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.

I gave this camp site a 5 because of the clean bathrooms, and it is close to the hiking trails. I especially liked the friendly onsite person keeping an eye on the campsite.

Staff was really awesome and beautiful campsite. However, road has a lot of potholes and their size were huge so that my car has bottom damages.

Pullthru Site 12 was large enough to park my Casita perpendicular to avoid the sun on my fridge vent. Park Ranger stopped by to make sure I was good for the night. Camp host was friendly.

2nd time we have stayed here. Friends were visiting from out of town and it is a great stress free place to get some views and have facilities while camping. Beautiful campground with great tent sites. If it wasn't 22/site to stay we would even stay there ourselves on a casual night.
