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.

Campsite 54 C is tiny. We could barely fit a tent on the site with our camper van. Beware!

The park showed some great effort in being accessible. Got eaten alive by gnats, and got very windy with a little rain each afternoon. But bathrooms and views and visitor center were amazing.

B32 was mostly level with a large campsite. Considering you’re camping on top of a giant rock it’s as level as it’s going to get. The views and peaceful relaxation are worth the drive up. Bathrooms are spotless. Have everything you need with you as the drive back down will take some time.
Walk around loop B to view the amazing sunsets. Walk through Loop C to access a trailhead with views over the monument and town below. Beautiful area.

Absolutely stunning! Campground is well maintained. New bathrooms, new amphitheater. We saw loads of bighorn sheep. It's like going to the big National Parks in Utah without the crowds.

Mince campground. Nice rim hike from the CG. Clean bathrooms with flush toilets and running water. A good spot for a night or two.

Spacious, fairly private site with a great view!
You are not able to stake down a tent due to the very hard & rocky ground.
