We could only stay overnight. We noticed the campsite was very well kept. Its location close to Durango made accessibility to downtown events available.

Excellent back in site, nicely wooded with privacy. Camped with small teardrop and had just enough driveway space for that and tow vehicle, which was perfect for us. A few rock stair-steps up to picnic table and fire pit - again, super private! Clean spaces, well kept by hosts, and had spotless vault toilets. Firewood for sale on site (pay station, self-serve). This and site 3 are our favorite sites here so far.

Very nice place. The best thing was the campground hosts. They were always around cleaning or raking.
