Black Canyon of the Gunnison South Rim Campground

Site A31 has decent shade on hot days. Be aware that the site next to it A29 does not show up on the map on Rec app. But it is there and their tent site is literally five feet from the picnic table on Site 31. A little too close. If you have a tent need on A31 there really isn’t a good spot for it and it better be a small tent.

Campground is all about location. Good spot to spend the night especially if you want to stay for sunset in the park or star gazing. Due to last summers fire few sites are open and most of those that are have little screening. Our site shared a driveway. Odd though worked out fine. Very basic campground.

The site is not very level. Good shade for some of it, but LOTS of leveling blocks or jacks are needed.
Easy access to toilets and water bottle refill spot.

We were aware that there was a fire in the campground recently. But we were not informed that we would be put in a campground for tents. We registered as a trailer and gave the length. Burnt trees were not even trimmed back and we ended up with damage to our RV. The camp host was excellent and we enjoyed her information very much. The restrooms were very clean.
The canyon was breathtaking.
We feel we should have been informed about the camping problems

The lower review was just because nearly the whole area was taped off from recent fire damage. But the area was good with vault toilets.

I was grateful to have gotten one of the few campsites available in the park. The site was nice. It was just a week of 90+ degree temperatures, and there was no shade relief because of last year's wildfires. Due to flooding, the East Portal road was closed, so we weren't able to descend to cool off along the river. None of this is the park's fault, but it did impact our experience

You should let people know before they book a campsite that the entire area was burned down and there is no shade. You should also let people know that all of the trails were washed out during a mudslide. I really appreciate everything you all do that was pretty much the worst trip I’ve ever had.

It was an Amazing experience. We enjoyed our camping and visit to the park. It is one of the best places to visit. What a beautiful view…. Just awesome.

The pull in space was a tough fit for an 18 ft van, but bathrooms were decent and there was good cell reception.

The campground was fine but we reserved a camper van spot and it was not made for anything but a tent. You could not drive into the spot like you could literally all the other spots. Our only option was to pull over on the side of the campsite road next to our spot (half in the road because even the parking is tight) to stay so we had to leave and find another campsite. We went to the entrance station at 4:45 p.m. The sign said they closed at 5 but the person inside (still inside, we could see them) had already pulled all the shades and wouldn't not respond. So we were just out the money. No way to contact anyone. No way to ask for a refund or ask for a different spot. Super disappointed.
