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

Wonderful campground for up to 35 foot RVs. Several of the campsites have small parking pads and steep slopes, especially on the north side of Loop B. Good idea to look at Campsitephotos.com for reference.
The campground Host was one of the best we have known. He went out of his way to accommodate campers, especially for the ones who didn't have reservations.
Lots of hiking trails and interpretative areas with beautiful scenery.

Our original site (#38) was not suitable for a tent) so we moved to #61 on the C loop and it was great!

It's a good campground however there is a lot of light pollution. I don't recommend that anyone plan on taking any night photos at this location.
