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.

Great experience at Saddlehorn. Campground is clean and well maintained. Host is on top of things and very friendly. We love this spot. No need to advertise, it’s plenty popular

Saddleback campground is beautiful, historical and classy, the location and views cannot be beat. However there are some drawbacks. The dreaded RV generators really distract from the quietude of nature (can be on constantly from 8am-8pm) as well as the almost constant car door slams and neighbor conversations (the sites are pretty close together.) The recently redid the bathroom and the toilet flushes are VERY loud and can be heard in nearby campsites (they woke me up at night - another reason to wear ear plugs.) And who wants to hear that sound all day long anyway? Plus in a desert environment where water is scarce they seemed to use a lot. Some quiet, clean composting toilets would be much more appropriate. I truly hope the park service reduces all kinds of noise pollution so nature lovers can truly appreciate the place. Quiet is an endangered resource everywhere and industrial tourism completely distracts from an authentic experience in nature.

Campground high above the valley floor. Nice views from some Sites. Sites small and relatively close together but well kept. Bathrooms excellent, very clean with flushing toilets and hot water. Spigots outside bathrooms for potable water. Close to the Visitors Center (walking distance) and easy access for all hikes in the Park. Some RV/Trailer sites are pull-through but be aware some of these sites are very tight. Host was nice and extremely helpful. Our Site was small Trailer site right next to the Host. If you don't want to drive up/down everyday, this is the place to stay.

Our site 22 was perfect for our 35’ fifth wheel and it was fairly level. The host at the campground is a great guy and very helpful. The location is close to explore Colorado National Monument. Most of the sites will not accommodate big rigs so make sure check.
