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.

The facilities are very nice and the campground host (Patricia) was terrific. There are trails nearby to hike but you are not far from the convenience of Santa Fe. There was plenty of room for parking and the individual campsites were well situated.

Horrible hosts. Don't keep track of guests and question your reservation. Also someone parked in my spot in my second reservation and when I tried to get the attention of the hosts, they didn't respond, so I didn't even get to stay at the campsite. A total waste of money.

Overall, Black Canyon is a very beautiful park. The hiking trails are easy to follow and are clean and the views are amazing. My only major feedback is with regard to the restrooms/latrines. I was at the park for 4 days and I don't believe they were cleaned even once. There was no an attempt to sanitize or help with the smell that would spread across the entire campsite in the afternoon to the point we'd have to leave during the day - note I stayed in spot #20 - which is very close. I completely understand these are latrines so there's an expectation there will be a smell. However, I went to a state park in Colorado directly after staying at Black Canyon and the cleanliness of their latrines vs Black Canyon was astounding. Everything had been scrubbed clean and was twice a day and we never once smelled the latrines. Other than that, we did really enjoy our time at Black Canyon. I would encourage folks to visit - just don't reserve a spot near the latrines. I would allow at least two campsites between yourself and the closest latrine.

The camp itself is lovely. Many of the sites are really small—no place for your vehicle after unhooking.
