We had the most excellent camp site. The hosts were great. Laid back atmosphere, right on the creek. The restrooms are the cleanest pits ever. One of our best trips ever including a perfect location to Durango, Ouray, and Telluride.

It was quiet, peaceful, beautiful, wonderful Dolores River sounds and off the radar for news, tv, telephone. I have been going there for at least 60 years and it never disappoints.
