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.

We really appreciated in loop C where no generators were allowed. This makes for a much better experience in a campground to enjoy the peace and quite of nature all around.

Unbeatable views over the Grand Valley, and stars at night. This is such a well-kept campground. The bathrooms are always clean.
