We loved our stay at the South Rim Campground. It was the perfect spot to explore the national park and take in its stunning views. The drive down towards the East Portal Campground was amazing and...

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.
  • Smithfamilyramblers Hike the trail to the visitor center. For a shorter hike, go to the first viewpoint and start from there.
  • 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.

We used loop A, no hookups. Loop B has electricity for $34. It's a little tricky finding a site big enough and level, most of the good ones were already taken. Nice place to camp, fire rings and...

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...

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...
