Black Canyon Campground (Santa Fe National Forest, NM)

Nice secluded site. Really clean bathrooms.

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

The campsite was beautiful, clean, and peaceful. Jim was a great host!

Beautiful campsite, spaces well dispersed.

Really enjoyed it with my family of 7. Wilderness but close enough to town that we used it instead of hotels!
Would be nice if the water was working but we made do

Pro tip- camp away from the toilets. Convenient to be close, but may smell it if downwind

They have done a lot of forest work around the campground and taken down some of the large trees that provide shade on the sites. Perhaps they were diseased? Clean as always. Some day there will be water! Plan ahead and bring what you need.
Still one of my favorite campgrounds. Always clean, including the pit toilets and easy access to town.

The campsite was beautiful and it was wonderful having a trailhead at the top of the campground. It was also fantastic being so close to town, so we could enjoy all that the Santa Fe area has to offer. However, it seemed like the campground in general isn't maintained very well or very regularly -- there were multiple dated signs that appeared to be at least three years out of date, the water spigots had clearly not been working for a while despite having signs on them saying that the issue was being addressed, and there was an overall feeling of neglect. That being said, the beauty of the site and the proximity to town made up for all of that and I would definitely camp here again.

Nice, clean campsite, definitely helped to get out of the heat. However, the toilets needed to be cleaned. We understand that pumping out the latrines happens in a timely manner, but the actual seat needs to be regularly cleaned. Ghastly!
Overall we would do this campsite again because it the site itself was clean and easy to get to, lovely surroundings but please consider cleaning more.
