Black Canyon Campground (Santa Fe National Forest, NM)

This campground has turned into a dog park, many, many dogs, and a lot of walk through local dog traffic, and local hiking groups with multiple dogs walking through. Lots of dog refuse. Also dogs off leashes, dogs barking, dogs fighting, dogs barking all night. A lot of parks have a daily fee per animal, this might be a solution. Another solution is to cut a trail from the public parking to the trails that does not cut through the camping area.
Aside from the kennel issue: this park has NO WATER, the dump station at the State park is available for $10, but the ranger station is rarely open so bring a check and drop it in the box.

A cool place in the tall pines

Beautiful campground
Better if WiFi was available

The campground was amazing. In a close proximity to Santa Fe. Great hikes, right from the campground. Loved everything about it. We definitely will be back!

Odor in pit toilet was very strong but the room was clean. No running water but that was stated before hand. site was large and very well kept.

The campsites are so beautiful and the host was very nice. Parking spaces are a little weird and slightly difficult to park in the dark because you have to back in and leaving you have to turn around it's weird but the sites are great. We did walk all the way up to the back of the campsite to do the trail but the sign at the trail said to wear orange because of hunters. We had the first site so it was a long walk just to get there and neither of us had orange because you don't expect hunting so close to a campsite that was very disappointing.
