Sites are generally pretty small. Our RV is just over 21 feet and the few bigger sites were taken when we arrived. We were able to squeeze into a roadside pull off type site. Anything bigger than 21...

Tips from campers about South Rim
- Susan Shaffer Take the time to drive down to the bottom of the canyon via the East Portal Road.1 month ago South Rim
- Smithfamilyramblers Hike the trail to the visitor center. For a shorter hike, go to the first viewpoint and start from there.6 months ago South Rim
- RVCamper2021 We used the very nice dump station in Fruita, at the Colorado Welcome Center before coming into the park. Hike the Rim Rock Trail from the campground to the visitors center. From there you can walk to Gunnison Point, hike Uplands Trail and Oak Flat Loop Trail. The scenic drive is nice and stop off at all the overlooks. Each view of the canyon is different. The end of the road is Warner Trail and it has good views too. We were there early June and it was hot.9 months ago South Rim

“Location, Location, Location”
Nightly Rate: $17 USD
Best location to camp if you're visiting Black Canyon Gunnison National Park. Campground loops are a bit tight to maneuver.....probably not the best for large rigs. We managed fine with a 26 foot...

“DON'T go if you rv is over 24ft and you want it scratched. ”
Nightly Rate: $34 USD
The roads at small and tight corners. The side of the road pull-thru sites limit the road to barely 8ft. There were pick up noses sticking out into the road. A big RV could not get through. The...
