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.

It is a gorgeous campground with beautiful views and plants. There’s a room to wash dishes. Please note that there is a sign in the campground that says “water” but the outdoor water spigots are not producing water. however water can be obtained in the room in which dishes can be washed.

Saddlehorn was stunning! It was mid April and very cold when we arrived. The dramatic contrast of snow and blooming cacti was just beautiful. Well cared for campground and super helpful rangers.

Stayed at site 42. Great large pinion tree shade, incredible views during the day of the canyon and beautiful twinkles from the City at night. Bathrooms were immaculately clean and a pleasure. Great place for a basecamp to explore hiking trails in the monument.

Nice location for bicycling around the rim.
Available space for a small pop-up trailer was barely off of the asphalt. Many sites seem better suited for camper vans or tents.
After finding dry taps at two locations, water was ultimately found in a utility closet next to the bathroom.

The Colorado National Monument is a remarkable park with stunning rock formations and beautiful canyons. The Saddlehorn campground is located inside the park with easy access to several hiking trails and the visitors center. The campground has conveniently located water spigots and clean bathrooms with flush toilets and sinks. The campsites are a little bit close to one another, but most sites are fairly level and easy to pull into.

This is a somewhat hidden gem of a campground. You have to know it is up in the National Monument and be willing to drive up there, but once you arrive you are in for a treat. It is quiet (no generators!) and the view out towards the east is spectacular. There is easy access to all the trails and sites in the Monument, and only about 20 minutes from Fruita and all that town has to offer.
