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.

Beautiful well kept campground with great views of the valley. Bathrooms were clean and functional. Our site was certainly not flat and took more time in setup, but it worked.

We had a great time even with the lousy weather over the weekend. First time in 32B and it was one of the better sites we've been in at Saddle Horn. Headed back this coming weekend to try 6A. First time in the A loop.

The ability to gain firewood needs to be handled at the visitor center as well as through campground hosts due to limited cell phone ranges and the presumption that a scan and pay system is easily accurate. When the hosts are away it is important to have a backup plan for colder days while they are gone
