What Guests Are Saying
Black Canyon Campground is praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and beautiful surroundings, making it a favored spot for campers. The spacious sites, friendly camp hosts, and proximity to hiking trails and Santa Fe enhance the overall experience. However, the lack of water has been a consistent issue, and some visitors have reported problems with caterpillar infestations and site accessibility.

Everything about our stay was so enjoyable. The site is perfect, beautiful and quiet. The landscaping, fire pit and table are all just what we needed for a weekend getaway.
The hosts, Debra and Rick were so friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to go back.

This is a small but lovely campground, 15 minutes east of Santa Fe. The sites i stayed in were very clean and wooded. Highly recommended!

This was a great 1st experience for us!
Perfect time to go with the fall colors coming in. The campsites are very clean.
Plenty of space to spread out. We brought our overland trailer camped for a few nights. The area felt safe no one bothered anyone..the campsites have alot of distance between each site and you have quite a bit of privacy. The amenities were to be expected. We have our own setup for ease of use..so cannot comment on that. Did see some spigots by the vault toilets looks like they have water. Ez road to get into the camp. Never saw the camp host..? There is hiking and biking in that area..further north is a trail system further south about 10 miles is Santa Fe. Will be back for sure.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
