Map
The developed Fruita Campground sits among the orchards on the Fremont River — shaded, paved, with water and flush toilets — and it books out months ahead for spring and fall, so reserve the moment your dates open on Recreation.gov. The park's other two campgrounds, Cathedral Valley and Cedar Mesa, are primitive and first-come, reached only by unpaved backcountry roads with no water or services. If the in-park sites are gone, Torrey's private campgrounds and the dispersed sites on the surrounding Dixie National Forest and BLM land are the overflow.
Camping
In-park · Group Camp
The park's only group site, in the Fruita orchards by the Fremont River — reserve ahead; the in-park campground is otherwise small.

In-park · Frontcountry
A lush oasis among the historic Fruita orchards by the river — open year-round and booked solid March through October, so reserve six months out.

In-park · Backcountry
Six remote sites at 7,000 feet in Cathedral Valley, 36 miles out — free and first-come, but plan on high-clearance 4WD and bring all your water.
In-park · Backcountry
Five quiet sites down Notom-Bullfrog Road (usually 2WD), free and first-come — a pit toilet, no water, and the Red Canyon trail next door.
