Overview

<p>Black Canyon Campground is one of the more popular campgrounds on the Santa Fe National Forest and offers the most amenities of any of the campgrounds in the Espanola Ranger District.&nbsp;Some sites are&nbsp;single- and double-family camping sites. Six are tent-camping only and visitors must park and travel to the campsite. A few are available on a first-come, first-serve&nbsp;basis. There are&nbsp;36 units for cars and RVs.</p><p>There are picnic tables and grills, a campground 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. Park outside the main gate and travel in if you are using the trail and not camping. Trailhead parking is available in the lot near the campground entrance. &nbsp;There is no electricity available, and no RV dump station on site.&nbsp;&nbsp;A dump station is available nearby&nbsp;for 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.</p><p><strong>Our facility is experiencing a temporary water outage. Please bring all the water you&rsquo;ll need for your visit, including drinking water.</strong></p>
