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.

We stayed in site 39. This is a very larger site over looking Fruita. Aside from there not being a larger amount of shade, we thought we had the best site due to the view.
There is a larger ant nest where people had previously pitched a tent but there is some flat space under small trees where the tent can go.

Beautiful views across the city and to the mountains beyond. Sites are well spaced out. Unlike way too many campgrounds they actually have full recycling facilities.

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

Too hot when weather in Fruita or Grand Junction is hot! There is little relief from heat at the few thousands of feet above the valley this campground is in. Very spartan. Little or no shade at most spots. The landscape is beautiful and Rim Rock Drive is spectacular!

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.
