There is a very nice hiking trail that leaves the back of the campground and makes a loop of about a mile, returning to the campground. If not staying in the campground, those using the trail should park outside the main gate and walk in. Trailhead parking is available in the lot near the campground entrance.

There is no electricity available, and no RV dumpstation, but a dumpstation is available for a nominal fee right next door at Hyde Memorial State Park, a part of the NM State Park system.

There are additional recreation opportunities along NM 475, both above and below Black Canyon Campground, including hiking and biking trails, picnic areas, and in the winter both nordic and alpine skiing.
