Black Canyon of the Gunnison South Rim Campground

The park was amazing just the site we had was down hill and tiny couldn’t get a good nights rest
I’m happy we got to stay thought beautiful park just need to look for a petter site 🙏🏼🇺🇸❤️

Black Canyon is a very nice National Park. There was a very good variety of trails and overlooks. The campsite was basic but very good. The vault toilets were clean. It was cold at night so we were glad to be able to build a fire and the firewood for sale at the end of the road (private individual) was excellent

Our site (B12) was right off the main park road so a bit loud with traffic. We would have preferred to have been located on the other side of the campground which would have put us off the campground road so far less traffic moving more slowly. Our site was also small but so were most. Otherwise, we truly enjoyed this campground. There are awesome birds including yellow warblers, spotted towhees, green-tailed towhees and black-headed grosbeaks all around. We got some stunning photos of them. Unfortunately, a fire went through this park about a month after we stayed and we don't know the condition of the campground although we have heard it was burned. When we were there, the bathroom facilities appeared new with overhead heaters that looked like they had just been installed. We loved having electricity on our campsite due to the hot, sunny days.

Site B012 on loop B; had electric which was very much appreciated given the day time temps. full campground but quiet. some shade. able to level the RV without too much difficulty.

We were evacuated in a calm, efficient manner that saved us and our property from damage.

Great site! Nice private space, and not too close to neighboring sites. Very close to trailhead for trail that goes to the visitor center.

We had reserved A27 and someone was set up there when we arrived. The camp host was great about moving us to C loop. The day after we arrived fire broke out in the park and we had to evacuate around noon. So sad for the park as it looked beautiful. Staff was excellent at notifying us that we had to pack up and leave immediately.

Decent campsite, though not tons of space. Walk down to canyon view was excellent.

Campsites were nice despite some having a strange layout, Facilities provided were clean and well stocked. Bear lockers provided at every site were clean and large enough to hold all of our supplies. Rim Rock trail was right next to our loop leading to the visitor center and Montrose was 20 minutes away when we did need to go into town. Short drive to all the south rim activities

Great experience overall - staff at the visitor center had very kind & practical advice about the Gunnison hike to the river. We were camping at the bottom of the canyon when the lightning strikes at ~3:30am early Thursday July 10th lit the north rim and south rim fires. The park began evacuations about 20 minutes after we climbed out Thursday late morning.
