CAPITAL REEF, UTAH
Located in south-central Utah in the heart of red rock country, Capitol Reef National Park is a hidden treasure filled with cliffs, canyons, domes and bridges in the Waterpocket Fold, a geologic monocline (a wrinkle on the earth) extending almost 100 miles. The Fruita Campground area is located one mile south of the visitor center and is often described as an oasis within the desert. The Group Campsite is near Loop C of the Fruita Campground. It is a semi-shaded, grassy campsite and is located in the Fruita Historic District of the park.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GROUP CAMPSITE
Sheltered picnic areas are provided at the group campsite and there is a large grassy area for tents and activities. Campers will enjoy the fire pit for relaxing evenings around the campfire and the above-ground grill for cooking. Amenities also include restrooms with flush toilets, a utility sink, drinking fountain and potable water faucets centrally located. There is no electricity available.

THERE ARE NOFOOD STORAGE LOCKERS
PLEASE BRING FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS AND COOLERS THAT WILL NOT LET IN ANIMALS
The Group Site Holds 40 campers
But I am only taking 25 campers
only 10 cars can be parked at the camping spot and those cars will be for those who transport 2 or more campers. If we have more than 10 cars with 2 people then we will do a lottery for who parks at the campground.
All remaining cars will be parked at the Visitor Center which is 1/2 walking distance. There is a trail from the camping site to the Visitor Center.
===============================================================================================================
Natural Features
At Fruita Group site, large deciduous trees provide a shaded setting among beautiful and striking red rock cliffs. The group site sits adjacent to the Fremont River at approximately 5,500 feet elevation and is surrounded by unique historic orchards.
