Beautiful campground. Large spacious campsites. This has been my favorite campground on Rec.gov so far. Only downfalls are no dumpsite, no water at site, no showers, drive in a bit sketchy in places. If they had showers I would to stay here longer.

Nice, clean campground. The hosts made the rounds every couple of hours and were able to answer questions. Firewood available to purchase. Our site wasn’t very level. Check out the photos for a place to put a tent if that’s how you camp. Bathrooms were clean. We enjoyed our stay.

Great shaded spots. Bathrooms pretty clean. Cell service spotty. No bear boxes. Convenient to Durango. Some bigger, louder groups in double sites but nothing too crazy. Would definitely come back.

Great campground, the cleanest restrooms ever. The only downside was the noise from a group campsite and the kids running through the woods. Don't get me wrong...I love my grandkids and I think time in the woods is the best way for kids to grow up...but if you want peace and quiet in the woods you might want to time your stay for when the kids are in school!

The bathrooms were always clean and the host was very friendly. The sites were nice and quite private.
