About this campground

Black Canyon Campgroud offers single and double-family sites. Some sites are designated as walk-to sites for tent camping only. A few are available on a first-come, first-served basis. This is one of the more popular campgrounds on the Santa Fe National Forest and offers the most ameneties of any of the campgrounds in the Espanola Ranger District. There are 36 units for cars and RVs, 6 walk-in units for tent camping only, Picnic tables and grills, aCampground host on-site, Vaulted toilets, and several double sites to accommodate a maximum of 16 people. There is a very nice hiking trail that leaves the back of the campground and makes a loop of about a mile, returning to the campground. If not staying in the campground, those using the trail should park outside the main gate and walk in. Trailhead parking is available in the lot near the campground entrance. There is no electricity available, and no RV dumpstation on site.A dumpstation is available nearbyfor a nominal fee right next door at Hyde Memorial State Park, a part of the NM State Park system. There are additional recreation opportunities along NM 475, both above and below Black Canyon Campground, including hiking and biking trails, picnic areas, and in the winter, both nordic and alpine skiing.Our facility is experiencing a temporary water outage. Please bring all the water you’ll need for your visit, including drinking water.
