Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park Campgrounds are located in western Colorado. There are two campgrounds – one on each rim. There is also a campground at the bottom of the canyon called East Portal. Although accessed through the park, East Portal is within the boundary of Curecanti National Recreation Area. North Rim Campground is located approximately 16 miles southwest of Crawford, CO. All sites are shaded within a Pinyon-Juniper forest. South Rim Campground is located approximately 6 miles north of the intersection of CO Highway 347 and U.S. Highway 50 east of Montrose, CO. All sites are in an oak-brush forest. Pets on leash no longer than 6 feet are allowed in the campgrounds, in picnic areas, and parking lots, on paths to overlooks, and along roads currently open to vehicles. They are only permitted on the Rim Rock Trail and on the North Rim Chasm View Nature Trail. Pets are prohibited on all other hiking trails, inner canyon routes, within the wilderness, or on snowshoe/cross country skiing trails.
