This campsite and campground were amazing! It was quiet, beautiful, and most campsites had a ton of privacy. By far the cleanest campsite/campground I have ever stayed at. The hosts were great. Only thing to note for people with campers (and water tanks) - you need to fill up at the host campsite because the available water by the toilets do not have spigots to attach hoses to (there are spigots at the host campsite).

Very nice campground. The road is a little washboardy on the way up, but that's to be expected. It was not too bad. No cell service. The bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever seen for a pit toilet! Very quiet...a very pleasant stay. Very close to Durango. Would recommend and stay here again if in the area.

Good hosts, clean bathrooms. Too many dogs off leash. Not roaming campground, but not on leash at sites. As responsible dog owners, we were hardly able to walk the campground with our small dog without dogs charging out from sites. Owners were able to call all back, but it's terrifying to wonder if we're to be attacked. We were there seven days and it happened at least once every day from different loops. A stronger penalty should be enforced for dogs off leash. A warning, then ejection from the cg for the next violation would get some attention.
