What others are saying about this campground
This campground is the perfect spot for a family camping experience. Located on the North Rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, the campground offers stunning views of the canyon and plenty of trout fishing. Sites are spaced out nicely with picnic tables, fire rings, and BearSaver boxes. The campground also offers vault toilets and potable water in the center of the camping loop. There is a short hike to the visitor center and around down a little ways into the canyon, and a wilderness permit is required to go further. The campground is conveniently located close to town and in the center of the park, and the park entry fee is waived in mid-July. The campground is a great spot for stargazing, and the amphitheater across the street offers ranger talks every night. Be aware of the yellow jackets during drought years, and remember to conserve water since it is a limited resource.
