searching for food, documenting the patterns of nature and time, potentially passing on information about medicine, and trying to communicate and translate the divine with petroglyphs. The real question is, what do you think the Capitol Reef petroglyphs mean? Start making plans to visit this mystical attraction on your next trip to Utah!

Camping in Capitol Reef
Our Call family camping trip was one for the books! We camped at Capitol Reef, went on kid friendly (and not so kid friendly) hikes, played in the river, and got dirty. Grateful for family time, ridiculous dance moves, and summer memories.

Capitol Reef National Park -- Torrey to Fruita
This is a short trip through the Capitol Reef National Park east of Torrey Utah and heading towards Hanksville Utah. I began the trip about 30 minutes later than ideal but I still got some nice light in places. The video was shot using a GoPro Hero 3 Black camera mounted to the top of the windshield but on the outside of the car to avoid glare and reflections from the windshield. But, having the camera mounted to the outside meant the microphone on the camera was licking up mostly wind noise so I reduced the sound from it by 36db.
At about the twelve minute mark I entered the town of Fruita and in addition to the historic one room schoolhouse there is an amazing collection of petroglyphs that are quite spectacular.
In addition, there are a number of formations I pass along the journey including Twin Rocks, Chimney Rock and another I believe is called Castle Rock.

SwitchbackKids .'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Free and easy access to Capitol Reef National Park!
After visiting two very popular Utah parks -- Zion and Bryce Canyon -- Capitol Reef was a breath of fresh air. And one of our favorite parts about visiting this park is that it was almost totally free!
When we arrived at the visitor center, they informed us that their only developed campground, Fruita Campground (first-come-first-served only, not reservable) was full for the night, and rangers were ready with a handout full of alternative camping areas. We had not dabbled into BLM (Bureau of Land Management) camping before, but this experience would encourage us to utilize it throughout the rest of our year-long trip to the national parks.
This “campground” is located about a mile outside of the national park, which allows great access to everything inside Capitol Reef. Usually free camping like this is harder to discover, but this pull-off is just off the road.
Benefits of camping in BLM land include the cost (free!), solitude (you can be as far away from people as you’d like), and easy access to the national park (in fact, most national parks are surrounded with National Forest Service or BLM land!). Downsides, of course, include the lack of amenities, the sometimes uninspiring scenery, and the feeling of uneasiness (can I really just camp here? For free?)
Capitol Reef’s BLM camping is plentiful, but this site was definitely the best. We were able to drive up on a high ridge of the pull-out area that the RVs could not easily access, so we felt alone and watched the g...
