We had a great experience here! Bathrooms were super clean along with the grounds. We were locked out of our camper, the whole camp grounds came to help along with owner Bob! Felt at home and didn’t have to worry. Great location for exploring. Definitely will return.

My partner and I just camped here while we visited Black Canyon NP and it was wonderful! Kind hosts, incredible views and very well maintained grounds and facilities. We cannot recommend this beautiful place enough to stay!!! It was truly a little slice of heaven in the mountains :) hope we can come back someday!

Black Canyon RV park and campground was awesome! Bob and Julie were super friendly, the sites were spaced nicely, grassy campsites, cute playhouse for kids, incredible views and extremely clean bathrooms and showers!! Loved our quick stay!

Bob and Julie run a very clean and secure RV campground. The view of the valley and mountains is lovely. The bathooms/showers and laundry were spotless. There is an electric gate with code to enter for security. Also, Bob was very helpful in pointing out other hikes within 5 miles that were fabulous.

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!
