Nice isolated place, where you can detox from modern gadgets.
We had to book two separate campsites for two nights, in past I had done the same on the other campgrounds as well, and the hosts were able to give me single campsite for both nights. However, the hosts were not able to do it here even though campsites were open. It was a bummer, as we had to setup twice.

Very nice little campground. A bit out of the way which is great. Bring mosquito repellent!

The campground was clean, beautiful, and covered with trees. Our campsite was close to the river and just beautiful!
The host were great! Friendly, helpful and do an excellent job. I never went to the bathrooms and they not be clean. Reservation was east. Only thing I would add would be a video map of the campgrounds. Thanks for the electric. I’m on oxygen and don’t find many places in the woods with electric. Thank thank you thank you!! RV campgrounds are nice just not the same!

Aside from the mosquitoes, this is a very nice campground! Quiet, well-kept, clean, wildlife and wildflowers a-plenty, and sound of the river. Also, the camp hosts were very nice and accommodated a site change when we arrived during rain storms after having been camping 8 days already and needed 2 trees to hang a tarp from (our reserved site had none).

Directions to the campground need to be updated as they are currently very confusing and not accurate.
Also, it is advertised as a good place to fish, yet there is no bank available on which to stand! Definitely cannot fly fish. And letting us know that the reservoir lets out water in Spring so the river is running too fast to fish would be helpful.

Another great time at West Dolores Campground! The hosts, Larry and Grace were friendly and did what they could to make our stay enjoyable. Good hiking nearby on Lower Stoner Mesa Trail for those who hike. The area is really beautiful!
