    Just wanted to warn campers and fisherman to stay clear of the camp host. Very grumpy!

    Saddlehorn Campground

    If you are looking for a peaceful campsite, be mindful of the time of year you visit…read more This campground and area of Colorado are one of our favorite places to relax and vacation. Things have been changing over the last few years here. It was good to see they now have signs in different areas around campsites as where to walk, and where not to walk. They had a special program at the amphitheater on the Saturday that we were there, but they did not allow dogs, so I was unable to go. (I think different national parks and monuments handle this differently, as in Capitol Reef, in Utah, we have been invited to their night events when camping by the presenters themselves.) On recent trips, we have seen some strange things. But this past weekend (during an early and cool part of summer,) we were left stunned by some of the fellow campers. Originally, we booked on recreation.gov to camp for several days. When we arrived, we were able to move to the C section, which is no generators, and is generally more peaceful. Usually, most people are very respectful of other campers. There were young boys at the campsite next to ours who were very loudly discussing how they were killing ants with charcoal briquettes. Later, the father tells them to bury the briquettes in the dirt. The charcoal thing was a bit worrisome with the dry branches all around the campsites. Another night, at 3 AM, a young child is screaming and crying. A few minutes are understandable. This went on for over a half hour. While this campground and area will always be very special to me, camping in my own backyard in the suburbs is more peaceful than camping here during the summer.

    This campsite is super cute. We got there super later than expected so we couldn't enjoy too much…read more You can see so many stars it's beautiful. So glad they had a very clean bathroom with running water and flushing toilets. We came about midnight and I accidentally set my car alarm off, sorry to our neighbors lol, we made a little more noise on accident just cus it was really dark. Loved the camp site would def go again. Oh and be careful driving up at night very windy roads.

    I didn't have the highest expectations going into our trip to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National…read morePark. I didn't know too much about the park and was a bit disappointed that we had to nix the plans to do our large hike in the North Rim of the park. That being said, BCGNP far surpassed all expectations on just our very first overlook - Tomichi Point - within minutes of driving into the South Rim. I was not prepared for the sheer beauty of the canyons. The South Rim is so very different from the North Rim, so if you only have time to go to one, make sure to do your research. The South Rim is much more developed, more popular, has plenty of tiny hikes and overlooks, and brings the easy, classic beauty. The South Rim drive is an easy 7 miles and features 12 overlooks with the longest hike to the overlook being about 0.5 of a mile. And most of the hikes are more like walks. Stunning views, perfect for sunset. You'll also find the BCGNP visitor center on the South Rim drive. The North Rim is much more underdeveloped and less visited. We visited in the late afternoon and only ran into one other group of people while driving their scenic North Rim drive. I believe it's about 4.5 miles, and it is unpaved - that being said, we drove it in a Toyota Corolla without any issues. These overlooks are equally gorgeous but give you a different perspective of the canyon. You'll find a lot of the bigger hikes in the North Rim. While we weren't able to fit one into our schedule, we did do part of the North Vista Trail to see Exclamation Point - wonderful hike, wish we had been able to do the full trail. Overall, I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I visited Black Canyon of the Gunnison, but it definitely wasn't how breathtakingly beautiful this park is. 100% worth a stop, and if all you do is stop at their overlooks, you will still get to experience so much beauty.

    Beautiful national park that can accommodate hikers, climbers, and those who prefer to enjoy an…read moreoverlook instead. There are a couple dog friendly trails and the overlooks are all suitable for dogs on leashes. Support your national parks and park rangers!

    Grand Mesa Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests

    I am so happy that the government designated these areas to be a National Forest. I didn't have a…read morechance to go into Gunnison National Forest. Woah what a wild ride my trip was, where do I start. My friends and I had the idea to take a hiking trip in the Rockies, and I don't exaggerate that Uncompahgre is the best place to go. The other popular destinations like Estes Park get over crowded by hikers and tourists which in return drives up the prices fast. Well, Uncompahgre is free to go and you can even camp for free in the area for 14 days. My crew decided to tackle the most challenging hike we could find, Mt. Sneffles from the Blue Lake Trail Head. This monster of a hike is 14 total miles and over a mile of elevation gain. The trails starts with a lovely four mile trek through the forest at the bottom. You get to see the river pretty constantly and a waterfall at some point. At the top of the tree line are The Blue Lakes and they are absolutely gorgeous. Honestly a great hike to turn around at the third of three lakes. We however decided to continue and hike the ridge line. A solid 1000 foot elevation in around 1.5 miles, this is not for the faint of heart. An extremely rewarding view is waiting at the top of the ridge line. You stand at one of the first ridges and get to see peaks extending far off into the distance. The last 1000 foot elevation was insane. It was one of the hardest activities of my life. A solid mile of bouldering and actual climbing all while at elevations of 13,000 feet. If you make it, you will be 100% rewarded with the best views of your life. Great National Forest. I wish I live here cause it is so vast and unique there is new stuff to do everyday. Top place to go before you die. Add it to the list.

    This is not the national park. Please do your research on the address before you come here to camp,…read morehike or fish.
