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.

Our site was beautifully situated amongst the trees, however the bathroom was filthy - the worst I've ever experienced in a campground - and it remained uncleaned for our entire four-day stay with the same trash and puddle of urine on the floor. Terrible!

Great forest service campground only about 25 minutes from Santa Fe Plaza. Large & shaded sites. Know that it is DRY, no water at all. Generator hours 8 am - 10 pm.

Still no water and that’s a hassle. Neat clean campground close to Santa Fe with excellent hosts. We’ll be back soon.

Frequent generator use by host was a bit irritating. Also , a dump station is needed. Beautiful campground.

Gorgeous camp ground. Ample space between sites, super quiet atmosphere, great tent pads and fire rings. So close to Sante Fe and was a great location to sleep following tours of Bandelier NM, Pecos NHP, and Fort Union NHP. Could not ask for a better experience.
