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.

This campground should be closed because of the worm infestation at campground. They are literally falling by the hundreds from the trees above. Camp somewhere else not worth it .

A generally clean and well maintained campground. Men's bathroom on the back loop was 'temporarily' out-of-order on my most recent visit, still no water available on site but I bring my own. One of the quietest NF campgrounds I have had the opportunity to stay at, aways enjoy the camping experience there. Appreciated the higher altitude location of this campground with the above average temperatures in Santa Fe this early summer, will probably change my future visits to May to take advantage of the cooler weather.

This is a very short walk in campsite. Very nice tent pad area, lots of shade. Large picnic table and fire ring nearby. Observed Audubon's Warbler, Western Tanager, and Steller's Jay close up. Other campers claimed it to be the best birding in the Taos Area.

Bathrooms are clean and easily available. Sites are neat and picked up, good fire pits and walls in camp sites add to privacy. Good spacing between spots.

The sites at Black Canyon are well maintained, the facilities there are clean, and the area is beautiful. We have enjoyed every visit to Black Canyon that we have made in the past few years and look forward to returning for many more.
The camp hosts are very nice, thoughtful and make the experience all the more enjoyable.

Nice spot close to Santa Fe. Lots of trails in the area and lots of space between camp sites.
