Santa Fe National Forest Black Canyon campground By John Gentry
John Gentry with ExploreTraveler gives some details on exploring a specific campground in the Sante Fe National Forest. It’s one of those lower-cost campgrounds that is pretty nice, and worth staying at. If you have the access pass it’s then half price and will run you about $5 – $6 dollars per day.

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. There are 36 units for cars and RVs, 6 walk-in units for tent camping only, 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. If not staying in the campground, those using the trail should park outside the main gate and walk-in. Trailhead parking is available in the lot near the campground entrance. There is no electricity available, and no RV dump station on site. A dump station is available nearby 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.
Directions: Eight miles from downtown Santa Fe on NM 475. Take Bishop*s Lodge Road to Artist Road, which will turn into NM 475, also known as Hyde Park Road.
