What Guests Are Saying
The Black Canyon of the Gunnison South Rim Campground offers breathtaking views and a peaceful environment, making it a great spot for camping. Many reviewers praised the cleanliness of the facilities and the helpfulness of the camp host, as well as the accessibility of restrooms and water. However, recent wildfires have led to some sites being less than ideal, with limited shade and closeness of campsites, which affected some visitors' experiences. Overall, it remains a beautiful destination worth visiting despite the challenges.

Our site was very close to the other, sharing a driveway (which their RV took up the majority of the space) but besides that, the campground was very clean and in a beautiful location.

Site was not level. Very buggy. Many barking dogs.
I did like the deer walking through the campsite and the accessibility to the sites.

Clean and quiet. Sites can be small. Lots of RVs parked along road instead backed into sites.

We had issues when we arrived, there was another family who had their things in our reserved campsite. The campsite host and park ranger helped us solve the problem and were extremely nice. Would definitely recommend.
