Tater&#x27;s Black Canyon Campground

Lovely stay! Beautiful view. Quiet. Bathhouse terrific. Only sad that Tater didn’t visit. 😹. Highly recommend.

Tater’s

15 ft pop-up camper ·

We enjoyed our 2 night stay at Tater’s. Chris is a helpful and friendly host and we enjoyed chatting with him and meeting Tater, Sugi and Otis. The view of the nearby mountains was amazing, especially at sunset and the dark sky allowed for wonderful stargazing. The bathhouse with showers was a short walk from the campsite and it is kept clean. We had everything we needed for a relaxing visit while exploring the north rim of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.

A Peaceful Place

Tent ·

This was a great site! I was worried about being on the north rim of Black Canyon because the “main” stuff is on the south rim but IT WAS SO GREAT! We did the south rim the day before and hit the North Rim morning after (views are 10x better!!) Definitely recommend Tater’s campground, so clean, so comfortable, so serene. Star gazing, stunning views, seclusion, and sweet pets 🩵 Traci + Chris have done a wonderful job.

We had the place to ourselves, and it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The owners were so warm and welcoming, and the showers were absolutely incredible; after a few days on the road camping, they felt like such a treat! They were warm, clean, and exactly what we needed. Having such beautiful amenities really made the stay extra special. Highly recommend!

The host was very nice and gave us the lay of the land. Bathhouse was very clean and well kept. We were the only people at the site and it was beautiful and quiet. We 100% recommend waking up for the sunrise. We felt very safe. Overall it was an excellent place to camp.

Site 1 at Tater’s place

16 ft car ·

We stayed at Site 1 which was perfect for our van w/rooftop tent setup. It felt private despite all 4 sites being occupied. Nicely sheltered with flat gravel pad and picnic table. Checking in and finding our site was a breeze and communication with our hosts was timely. The views are amazing over the valley, nearby reservoir and Needle Rock in the distance. The bath house was a really nice amenity. Super clean and spacious. Having the option to grab a shower was a bonus, especially after a day of exploring the North Rim of the Black Canyon a short drive just past Tater’s. We met Chris and he gave us lots of great information about the general area and Black Canyon specifically, as well as where we were headed to next. All in all a great experience and would highly recommend.

Excellent site. Excellent showers.

Tent ·

An excellent experience. Well maintained and the nicest camp shower/bathroom I have ever used. Site 4 is secluded from all but one other pad. It is probably tent only and 2 guests but it is tucked away if you want something intimate. The owners are friendly and helpful. I enjoyed chatting with them. I would definitely return. Also, the views are stunning.

Site 3

Tent ·

Camped at site 3 for five nights. Bathrooms/showers were clean with hot water. The views were amazing. We had the whole camp to ourselves for three nights and it was paradise. Great base camp location for mountain biking day trips. We traveled to Crested Butte via Kebler Pass, Black Canyon, hiked Needle Rock and visited Gunnison. Do bring your own hand soap and a portable mirror for the bathroom. There's a family dollar store in Hodgkiss that carries essentials in case you forget something. It gets windy and cool at night, so don't forget a throw blanket. Crawford State Park is in your view, Hwy 92 is nearby and sound travels well. The sunrises are AMAZING! We had a great stay and would definitely stay again. Didn't meet Tater, but we did get the chance to pet their precious border collie mix.

Love this site!

Traci and Chris’s campsite is beautiful! Our spot (site 3) was perfectly level. The bathrooms were very clean. The view was stunning! We had vehicle issues and had to miss our first night at the campsite but they were kind enough to offer to let us stay another night. Would love to camp here again!

Such a beautiful view of the valley from Tater's camp!! We were only 20 min away from the north rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and only 5 from a day use area at Crawford State Park. We also checked out a nearby winery in Paonia and the cherry days over 4th of July. Having a clean bathroom with a hot shower was wonderful after all of the activities! Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your wonderful views! We'll be back!

We had such a great time at Tater’s! Directions were easy to follow and we had amazing views from site 2, as well as nice picnic table. We set up our tent and drove down to the west reservoir entrance and went paddle boarding for a couple hours before coming back for the night. Such beautiful night skies, we will absolutely be coming back!

Nice camping spot overlooking Crawford State Reservoir with lots of deer. Lots to explore in the area including the Black Canyon and striking landscapes. The shower house and restrooms are a great feature of the site.

This was our favorite campsite of our Colorado trip! The view was beautiful and the site was secluded and serene. The new bathhouse was great with flush toilets and a nice shower with hot water. The perfect place to stay after visiting the north rim of Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP.

Great campsite to base out of. Traci and Chris were wonderful hosts and great to chat with. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well kept. The sites felt well spaced. The instructions to get there were clear. They noted having solid stakes due to some rocky ground conditions. Traci and Chris clearly put effort into providing in an accurate description. I couldn't ask for more for a car camping site. If I'm ever looking for a site in the area, I'd certainly come back here.

We would definitely return to this campsite. Everything was clearly labeled and easy to access. The bathroom was clean and perfect for what we needed. Good view across the lake, though some sound from the campers does make its way up the hill. Each of the three campsites had a table and even though we could see other campers, we felt secluded and weren’t on top of one another. The only disappointment was that we didn’t get to meet the infamous Tater! Highly recommend.
