Fruita by the Lake

About Campground

The property is a mix of living quarters and a business with a beautiful 2-acre lake accessible in the summer.

Campers will be camping in a life and work environment but have their own little piece of land to enjoy.

They will find endless activities surrounding our property while enjoying their stay. There are miles of mountain and road bike trails easily accessed from the campsite. Rafting, golf, swimming, fishing, hiking, off-roading, dirt bike/ATV trails, Colorado National Monument, and the list goes on and on within a short distance. The campsites are 2 minutes from downtown Fruita for those who would enjoy good restaurants, great coffee shops, or a drink. You will find a grocery store, pharmacy, and gas station in the same area.

**To consider:**

Our place is great but not for everyone. We have three convenient sites, all with electricity and water and one with sewage.

They all have great views and are very close to the town of Fruita. Every camper can enjoy the beach and the lake between May and October.

The property is used by THE GONDOLA SHOP, which restores ski gondolas. You might hear some light noise from Monday to Thursday and see employees walking around. Because of potential hazards, we request that if you have children, you do not leave them alone at any time. We ask that all vehicles drive no faster than 10 miles per hour for the same reason.

We will consider a group of campers or mix camper/tents roof tents as long as you have your bathroom to share. Please email us with any requests you might have. We are open to discussing any inquiries. Between April and October, when our lake is full and usable, our place is great for gatherings and a big BBQ.

Camp #1 / 30amps + water (with hose). This site is on an old concrete pad and will need some leveling. This site is close to the tenant's house, but your camper will face the opposite way, and you will get your privacy. They have a very nice Australian Shepherd that will come and say hi. We accept vans, small campers, and motorhomes class B max 25 feet. It would be best to park nose 1st to access the electric post and back up to get out.

NOT AVAILABLE - Camp #2 / 50amps + water + sewage. This site is on compact gravel and will need some leveling. This site is close to the main shop and the owner's apartment. You will see and maybe hear some action on weekdays. We accept ALL size RVs. It's a pull-through site, easy to park. This spot is suitable for big rigs. We are closed for the winter but might be open to discussing a possible visit between Nov 1st and Feb 28th.

Camp #3 / 50amps + water. This site is long and wide on compact gravel and will need some leveling. On this site, your camper/van will be facing the lake. You can drink your coffee with the birds singing. We accept vans, small campers, and motorhomes class B max 30 feet. This site could accommodate two campers or a mix of tent and camper/RV (extra $).
