Loop E: Site 9 was great for our 30’ motor home but there was room for longer. It was raked, clean & ready when we arrived. The hosts are so friendly & the bathrooms smell clean. Some late afternoon showers but love all the tall pine trees and fresh mountain air. Having electricity hookups was a nice feature. We met several kind campers and I would definitely come back again.

Rough gravel road to get their. The 30’+ spot we had slopes down considerably. The campsite host helped us into a better first come first serve spot for our stay. Bathrooms were clean and water was available in the campsite.

Great place to stop off for the night. The hosts were literally powerwash the bathrooms and then foged them with disinfectant, so they are beyond clean. The site stalls are graded to perfection.. Easy drive to Durango if you forgot something or want to explore (like rode the railroad).

Decent spacing between sites. As others have mentioned there is lots of shade, so plan for that if you rely on solar.

There are parts of the campground with good VZ and ATT services that have little or no service (if you walk around you should get a good signal).
