Saddlehorn Campground

Wonderful campsite!! Very close to bathroom, which is heated and very clean, and water. We had good cell service and an amazing view, which was only a short walk away. We arrived at 6pm and wished we arrived early to enjoy the daytime view and trails a little longer. HIGHLY recommend this campsite.

Great views

Great campground with an excellent overlook view of Grand Junction!

Saddlehorn is excellent. Perched atop the mesa, there are incredible views out over fruita, easy access to the visitor center and short, beautiful hikes. We brought bikes and didn't have to use the car to get around. Our trip was mid October. Temperatures were perfect, and there were plenty of spaces left. There is not a ton of shade from the junipers, something to consider especially in summer. Not all sites are created equal. In the B loop, some are tiny, especially inside the loop, and don't have much or any tent pad. Parking for RVs is pretty slim as well. Bathrooms have sinks and flush toilets, quite the luxury. Drinking water was also really good.

The C-loop looks to have been updated recently, and the sites have built up and level tent pads, perfect for big 6-8 person tents. I wouldn't hesitate to grab a site in c-loop next time. They were actively working on a new amphitheater in Oct 2023.

Overall a great place to camp.

Beautiful campground. I always try to stay here on road trips from MN.

As tent campers, we were lucky enough to find a nice site in Loop C, which is much prettier, more spacious and quieter than Loops A or B.
As for exploring CO National Monument, while the top views along Rim Rock Drive are wonderful, we particularly enjoyed the hikes down into the canyons, especially Ute Canyon from the Rim Rock Drive trailhead, and Independence Monument from the lower trailhead off Hwy 340.

Beautiful Campground, camp host was very welcoming and helpful!

Always 5 stars

Great campground.
