Lovely campground! We were able to check in early and tour the area. Our site faced the mountains leaving us feel the forest was ours! Camp host was super friendly.

Camp Host, Mike, was very helpful and welcoming. The grounds were all in good order. This place is a hidden gem and a great base station for us while touring the nearby scenic activities... quick drive to Pagosa Springs, Treasure Falls and Chimney Rock right across the way. Highway road noise was minimal and did not disturb us during evening hours. Would stay there again!

No cellular (AT&T) as expected. Camp host was very helpful in getting us situated in a campsite that better matched our needs than the one we'd reserved. Great spot in the woods -- very little exposure for solar. No-See-Ums in June; bring repellent.

The Ute Campground is well kept. The camp host was helpful with information regarding an upcoming rainstorm. He kept campers informed. We will camp there again.

Great little campground. Mature trees with plenty of shade. Spaced out with plenty of privacy.

Heavily wooded, relatively quiet considering its proximity to the highway, literally across the road from Chimney Rock NM. There's a separate tent camp; didn't notice it on the website since there's not a map.
