Black Canyon Campground, Black Canyon City, AZ

It was nice to get done with the trail come back cool off in the pool. Take a hot shower and actually have toilets that flushed instead of port o John’s.  Looks like plenty of camping spots as well. Definitely will stay here again

The people here are very nice and helpful .  It is very quiet and the I 17 is about 5 min. away.  Black Canyon city is 3 min. away.  Small town and friendly people.

Great place with great views.. everything was clean and nobody came to us with any problems alrcen with extra curricular activities and loud screaming children. Kudos to them and booo to my loud kids lol

It was a crowded campsite but alright. No WiFi no local channels. Great hiking just a mile away. Great shopping about 15 minutes away.

Great camping. Great view. A bit difficult to install trailer. Need a very long electric cable.

Stayed here on the last night of trecking around AZ in a camper van.  Staff was very friendly and helpful when booking a spot (last minute might I add).  The bathrooms and showers were very clean and a welcome site after living in the forest for a week.  Sites were level and hook ups were perfect.  Would definitely stay here again next time passing through.

Booked the “Sleeping Pod” tiny house unit (double bed)… pretty nifty. Small, sure (tiny) but clean, cozy, and I slept well.

Wish the shower had a light as without one you must shower with the door open, and then water goes everywhere. Also having the TP exposed in the shower means it gets wet.

Will stay here again regardless, comfortable, and great after a day exploring in the hills.

Nice little RV park great for an inexpensive stay north of Phoenix (with or without an RV). Had a quick overnight stay in a cabin. The cabin was clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, and has a TV and good air conditioning. The bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area.

I let my husband pick somewhere for us to go and he picked this place. I was like wait no bathroom in the room. He crazy. I'm not an outside person. But I absolutely loved it. The cabin was so cute. The restroom and shower was clean. We sat on the swing like elder people 😆. It was nice seeing children outside playing. I didnt think they did that anymore 😆. It was so quiet at night. The people that lived and were visiting there were very friendly. We just left there. I definitely go back. Thank you

I just absolutely love it here. They have such a warm welcoming attitude here. It's well kept up and it's just beautiful. A lot better than that Shangri-La place in New River.

Black Canyon Campground has a lot of potential, but nobody cleans the restrooms and they've been in desperate need of attention for weeks now.

This could have easily been a 5 star review if I weren't so grossed out by the lack of care in their bathroom maintenance. Thats step one to running a campground, but nobody even seems to check on them here.

I had a great stay here, the location is excellent. I am in town scouting property for a development and this park was accommodating and easy to access.

Lovely campground, just stayed 2 nights. The new owners are a breath of fresh air and I could definitely see this place turning for the better with all of the work being done.
