Reviews
"Get here early or don't come at all. I've camped here many times and every time it fills up by 2 or 3 pm. Yet ALL NIGHT people keep driving through the loop looking for a spot. This is INCREDIBLY rude to the campers as people will drive though with the brights on, sometimes going around the loop several times. Don't do this! If its after dark find somewhere else to camp. This is not a hotel. Nobody wants your headlights pointed at their camp."
"The North Rim of the Black Canyon in Gunnison National Park is breathtaking. 13 sites available to those who get there first. Take the 2.5 mile hike out to Deadhorse Gulch. You won’t regret it."
"Arrived on a Sunday. Less than half the sites taken. Quiet. Clean, newer restrooms. Hikes were awesome. Easy access to wonderful viewsites."
"Off the beaten path, getting there is almost an adventure in itself. If you like hiking without the crowds the North Rim is for you. If you want to stay close to your vehicle take the scenic North Rim Road, this is about 5 miles long with a number of awesome viewpoints. Bring your camera!"
"The North Rim is a hike to get there, but worth it! We got there around 11am so that we could get a decent campsite since there are only 13 spots. (The South Rim was completely reserved.) We were rewarded with options. We took spot number 1 which was pretty spacious and private. You can take a short walk behind the site and have a great view of the canyon - we watched the sunset from the back of our site. The vault toilets are stinky - but it is a haul to get there to service them. There are also trash and recycling bins which we didn’t see at any other campgrounds on our weeklong trip. The campground also has water. The other sites don’t offer as much privacy - but then again, people are there to see the canyon. A short walk from camp is the “Chasm View Trail”."
