The North Fruita Desert Upper Campground C16, located in the state of Colorado, offers a delightful camping experience. This campground provides several amenities, including picnic tables, fire rings, grills, and vault toilets.

The best time to visit the North Fruita Desert Upper Campground C16 is during the spring and fall seasons when the weather is milder.
