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.

Road leading to campground is very rough. Road grading would be nice but the park is exceptionally clean and nice. Sites are nice size and spread out too.

We were looking for relaxation and seclusion and we got exactly that. The host was amazingly helpful and the sites were ALL marked very well and impeccably clean. People complain about the dirt road that leads up to the campground but we didn't find it to be any different than any other Colorado dirt road that is well traveled...sometimes it is grated better than other times but it is still perfectly passable. We will definitely come back to this spot again.

This campground may be the cleanest, neatest and well-organized place we have ever stayed in. We were impressed; nothing negative to report.

Excellent campground! The hosts maintain everything from raking the gravel in the road to keeping the vault toilets smelling fresh. Ranger David went out of his way to make sure it was a very good experience. Don't expect wifi or cell service. The tall pines are much better. There's a mile and a half washboard steep road to get there but it's worth it. Book in advance. Most spots are taken most of the time.
