Amazing!!! To camp in the top of this monument was an increíble experience! The views, the amenities, the sunset and the sunrise made the camping a unique adventure.

Saddlehorn is a great campground with great amenities, great layout, great views, and awesome hosts. Definitely my favorite place to camp near Fruita/Grand Junction

Too hot in the summertime but the ranger programs are interesting and fun. That was my 13 year old son’s review. I agree this would be a great stay outside of summertime or if your camping rig includes air conditioning. The location is convenient and magical, our first time on the canyons and waking up here and taking a short walk was magical.

Beautiful area but small and sloping sites. Not much room to navigate backing. Site selection is critical

Nice facility. Wished we’d done some more scouting of the campsites. Not much shade. Enjoyed our visit.

Really enjoyed camping in Colorado National Monument around the Cedar and Pinon Pine trees and access from the campground to beautiful Window Rock Trail. Visitor Center is very close to the campground; could walk to it if you wanted to do so. Restrooms were very clean. Easy to maneuver into pull through Site 13, A, with our 28' motorhome although there is a small tree on the left. We were able to adjust our position to accommodate our one slide-out. It is a little unnerving driving through the tunnels from the park west entrance so 'hugged' the center line which was fine with our 11'3" height. Campground was quiet with nice space between sites; waste high grills - nice! Also hiked the Alcove Nature Trail from the Visitor Center - educational and fascinating! Both trails were good for seniors to hike.

What a gorgeous gem of a campground -- those sunset views! We needed a place to stop and camp on a roadtrip, and were grabbing coffee with a friend in Grand Junction, and she tipped us off to this spot. So so much better than parking the van somewhere in the city. Beautiful area and we saw 2 desert bighorn sheep on our drive down, early the next morning.

Great views and a very nice area. It was a little hot during the day when we were there (late July). The campsites are more designed for tent camping ( I had a 30ft RV) but was okay. I had to flip the RV around to get the door on the camp side. Most sites you park on are not very level. The water was on, and the restrooms are okay. Saw Bighorn Sheep which was cool and the Colorado River below in the valley.
