Colorado Natl Mon/Saddlehorn

The campground itself was very nice. Bathrooms relatively clean. Spots were pretty flat and nice. The reason the campground gets 3 stars is because the people who go here are extremely rude and if you’re looking for a quiet time in nature, this is not the place. There was a group of middle aged men blasting music about getting high and drunk that you could hear from the nature trail and multiple loops over for hours. I talked to multiple campers and we all thought maybe the camp host would say something, but they did not. Many people were not following the quiet time restriction. Ended up leaving early because of how obnoxious people were, and saw others move their campsite as well.

Road to the campground is spectacular but a little scary. Camp spots are pretty close together, but the views from B loop are beautiful. Some traffic noise from the town WAY below. We were near a group of very rowdy kids. School trip? But once they were quiet the place was fairly peaceful. Bathrooms are clean!

This campground is definitely different from what we usually go to. It is at a beautiful height with a view of the valley and the surrounding scenery. The sites are quite close and the fire pits are only in prepared charcoal grill stands. However, I found it absolutely beautiful in the Colorado National Monument. The driveway is asphalt, no holes. It has flushing toilets, drinking water, and garbage disposal tables. Amazing hikes to the monuments.

This campground is definitely different from what I’m used to in the high Sierras of California. Spots are pretty close and fires aren’t allowed so no fire pits. However, I thought it was absolutely beautiful. I used it as an overnight stop on a cross-country roadtrip instead of getting a hotel. I have a whole setup in the back of my truck and site 28 was perfect for this. 28 is a longer, pull-through style drive that was pretty level and close to the restrooms.

These campgrounds are nice and have access to running water and restrooms. It is easy to make reservations online. If you do not have a park pass, I would recommend you make those reservations online as well. Also, some spots have more room for tents, so be choose wisely!

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.
