Black Canyon Campground (Santa Fe National Forest, NM)

The campsite was great! We were closer to the road but the sounds died down after 11 pm. The campsite was clean, easy to find, and well spaced apart from other sites. The restrooms were okay, but a bummer not having water to wash hands (not a big deal since we had our own water). The only issue I had was seeing that someone pooped in the woods near the campsite and left it under a rock. :( Restrooms were a 30 second walk away! People suck. HA.

We love Black Canyon and have stayed there many times before. This time we found the restrooms located close to site #23 terrible stinky! We had to 'hold our breath' while using them. We are campers and use 'outside toliets' often, but these toilets were bad.

Water at this camp site has been unavailable for the last couple of years; hopefully, a new water pump is in the budget for 2021.

When we arrived, there was no water at the campground. It was late, and we had to drive back into town to find water. This was extremely inconvenient with two small children. It would be nice if recreation.gov could email us ahead of time and let us know that there is no water to be had at the campground.

Have camped here before and loved it! This trip, no water at the pumps with no explanation why other than it’s been out all summer. Camp host was not friendly nor helpful. Electric was out as well which meant more generators than normal from the RV crowd. Sites were still nice, clean, and roomy. Vault toilet was clean. A great wooded site and still a good pick for camping close to Santa Fe.

Sites are beautiful. Trash bins are full, camp host wears no mask in keeping with state mandate and is off duty most days. Sites are not correctly marked for reservations and many campers are turned away as a result. Very, very disappointing for such a beautiful campground.

The campsites are large and surrounded by trees. Even on the 4th of July, it was quiet in the campground. There was no potable water available at the campground and we had difficulty finding water nearby. Make sure to bring in enough water for your stay.
