South Rim Campground

South Rim Campground offers year-round camping within Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park with 75 sites across three loops, featuring vault toilets, fire rings, and bear boxes; Loop B provides electric hookups ($34/night) while other sites cost $20/night.

Water is available mid-May through mid-October only, and the high elevation (8,200 feet) means no water or sewer hookups are available.

The campground provides convenient access to hiking trails and rim viewpoints, though cell service is unreliable and reservations through recreation. gov are essential during peak season.
