Best RV Parks & Resorts near Fruita, CO

Spacious pull-through sites make Fruita a good choice for RVers with larger rigs, as many campgrounds can handle motorhomes and fifth wheels up to 45 feet long. The RV parks around town have a mix of concrete and gravel pads, with most being fairly level and requiring minimal setup time. You'll find hookup options ranging from basic electric to full service sites with water, sewer, and electric connections (both 30-amp and 50-amp available). Most Fruita campgrounds have dump stations on-site, though a few smaller places require you to use public facilities nearby. The roads to most RV parks are well-maintained and wide enough for big rigs, though some of the more remote spots might require careful driving after rain. Quiet hours and generator restrictions are common at the public campgrounds, typically limiting generator use to daytime hours between 8am and 8pm. Nearly all sites come with the standard picnic table and fire ring setup, giving you outdoor living space beyond your RV. If you're planning a trip during peak season (April-October), book well in advance as the best sites fill up quickly, especially those with shade or views. From most RV parks, you can easily reach mountain bike trails, hiking areas, and downtown Fruita for supplies and restaurants. Cell service is generally good near town but can get spotty at some of the more distant campgrounds toward the Colorado National Monument.

    BLM #174 Road Dispersed Camping

    Best Spot in Fruita

    I’ve been coming to 18 road for years, but this is the first year with a camper (19 feet). Very spaced out, easy to get away from others if you want peace, right by excellent mountain biking, and pretty close to town. With a cell service extender and a hotspot both my partner and I were able to work remotely from here.

    Island Acres Section Camping — James M. Robb Colorado River State Park

    Spacious State Park

    Overnight stay. Nice park park like setting with all the necessary amenities. Very flat concrete site with picnic table and canopy, fire ring, and gravel sitting area. 30 amp electric and water worked great. Excellent Verizon service as well. Nice view of distant mountains. We did occasionally hear a train in the distance, but it did not affect our sleep. Would stay again.

    Fruita Section Camping — James M. Robb Colorado River State Park

    Perfect spot for Colorado NM

    I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as a Regional/Public Park — Grounds that are on public lands, and have a cost for entry and/or overnight stay. Ratings for this category are based on: Cost: 5 Allure of the park/lands: 4 Amenities as available (bathrooms, showers, hookups, etc): 5 Layout and privacy of sites: 5

    We have come to love camping in state parks. This park fits the bill of our now high expectations. Reasonable cost ($30 for electric & water + State Park fees), good layout with nice privacy, clean facilities (laundry, bathrooms, Rec rooms) and easy access.

    It’s about 15 minutes from Main Street in Grand Junction and very close to groceries, gas and restaurants. It is right off a main highway and has some ambient road noise but the biggest disturbance is the trains that come by around 11pm and blare the horns. We experienced it both nights, but after that... peaceful. We enjoyed the stars one night, but the glowing Taco Bell sign across the street was a little imposing. All good. The park is right at the bottom of the foothills to Colorado National Monument... less than 3 miles to the entrance station. It’s also right along the River Trail for cycling and walking/running.

    Each site is paved and level with a large gravel area with a shaded structure, picnic bench and fire pit. The roads are wide and very easy to navigate to your site. It’s a popular park for camping, so make reservations.

    Saddlehorn Campground — Colorado National Monument

    Great base for exploring the Colorado Nat'l Monument

    This campground is near the visitor center just off the rim road, about a 25 mile road from one entrance to the other. There are several hiking trails for exploring the Colorado National Monument; you could keep busy for a couple days or more, depending on how much you enjoy hiking. There is also rock climbing.

    The campground has 3 loops:

    • A: no reservations, open year round

    • B: reservations and walkup. If you have a reservation, your site will have a "Reserved" sign along with dates and your last name. No check in is required. Open sites have an "Open" sign.

    • C: doesn't show up on recreation.gov so it looks like it is also walkup. I think groups can reserve it. There are tent pads which I didn't see in A and B (but you can pitch a tent in A and B). Only tents and truck campers are allowed, and no generators are allowed in loop C.

    Bathrooms seem fairly new with auto flush toilets, motion sensor faucets and hand dryers. There is potable water at various locations clearly marked with a "water" sign. No electric, water or sewer at sites.

    There are a few "driveway" styles in loops A and B: back in/pull in, pull alongside and pull through. Picnic tables and grills are back among juniper and pine trees, and you can pitch a tent. I would stay in loop C if I had a tent...very nice sites.

    And the views are beautiful, especially at sunset.

    Palisade Basecamp RV Resort

    Wow! Love this camping spot

    Can’t say enough about this camp spot. Wow!! Pull throughs ... back ends available. Fabulous service from the owners. We planned on staying 2 nights but ended up staying a few more days. Dog park, showers, laundry faculties, full hookups, general store, art, great WiFi (we had Verizon) ... and some sites are backed up to the Colorado River. Just amazing .... very clean. Would highly recommend!

    Canyon View RV Resort

    Grand Junction, CO

    Loved this place!!! Very clean, friendly and have huge sites. Looks fairly new. It’s close to everything including sites. The mountains are beautiful. Night sky was jaw dropping. The resort was very quiet which was SO nice and relaxing. We didn’t use any amenities but I have no doubt they would be flawless. Grand Junction is worth a 2 night stay it has some incredible things to see. Good restaurants and we had perfect weather. It’s very pet friendly and even have small pet runs in some sites which we got. Nice dog park too. Grand Junction itself is very pet friendly.

    Cobbett Lake

    Heaven sent

    I arrived at this campground on top the Mesa. First I always thought the Mesa would be flat and by god it’s more than flat, it’s beautiful. The mosquitos were like mini vampires. Beside that, the Forrest and lakes were wonderful. The fishing was great. Lots of folks catching there limits.

    The campsites are hit or miss if you are tent camping. Some of them are on slopes and are only good for an RV however we did sent you tents in the pull through sites. We reserved sites 1, 9, 10, 11.

    Site 1 is fabulous, on the lake and great for tents or a pop up.

    Site 9 is a pull through site. Has one flat spot for a tent but besides that it is next to the hiking trail and the wildlife is all around. Morning deer to chipmunks :)

    Site 10 is very large for a group site per say.

    Site 11 was nice and held 3 tents.

    Each site has modern camp fire rings. The campground offers large wood bundles for $10.

    Four Seasons River Inn & RV Park

    Convenient campground that accommodated our large rig

    Pretty campground with grass at the sites, a river a short walk away (there's a good portion of the campground with riverside sites, but limited for larger rigs). We were up by the highway, so the traffic was loud and the neighbors were fairly close. Not too terrible, and nothing a fan couldn't drown out at night. Could not park our tow vehicle at our site, but got a spot nearby across the road. We had some long term neighbors that let their dogs poop around our hookups, so the day we left was a nightmare. But that's not the campground's fault. They just need to enforce dog cleanup a little more maybe.


Guide to Fruita

The Fruita area sits at approximately 4,500 feet elevation in western Colorado near the Utah border, with the dramatic Book Cliffs and Colorado National Monument providing a striking backdrop to camping experiences. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, while spring and fall offer milder conditions for outdoor recreation. RV campers will find that most campgrounds in the area can accommodate rigs of various sizes on primarily level terrain.

What to do

Mountain biking on world-class trails: The 18 Road trail system north of Fruita offers over 40 miles of single-track trails ranging from beginner to advanced. "We were pleased with our stay. There are biking and hiking trails as well as the national monument itself," notes a visitor at Monument RV Park.

Explore Colorado National Monument: Just 12 miles from Fruita, this park features 31 miles of paved roads with pullouts for scenic viewpoints. "We visited the Palisades and hiked in Colorado National Monument. We also rode our mountain bikes all around," shares a camper from Canyon View RV Resort.

Wine tasting in Palisade: Visit local vineyards within 20 minutes of Fruita. "The winery next door (colterris) is awesome. Small family owned great atmosphere. A truly amazing stop on our way east," according to a guest at Palisade Basecamp RV Resort.

What campers like

River access for fishing and water activities: Several campgrounds provide direct Colorado River access. "Tent sites on the Colorado river. Great find... vineyards all around, a local brewery," mentions a camper about Palisade Basecamp RV Resort.

Clean facilities and amenities: Most RV sites near Fruita, Colorado maintain well-kept bathrooms and showers. "The bathrooms, showers and laundry were up to par. They also have a RV storage space," reports a visitor at Monument RV Park.

Proximity to town services: Many campgrounds offer convenient access to supplies and restaurants. "You could hear some interstate noise but not enough to keep you awake. Had a hot tub that was actually hot and clean," notes a camper from Junction West Grand Junction.

What you should know

Interstate noise affects some campgrounds: Highway sounds can be noticeable at certain RV parks. "It is along the road, and on a slope—it might be the case that the spots at the top, near the road, are noisy," advises a guest from Four Seasons River Inn & RV Park.

Limited shade in newer parks: Many campgrounds have young trees that don't provide much coverage. "No trees for shade, but they have planted quite a few. The I-70 noise goes on day and night of course, but it's so hot so I've been inside with the AC on and can't hear it," explains a camper at Canyon View RV Resort.

Tent pads may be uneven: If tent camping, be prepared for potential slopes. "Really great spot but prepare to roll. All of the tent pads seem to be at a pretty wicked slope, including ours," warns a camper at Palisade Basecamp RV Resort.

Tips for camping with families

Pool access during hot months: Some campgrounds offer swimming options for children. "There is a pool for the warmer months and it's in close proximity to a Dairy Queen, liquor store and other restaurants," mentions a visitor at Monument RV Park.

Pet-friendly features: Many parks accommodate four-legged family members. "Very pet friendly and even have small pet runs in some sites which we got. Nice dog park too," shares a guest at RV Ranch at Grand Junction.

Playground availability: Check for kid-friendly amenities. "There is a playground for kids and a splash pad that was working," notes a camper at Junction West Grand Junction.

Tips from RVers

Site selection matters: Consider highway proximity when choosing sites. "The entrance is at a busy location on the highway and steep so take care while entering. We had a nice site within eyeshot of the river," advises a camper at Four Seasons River Inn & RV Park.

Internet connectivity varies: Wi-Fi quality differs between campgrounds. "Internet was fast and we were able to stream and work at the same time," reports a visitor to Canyon View RV Resort.

Hookup reliability: Check that all connections work properly upon arrival. "30amp plug didn't work upon arrival, we used 50amp, but the next day they were out to fix it," shares a camper at Monument RV Park.
