Site 3 - Tater's Black Canyon
New Favorite
After five nights at Tater’s we can absolutely say we found our new favorite Colorado camping spot.
Hosts 5/5
Traci was communicative and helpful, without being intrusive
Facilities 5/5
The sites are level, covered in wood chips, and far enough apart for reasonable privacy. The double bathhouse with showers is next-level nice for a campground facility
Cleanliness 5/5
The bathhouse, so clean – seriously, really nice
Views/Vibe 5/5
Overlooking the valley/reservoir at sunset is special: golden hour with the fall colors (mid-September), the mountains, Needle Rock, the cows lowing in the distance – again, really nice. The sites are terraced so each has a good view.
Access 5/5
For the canyon, it’s just a half hour to the north rim. For town access it’s a quick drive to Crawford for drinks at the Hitching Post, a reasonable drive to Hotchkiss for a range of restaurants and groceries, or to Paonia for the wineries.
We look forward to coming back next year!

Such a lovey campsite! I would 100% go back. Directions were very clear to campsite and the facilities were super clean and nice. Thank you!

Beautiful view and clean bath house! We missed Tater but will just have to come back again to see him!

The view at Taters is unbeatable! The sites were far enough apart that we couldn’t hear our neighbors and the bathhouse was great. We didn’t want to leave!

Mountain views!
We enjoyed our 1 night stay! Neighboring sites were close but they were quiet. Could hear road noise in the distance but it was fairly quiet. Breathtaking views of mountains!!! Short walk to finished bath house. Only thing we missed was a mirror in the bathrooms but they were clean and got the job done! Only 'complaint' was the road leading to the site was a bit rough for our low riding car. The drive way was much better but we went a mile at about 10 mph or less. As long as other campers are aware and have a vehicle that can make the road in we highly recommend this site for future campers. Verizon had no service. Google fi/ t mobile had limited service.
