Beautiful peaceful winter trip. Quiet clean campground. The Monument is absolutely breathtaking and I will return again and again.

Few suitable tent sites in many of the B loop campsites because of rocky, uneven terrain. Check first!

Lovely park with good hikes. The campground was in a good location for my trip. However, the campsite was the worst I have experienced. The picnic table and cooking grill were down a very rough path and were several hundred yards from the place my car was parked. The actual campsite was barely wide enough for my car and was directly on the side of the road. This offered no privacy whatsoever. There was no shade. The light from the bathroom across the road lit up my site all night. I did appreciate the clean, flush restrooms.
Excellent

We absolutely loved the park. The views from atop the mesa were wonderful. The hikes we took were great and the ranger who led us in a dark sky viewing event was wonderful-=she was also very helpful in guiding our hike choices the next morning.The only thing that didn't work out so well was that, not having seen the campsite we had reserved, we found it difficult to find a level place for our tent and a safe pathway to go to the restroom at night.

Campground had a lot of cool features leftover from the CCC and the cleanest bathrooms, however: there is a tent only loop but many of the sites don't have tent pads. The tables are not level and are made out of wood that will most definitely leave you with splinters. Sites are very dusty and dry, but if it rained would be total mud slicks. There were no ranger programs the weekend we visited.

This is a beautiful campground in a gorgeous park. The sites are spaced well and feel secluded. The only complaint would be that we were on ground so hard we couldnt put stakes into the ground. However, they are rebuilding some (all?) of the sites to remedy this situation. If your tent doesnt need stakes its a non-issue.One of the things I loved about this place was how clean and nice the restrooms were. I hope other visitors will help keep them that way.

I love this campground. Ive stayed here several times and my favorite spots are the ones along the outside so I can walk down and look over the canyons. The sites arent super crammed together so everyone has a little bit of space to spread out.

The sites are not super fancy but the view was amazing, the stars are fabulous, & the bathroom was clean & warm. Loved staying there!

Our site in Saddlehorn campground (loop B, site 43), and it appeared most (if not all) sites in loops A and B, did not have a dedicated location for a tent (i.e. a "tent pad"). We had to find the best spot considering trees, slope of the ground and drainage of rainfall runoff, distance from the parking spot, location if the picnic table (which was too far from the parking spot making the site more of what normally is termed a walk-in site), ect., and make-do. The website for Saddlehorn campground should advise people that loops A and B do not have dedicated tent pads and that users will need to locate tents as best they can.

Great campground, we stayed in site 43. The outer loop sites 37, 39, 42, 43, 49, 51 are adjacent to the cliff. Very nice not have any neighbors behind you and be able to venture out and watch the sunset, city lights, and sunrise. Maybe not ideal if you have small kids who like to wander off. Site 43 is not visible from the camp road , I passed it the first time. There is a parking spot and the picnic table and grill are several yards down a path and very private. Site is better for a smaller tent. My 6-person tent was a little too big and we ended up sleeping at a slant. 2 or 4 person tent would be ideal. In my opinion, 42 and 43 are the best campsites in the campground. Close to the bathroom but not close enough to hear the flushing toilet all night or have people constantly walking past your tent.

Windy roads with steep cliffs to get to the campsite but beautiful once you’re there! Feels very private and the bathrooms were well maintained.

Wonderful campground. Site 43 was extremely private and felt like you were alone on a canyon surrounded by trees and beautiful rocks. Facilities were modern and clean. Water and trash was easily accessible. Quiet, private, perfect place to enjoy nature.
