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.

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.

Vaulted toilets are the only drawback here. Grounds are fantastic and the sites are awesome. Site 11 would only work for a tent camper and that wasn’t clear on the site so glad we didn’t come with the trailer for this trip. Overall a place we would certainly come back to. The area around in the forrest is Absolutely beautiful with many available trails for all ages.

One of the best USFS campgrounds we have ever visited. Well located and maintained.
