What Guests Are Saying

Black Canyon Campground is praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and beautiful surroundings, making it a favored spot for campers. The spacious sites, friendly camp hosts, and proximity to hiking trails and Santa Fe enhance the overall experience. However, the lack of water has been a consistent issue, and some visitors have reported problems with caterpillar infestations and site accessibility.

The Camp host seem to do nothing but collect money and check on status of campsites. They don’t clean a fire pits and they don’t clean the campsite and they don’t clean the restrooms.

Wonderfull experience as usual! Ive been coming here for years. I was concerned about getting a space because the campsites were filled in advance, but the camp host did a great job in helping me find a site.

A beautiful campground. We absolutely loved the rock work at all the campsites. The person running the campground is doing a top notch job. It was also very nice to have the trails right out of the campground. A real winner of a campground.

Everything about our stay was so enjoyable. The site is perfect, beautiful and quiet. The landscaping, fire pit and table are all just what we needed for a weekend getaway.
The hosts, Debra and Rick were so friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to go back.

This is a small but lovely campground, 15 minutes east of Santa Fe. The sites i stayed in were very clean and wooded. Highly recommended!

This was a great 1st experience for us!
Perfect time to go with the fall colors coming in. The campsites are very clean.
Plenty of space to spread out. We brought our overland trailer camped for a few nights. The area felt safe no one bothered anyone..the campsites have alot of distance between each site and you have quite a bit of privacy. The amenities were to be expected. We have our own setup for ease of use..so cannot comment on that. Did see some spigots by the vault toilets looks like they have water. Ez road to get into the camp. Never saw the camp host..? There is hiking and biking in that area..further north is a trail system further south about 10 miles is Santa Fe. Will be back for sure.

This is a small but beautiful campground 10 miles up the mountain from Santa Fe, NM. The campground sites are spacious, bathrooms spotless, and hiking trails right out of the campground.
