Very clean, quiet campground close to the river. Blain was the best Host I've ever encountered! Hoping to be able to come back in '26.

We were totally amazed at West Dolores Campground. Peaceful, quiet, clean and full of Mother Nature. The director, Blaine, was very personable yet kept excellent control over the campground. If you ever need to get away from everything, this is your place. Bring a book, fishing rod (river on edge of campground) or your spouse / buddy to relax in your own nirvana.
