North Rim of Black Canyon National Park has re-opened. Hot showers and toilets! Tater's was voted a 2024 top runner up as 'Best Hipcamp in Colorado'. 35 acres of bliss shared with 2 humans, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 horses and 4 chickens [Eggs may be available upon request]. Black Canyon National Park is a short drive to the west. Conveniently located to Crawford and the North Fork Valley to wineries, music fests and local eateries. Incredible views and dark skies make the perfect respite for just hanging out, climbing in the Black, foodie time in the North Fork Valley or pretty much whatever you like to do. Hunters are welcome as this is a perfect base camp to Unit 63.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Tater's campsite offers a blend of stunning views and convenient amenities, making it a favorite among campers. The clean and well-maintained bathhouse is a standout feature, along with the spacious and private campsites. Stargazing and wildlife sightings add to the experience, although some campers noted the lack of shade and rough access roads. Overall, the friendly hosts and easy access to nearby attractions like Black Canyon of the Gunnison make it a worthwhile spot for camping enthusiasts.

I stayed at #3 and it was beautiful and comfortable. Nearby campsites are rather close, so you can expect to hear conversation and laughter. Not a big deal though, as other campers respected quiet hours. The bathrooms are excellent and make this campsite stand out! Thank you, Tater!!

This was such a wonderful spot to camp. We were at site 3 and it felt like we had the whole hillside with the gorgeous mountain view to ourselves. The bathrooms were such a bonus with such solitary camping.
