The landscape here tells the story of Colorado's geological heritage, with weathered stone creating a backdrop that changes appearance throughout the day as sunlight shifts across the peaks.
The location offers something special for travelers seeking that perfect balance between accessibility and true wilderness immersion.

The public land designation means you're camping in spaces managed for public enjoyment and conservation. Wildlife viewing is common here, and patient observers might spot deer, elk, or various bird species native to the region.
The campground serves as an excellent base for experiencing authentic Colorado mountain culture. Nearby communities offer local dining, shops, and services when you need them, but the campground itself keeps you immersed in nature.

We had planned to stay inside Black Canyon National Park but had to switch campgrounds after the big fire this summer. Black Canyon RV Park has beautiful views of the Cimarron Mountains and is about 30 minutes away from the National Park. It's close to the highway so can be a bit noisy during the day. The restrooms and showers are very clean restrooms and the owners are very responsive and welcomi...

We tent camped here and the site was so nice! Soft grass that was well-kept, and a beautiful view of the valley below. The bathroom was kept fastidiously clean and there were laundry and showers onsite! Location-wise, it could be better.

The bathroom was kept fastidiously clean and there were laundry and showers onsite! Location-wise, it could be better. The campground is right off the road so you can hear traffic going by into the evening and night, which was a bummer; the view was slightly less meaningful when listening to the sound of tractor trailers barreling bye. That said, I would stay here again.

We stayed here two nights in Sep, 2025. The grounds were extremely clean and well cared for. The staff was friendly and helpful. Basically, everything you would want in an RV campground. I can't vouch for the cabins but from the outside they looked great too. We would highly recommend.

Owner, Julie is rude. We have always drove past this place and wanted to stay. We finally got the opportunity to stop and it was fairly evident she wasn't interested in potential new clients. All we wanted to do was look and see if our rig would fit. Beautiful views but not that good to put up with a angry, unprofessional owner. Go to Montrose or Gunnison!

Very nice joint! As a tent camper I was hooked up! Being the only ones in tents we had about 2-3 acres to ourselves. The RV sites were well built and plenty of room. Not like some of those filing cabinets I see from the roads And the views, well, just fantastic! Would go back again and again.
