The camp hosts are extremely helpful and keep the grounds amazingly clean. The bathrooms were spotless and our area was raked while we were hiking for the day.

Cleanest bathrooms at any campground I've ever been to. And the camp host (Rose I think?) was so helpful at check in and so nice.

This place is amazing! Close to a portion of the Colorado Trail that is absolutely gorgeous. Park staff are awesome. Close to Durango, but you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Quiet and perfect!
