The West Dolores Campground is small, quaint and lovely! Blaine, the campground host was accommodating, friendly and a hard worker. He mowed and trimmed around the campground as well as was very aware of people who drove into the area. He also keeps the restrooms well stocked and clean!

Campsite host was great - friendly. Campground was quiet. Toilets were cleanest I’ve ever seen for outhouses.
