Quiet and peaceful setting close to town. This site fairly open to others, less privacy. Clean bathrooms.

Really loved this campground and how close it is to Durango but you still feel very isolated. The end of the Colorado Trail was very close and a beautiful hike. Make it up to Gudy's Rest on the trail if you can- so worth the view! You can hear the creek from the edge of the campground.
