This is such a great campground. We visited with two kids (6 and 1) in December (with an RV, naturally). Wasn't too cold! Stunning views, squeaky clean restrooms, even when considering we were the only ones around. Highly recommended winter camping, as long as you can keep warm at night.

Saddlehorn Campground at Colorado National Monument is an absolute gem! The campsites are incredibly well-maintained and thoughtfully spaced apart, giving you privacy and a peaceful atmosphere. The bathrooms are spotless, which is a huge plus when camping. I stayed at Lot 47B, and I have to say, it offers the best view of Fruita Canyon—you wake up to stunning scenery right outside your tent. The entire campground is quiet and serene, making it perfect for a relaxing outdoor escape. If you're camping anywhere near the area, this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful campground! We had no problem getting a site on a weekend in late September. Some sites are a bit small, but ours was quite large. Bathrooms were the best we’ve ever experienced in a National Park (newly renovated). The Visitor Center and two amazing canyon overlooks are a close walk away. Ideally suited for tent campers, vans or small RVs.

GREAT camping experience! The bathrooms were the best I’ve ever used in any campground! The camp host was nice. Everyone followed the quiet hours and was a peaceful experience. The sites had amazing views and the tent pads and grills were nicely maintained and flat. The weather was perfect this time of year. We stayed in loop A.

We booked on a whim unsure of what to expect. We’re headed to Utah but couldn’t find camping anywhere in arches. When we arrived we were awestruck. This is a gorgeous campground tucked atop the cliffs, a gorgeous snake winding road with phenomenal views leading up the top. Even more astounding views at the top. We tented in loop B. Found it difficult to find level ground & the earth was very soft for the pegs. There was a washroom that is heated which is clean and lovely. Central location. It was easy to find the spot and back into. Unfortunately we were stuck in a massive windstorm and it snowed through the night, we needed to re secure the tent many times so we didn’t get much of a good rest. This would be a great place to come for camping and if we had better weather and were better prepared we’d have stayed in a heart beat. We got an airbnb instead and came back to do the hikes and enjoy the scenery.
