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.

Nice campground, quiet and lovely, with pines and aspens. We were close to the main road, but even there, the traffic noise wasn't too bad. Good shade, and our solar still refreshed the battery with no trouble each day.

This is a lovely campground. My site was beautiful but also busier than most because it is next to hiking trail

Extremely rude host! I was at my campsite when she came up to me and was extrmely rude. I explained what I read on recreation.gov about arrivals and she said that it was not true. The campground has no internet or phone service so I was not able to verify what I knew I read was correct until I got home. After researching once again, the policy that she stated was on the web site is not and what I told her was. I also emailed recreation.gov to verify what I read. The Host needs to learn what the policy is on the time frame for a no show reservation The Host is not on site most of the time. The campground itself is pretty and quite. The road getting to the campground needs to have the bushes along the road trimmed seeing they hit the sides of your vehicle and the road is in bad shape along the edges.

One of my favorite parks. Very little road noise. Nice big paved sites with fire pits. I like the Black Canyon loop, but keeping going just a little further to a trail on the crest of the range. Great place to watch a sunrise or sunset.

Beautiful canyon - shady and collects the weather for cool and refreshing evenings. No cell phone service. Camp hosts are excellent and very kind.
