Camping
Just over 100 campsites in the park give you access to much of the rugged beauty of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.
Plan Around Camping
A good stop is not just something to read about. Once it belongs on the day, move into a saved trip and build the route around it.
Use this detail page to confirm that the stop is worth it, then carry that decision into a trip draft while the park context is still fresh.
Camping Details
There are two campgrounds within Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, and one on East Portal Road just outside park boundaries in the Curecanti National Recreation Area. South Rim Campground is the only reservable campground of the three, and the only one open year-round. Counting backcountry sites, there are 101 campsites in the park, consisting of RV, tent, and primitive sites; an additional 15 primitive sites are available at East Portal Campground. Sites at established campgrounds are $16 per night, with the exception of Loop B of South Rim Campground, where sites have electric hookups and are $22 per night. Backcountry camping is free.
