Beautiful, quiet and dark - just what the doctor ordered.

Small but level site. Great ranger program.

Nice fairly private campsite surrounded by trees, campground seemed great overall. Had deer walk through our campsite a couple times, plus a variety of birds

A30 camping spot rocks. Plenty of space for a large tent and several small tents. Grill was away from the road so thats a plus. Water was limited but I knew about the water leak between B & C which shouldve been fixed by now.

We enjoyed our camping visit and thought the campground was adequate. The nightly ranger shows were quite informative and fun. The only supply missing was not being able to buy ice at the visitor center but of having to drive into the nearest town. Montrose has a nice community center where showers can be bought and an excellent western history museum.

Our site had nice privacy, a view of the stars, plenty of space for our tent, and was near enough to the bathrooms and to the water spout. All in all this was a great national park campground experience.

Our camp host was super friendly and knowledgeable. The site was clean and was very conveniently located. We had a great trip!! I want to note two things. There are two bathrooms for loop A which was not a problem and the spot we were in did not have much shade as the listing says. I am sure this is dependent on the time of the year. We will definitely be visiting again!

Ranger programs in the campground were great! Site and restrooms were clean. We had shade and plenty of room for our tent and stargazing!

loved the National Park. Campground bathrooms need some improvement

Torrential rain flooded the campground and our site (A-30) was a muddy mess, with no place to put a tent that wasn't in mud. This loop also has only one pit toilet (men/women) for entire loop. Not good for tent campers. Even without rain, this would not have been a good tent site - no grass and not a level spot. The Canyon was worth visiting, but wish we'd stayed elsewhere.

We had issues when we arrived, there was another family who had their things in our reserved campsite. The campsite host and park ranger helped us solve the problem and were extremely nice. Would definitely recommend.

Incredible spot. Perfectly maintained campgrounds. What more can I say.

The campground was great and was well spaced out from other campsites (we got one on the outer edge of the loop). It was also close to amenities like water and bathrooms, and was conveniently close to the main roads through the south rim of the park. Campground had an abundance of trees and shrubs around it so it felt like you had some privacy at your own spot. It was also great to go in the summertime, as the amphitheater near the campground hosted a star party while we were there. Since it was a new moon (and since Black Canyon is a certified dark sky park), the stargazing was some of the most amazing I have ever seen in my life. Highly recommend planning your trip to the South Rim campground and seeing what the moon patterns are. Plan to go when you can see a seemingly infinite amount of stars and you will not be disappointed.

Great location. Primitive toilets but to be expected.
