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

Small sites but most are nicely screened from adjoining sites. Plenty of water available, sufficient restrooms, and they're kept clean.

Campsite needed tidying up, e.g. bits of trash, pop tops, soda pop bottle lids, etc. Picnic table was grungy, placed at a tilt over a runoff gully, and was too heavy to level out. Our two-pad site was fine, but location means everything. We were at a crook of a one-way road, so every car that passed through flashed headlights right into my tent; there was no other place to set it up, so I was stuck there. Part of my problem is that I've camped at the Monument since the 1990's, and it's worse for wear. This loop needs to be closed for basic maintenance at some of the sites.

Although it was warm outside (not the campground's fault) we had a great time with nice views and a clean restroom. Camp host was super friendly too.

We changed to A Loop because it has tent pads. Even over the labor day weekend it was very quite there.
Host was super friendly.

If i might suggest one thing to improve: make the tables shaded like they did in Canyonlands.

I don’t love camping at pay sites, I prefer going deep and far away from all humans and safety.

However, this is probably one of the best pay sites I’ve ever stayed at. Beautiful view, great amenities, and wonderful sites. I’ll stay again for sure, on my way to find some deep cuts of BLM land of course.

The Camp Host was great this season. He really made it feel like you were staying at his home and helped with any problems. We were actually allowed to move to Loop C because we were tents (and that freed up room for any RVs coming for Labor Day Weekend). The facilities were all very clean.
