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.

Number of accommodations: 79

For those who love the desert area of Colorado this is a gorgeous site with amazing views!

If your rig has a passenger side access to the campground, you will need to find a place to turn around and park so your door faces the picnic table.

This was my favorite place on my travels back across the U.S. to Virginia. I wish I could have stayed a few extra nights for the scenery. The park has beautiful views.

Pros- The views, clean facilities.
Cons- The RV parking was uneven, partially on the road and a hike up to the table and fire pit.

If you don’t mind the walk up to the table the views up on the mesa were very pretty.

I love this Campground. It’s at the top of the Mesa and you can see forever. The Rangers and Host are fantastic. Great trails and unique scenery, wonderful Visitor Center and close to Fuita and Grand Junction. I come here often.

My site didn't really have a great place to put up the tent despite being listed as a tent site (limited room between trees and uneven ground). Some of the sites around the edges of the loop have great views, but you can't see much from the middle. There is some visual privacy between the sites but they're close enough that you can hear everything going on in the neighboring sites.
