About Saddlehorn Campground

Saddlehorn Campground is located within Colorado National Monument which preserves one of the grand landscapes of the American West. Much more than a monument, towering monoliths exist within a vast plateau and canyon panorama. You can experience sheer-walled, red rock canyons along the twists and turns of Rim Rock Drive, where you may spy bighorn sheep and soaring eagles.

Amazing, unique views. The camp host was awesome. Spotless restrooms. Only downside was an uneven camp site that required some "creative" leveling for our trailer. But there are plenty of small boulders to help out the trailer jacks 😀

Sadly the bathroom near site 72 did not have a faucet that worked.

Some (if not most) of the campsites are not close to level. About half of them are very "tilted" and would not recommend for larger RV types. Our 30 ft RV was not too bad in sites 22 & 50. But still needed to set our blocks to get it close to level. The campground is standard for any National Park or Monument campground. Walking distance to the Visitor Center and the 23 mi drive thru the park had incredible views of the Grand Junction Valley. Would definitely stay here again.
