We had an absolutely fantastic experience. The campsite was beautiful and impeccable -- we did not find one small piece of litter as we have in some other campsites. The bathrooms were among the cleanest public bathrooms I have ever used. The crew that manages the campground clearly runs a tight ship.
We visited in September after school was already in session, and the campground was about 25% full, which made the experience even better.
We had a great 8-mile hike along the Colorado trail to Gudy's Rest up on a ridge with a fantastic view. Not too many people on the trail. The trailhead is about 5 minutes (driving) down the road from the campground.
We loved it and would recommend it.

Wonderful campsite! Not too far into Durango (15 min). Also, hardest working camp hosts I've ever witnessed. We're super helpful checking us in, etc.
Overall, very pleasant stay.
