Black Canyon Campground (Santa Fe National Forest, NM)

This is a beautiful and quiet campground with TONS of thick trees. The sites are manicured and well taken care of. The camp host didn't really interact, just waved. We saw a few posts complaining of no water, but we travel with water tanks so it isn't an issue for us. Overall we would visit again, really lovely and well kept!

I really like this staying here. The reason for the 3 stars is because the water has not worked for the last two summers, it's a problem with the main electric service, not the campground.

We were lucky enough to be camping the night of the astrology ranger talk! A group of local astronomers came with their telescopes and pointed out all kinds of things in the night sky! A truly unforgettable experience. Thank you!

Love Black Canyon. Hope water is fixed in 2020 as there was none in 2019. The lack of water is a deterrent for many campers. This could be solved by having buffalo tanks as some other campgrounds provide.Hosts did not maintain campsites as in previous years and restrooms were not cleaned daily.we camp @ Black Canyon
routinely throughout summer and have for past five years. However the last host in 2019 was not a friendly person and was a very aggressive individual. We heard this complaint from many of the other campers as well. We do have multiple reservations again this year and look forward to great camping as in the past. Finally, It is our hope that the state and the forest service will continue to work on having the "electricity" and water situation corrected in the near future.

Nice, quiet, campground. Very shady - had to move solar panels some - not really a problem. Close to Santa Fe. Has what may be the last pay phone in the US. I had to try it!

A beautiful campground with lovely sites. So happy to have discovered this gem so close in Santa Fe. A terrific experience (except for one barking dog that was not stopped, which shattered the late morning peace & quiet). Also, the restroom smelled really bad so I was very glad I didn't need it due to my completely self-contained camping style.
