I cannot say enough nice things about the staff and park. Sites were roomy, clean, quiet. The camp hosts were friendly and took amazing care of the park and people.
Thank you

Amazing, quiet, extremely clean campground. The campground host was exceedingly helpful too when we needed to add a night- can’t remember her name, but I sure enjoyed chatting with her.

Large, private sites with plenty of space between neighbors. Full shade, quiet, and clean. One of the best Forest Service campgrounds I've ever stated at. Electric hookups were a plus.
Close to town in a secluded canyon. Hiking available from the campground and convenient to many Durango activities.

This campground is gorgeous and spacious. The restrooms are unbelievably clean. The host is a wonderful caretaker and these, although vault toilets are hosed and kept free of odor. There are trash cans in the restrooms and motion detector lights when you walk in.
We had trouble with a flat tire and the host helped us to get it pumped up and back on the road to get it replaced.
We wished we had booked for more than one night but will be back to enjoy it again!

Great location! The Campsite staff were very nice. Beautiful riverside walk to the cute western town. We enjoyed Orvis Hot Springs and the short hike to Cascade Waterfall. Highly recommend!
