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

Great view of the surrounding area, great sunset. Campsite is all on rocks so if sleeping in a tent bring a good mat or mattress.

Loved the facilities at Saddlehorn Campground! Clean bathrooms and well-kept sites. The area itself is gorgeous. The camp host was very helpful and friendly, too!

Booking at Recreation.gov is so easy. Loved the email reminders.

Beautiful campground with fantastic camp sites. We had a great site for my tent. There were a lot of awesome hiking trails very close to the campground.

Overall is good. But I don't like the powerline over our campsite. Also there is no tent pads at all.

Great park and so nice to be able to stay up top. Great sunset views were just steps away. Terry, the host was very helpful and always had a smile.

The Colorado National Monument and Saddlehorn campground exceeded our expectations! The campground restroom near us was immaculate, our loop was reasonably quiet and peaceful, and the geology of the Monument is stunningly beautiful. We couldn't really hike any of the trails since we had our dog with us (next time, though!), but even just driving the Rim Road was worth the visit.

Nice campsite. Sites are adequately sized for our 4 person tent. Somewhat close together but reasonably private. Not much shade but not surprising. C loop was larger groups of kids and young adults-good separation between them and loops A and B. Great access to water. Campground host was very proactive with regards to quiet and no generator hours. Good showers available @ Fruita community center.
