What a great campground, so private. Fun for kids to explore. Go 10 mph on the road.

Really clean campsite, close to town. Level campsites with plenty of room for multiple vehicles.

Great NF campground, about 6mi from downtown Durango! Narrow, windy road to get to park, the last 1.5mi being gravel, washboard, but gorgeous once you get there! Loop āEā is definitely the best for larger rigs, w/ 50a elect., and site #3 was perfect! No satellite because of being surrounded by Ponderosa Pines, and Cell service is 1-2 bars, even with booster. Loved hiking the Colorado trail along the creek right from the campground, and also the flume trail up above the camp. Gorgeous area up in the pines!! Would definitely stay again, but not the most convenient if you want to spend a lot of time in town of Durango - La Plata County fairgrounds in town would be better.
