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.

This is a beautifully constructed campground, with well-separated sites. Jim Young, the campground host, was very friendly and helpful. The water isn't working right now, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

While it is a very pretty campground, it is not well run. We had a reservation for one night and the site was not as pictured and I had to do a lot of leveling to make it right. Okay, that's the way it is. I was hoping to get one of the first come first serve (FF) sites for the next night but all of them had signs on them where people were able to reserve them for many nights. There were tags on all of them. How is this FF. Some of them never showed up. The camp host was MIA. How do I know this? When I arrived, there was a note on the ground with a rock on top for him about an emergency. I knocked..no answer. Checked again later. Nothing. Next day, note still there and nothing. Toilets were very smelly. Do not count on the FF. I

Fire restrictions and lack of water kept this from being an amazing visit….

Very nice sites including nice flat tent pads. Wake up near multiple trailheads.

We loved the campground and our campsite #12
Other than not having water at the time it was great.

Our first time at Black Canyon campground and it was wonderful! Nice weather with a few cooling rain showers each day. Wildlife was abundant with hummingbirds and chipmunks. Saw a doe one day. Our campsite was very clean with asphalt driveway and graveled area for tent or gazebo setup. The campsite loop road is on an incline, however most of the campsites are pretty much level. Approximately 8 mi from Santa Fe shops and restaurants.

We had a lovely camping experience at Black Canyon National Park. The park host was great and helpful. We knew ahead of time there was no water in the park and were prepared. It was a beautiful place to stay. I
