Beautiful campground and impeccably maintained! Vault toilets were the cleanest and best we’ve seen. Sites were spread out, large, and private. Lots of trees and sites were graded and cleaned after campers departed - hosts were super. Firewood available for purchase, and town is not to far for supplies. Will definitely return for a longer stay (stayed 2 nights)!

The camp hosts are extremely helpful and keep the grounds amazingly clean. The bathrooms were spotless and our area was raked while we were hiking for the day.

Cleanest bathrooms at any campground I've ever been to. And the camp host (Rose I think?) was so helpful at check in and so nice.

This place is amazing! Close to a portion of the Colorado Trail that is absolutely gorgeous. Park staff are awesome. Close to Durango, but you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Quiet and perfect!

There was nothing special about it. It was a nice drive between the campground and Durango.

Great site for our company picnic! We had power, shelter, tables, restrooms, trash dumpster, plenty of parking, volleyball and places for kids to play. All was VERY well kept, clean and tidy. We did have to grab the camp host to turn on the power since we had brought crockpots but that took just a couple of minutes. We'll be back!

Close to town. Sites were a good size with privacy. Bathrooms were well maintained. Camp hosts did an excellent job of maintaining the bathrooms and sites.
