Black Canyon Campground offers a beautiful, well-maintained environment with clean facilities and friendly hosts, making it a favorite among visitors. Many enjoyed the peaceful setting, abundant wildlife, and proximity to Santa Fe, with ample hiking opportunities. However, the lack of water access and some maintenance issues have been noted as drawbacks.

We love this campground. The host, this summer of 2021 is a very nice host. Having a great host make us feel comfortable during our stay. There are many hiking trails very close to the campground. The Black Canyon head trail, starts right on the campground and it is a nice and sweet trail. We just enjoy leaving the city and enjoy nature for a weekend.

We had a great time camping with two RVs at Site 23 in July of 2021. This campground is small and fairly quiet, and the friendly hosts keep the vault toilets and dumpsters in good shape. My only warning is that you do not bring bigger rigs into this tiny park. The roads are twisty, and the USFS has put concrete wheel blocks into the sites so you cannot use every inch of the site. We saw several larger Class A's and Fifth Wheelers try and fail to get parked.
Also, you are boondocking here with no electricity and no water. Don't count on your solar panels because the trees are tall and you will be in shadow most of the days even when it's sunny. If you need to run a CPAP at night, you may need to charge up your battery pack with a generator before "quiet time" (which is 10 pm in this park).

Very nice forest service campground not far from Santa Fe. The sites are large with plenty of privacy. Not sure why no potable water was available - so bring water with you. Only negative is no phone service but they do have a public phone if needed.

Campsite was a great size and beautiful area. Bathroom was close to #12 and enjoyed the convenience but not the smell. Firewood was easy to by in town at Whole Foods. Next time we would stay longer.
