Amazing, quiet, extremely clean campground. The campground host was exceedingly helpful too when we needed to add a night- can’t remember her name, but I sure enjoyed chatting with her.

Large, private sites with plenty of space between neighbors. Full shade, quiet, and clean. One of the best Forest Service campgrounds I've ever stated at. Electric hookups were a plus.
Close to town in a secluded canyon. Hiking available from the campground and convenient to many Durango activities.

This campground is gorgeous and spacious. The restrooms are unbelievably clean. The host is a wonderful caretaker and these, although vault toilets are hosed and kept free of odor. There are trash cans in the restrooms and motion detector lights when you walk in.
We had trouble with a flat tire and the host helped us to get it pumped up and back on the road to get it replaced.
We wished we had booked for more than one night but will be back to enjoy it again!

Great location! The Campsite staff were very nice. Beautiful riverside walk to the cute western town. We enjoyed Orvis Hot Springs and the short hike to Cascade Waterfall. Highly recommend!

My favorite campground in southwest Colorado. Maybe just my favorite! Stayed at E3 this time. Perfect. You cannot go wrong with E1,E2 or 3. I will be back again a couple times next year. As always.

The tent camping site was beautiful. We were there at a good time -- early September. I'm guessing it gets crowded other times. However, the sites are spacious so even if crowded there would be plenty of room.

Beautiful, spacious spots. Towering trees, no sounds of humanity even though you are 5 miles from downtown amenities. There is some wash boarding on the road going up, but not nearly what I had expected based on reviews. The ability to enjoy nature, then drive a few minutes to a brew pub is perfect for our camping style. The hosts were so helpful. We will return.

Beautiful campsite, located in mature evergreen forest. Host was friendly and very helpful. Campsites were in excellent condition and well maintained. Bathrooms were super clean. The only issue was the very rough and poorly maintained La Plata County road on the way to the campsite.
