There are few RV parks along this stretch of road. The biggest problem with most is they are near the interstate and thus traffic noise is an issue. River Dance Resort outside of Gypsum has only limited sites with FHU. Glenwood Canyon Resort has not only the interstate noise, but also the train. Same with Ami's acres. The advantage to either of these parks is proximity to the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool (world's largest hot springs pool!). As others have noted, there are several CO SP's along this route. Rifle Gap does have some FHU sites, but everything is out in the open with no trees. At Island Acres, try to reserve a spot as far from the highway as possible. Island Acres does sit in a nice stand of Cottonwood trees and is in the canyon so a little cooler than Fruita (depending on what time of year you are going, this can be important). Fruita is a little further from the highway and thus quieter. This may be the pick selection along this stretch of highway if you need FHU and don't want to travel too far off the interstate.
