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.

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.

The campground was fantastic. It was well maintained by the hosts and was always clean. Spots were level and large.

Peaceful and beautiful. Can’t wait to visit again. Tip: make sure your tanks are filled with water before entering!
