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

A great place but you need more than two levelers to make that the camper stands straight

Great campground, we stayed in site 43. The outer loop sites 37, 39, 42, 43, 49, 51 are adjacent to the cliff. Very nice not have any neighbors behind you and be able to venture out and watch the sunset, city lights, and sunrise. Maybe not ideal if you have small kids who like to wander off. Site 43 is not visible from the camp road , I passed it the first time. There is a parking spot and the picnic table and grill are several yards down a path and very private. Site is better for a smaller tent. My 6-person tent was a little too big and we ended up sleeping at a slant. 2 or 4 person tent would be ideal. In my opinion, 42 and 43 are the best campsites in the campground. Close to the bathroom but not close enough to hear the flushing toilet all night or have people constantly walking past your tent.

Windy roads with steep cliffs to get to the campsite but beautiful once you’re there! Feels very private and the bathrooms were well maintained.

Our site 26 was nice but allowing 12 tents and over 20 high school students to camp next to us (site15) was unacceptable. The kids are great but their host and the campground failed to teach them about campground etiquette.

Walking through our camp constantly, having too many people in one site and not quiet after ten was not clear to them.

Worst camping ever in 30 years.

We deserve a refund honestly.

When we arrived 3 tents were in our pull-through site and had to get the host to help move then tents. Not fun on 90 deg and our RV blocked the road for 30min before solving.

Shame.

We stayed at site 36B, which is on the outer loop and offers really fantastic views. The site is supposed to be able to support up to three tents according to the instructions on site, but we had an extremely hard time figuring out where to pitch our tent. My partner was convinced I mistakenly reserved an RV-only site, but I showed him the reservation to be sure. The site hardly matches the photo if at all. We had a picnic table but no grill, disappointingly. There were three potential spots for a tent: one on top of a raging anthill, one completely rocky and uneven, and one tightly tucked between two trees and bordering very closely to our neighbor's campsite. We chose the latter only because our neighbor had a camper to sleep in. Our modestly sized six-person tent just barely fit, and I don't know how any larger would fit at all. Our site also had a parking spot very fit for our car; I'm doubtful an RV or camper would fit that space well either. I can't attest to the other campsites, but 36B doesn't seem to have been planned well at all. Once we set up camp, everything went well (in part because I had a camp stove and didn't need the grill that wasn't at our site). The bathrooms were clean and centrally located, and the dumpsters were also easy to get to. Overall, this campground is great for spending time at such an excellent national monument, but the campsites might not be as well-planned as I would have hoped.

The park itself was awesome. We were surprised by the beauty of the natural surroundings. The crowds that are so familiar at other parks were not present. The only negative is the campsites. Many are small and close together. We happen to be in a site near a group of sites that were being used by a busload of teens. Not the most serene environment. To be fair, there some sites on the outer edges of the campground that offer a bit more privacy.
