Bob, the camphost, was probably the best campground host I've experienced in over 20 years for camping. He was super helpful to coordinate with my family the best sites possible and was helpful with any questions we had. The campground itself feels like a pine tree sanctuary -peaceful, quiet, and very clean. Bob and team are amazing at how ordered and clean the campground feels. Probably the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen -and they smelled clean the whole week we were there!. Just an excellent overall experience. Thanks Bob!

Great campground with beautiful views of nature. Bugs and dust are the main difficulties but easy to plan accordingly

Generators should be discouraged at this campground. One generator can disturb the peace for many sites because of the way the campground is configured. Our neighbor ran his generator for over 2 hours at a time from 6 pm to 9:30 pm (when we asked him to turn it off) and then again from 6 am - 9 am. Very rude!

This was a fantastic campground for so many reasons. The host was incredibly nice and helpful, the campground gave tons of space between sites and the bathrooms were very very clean. The location of this campground is really close to Durango but also you feel like you’re in the middle of the forest. I would highly recommend it

Beautiful campground. Large spacious campsites. This has been my favorite campground on Rec.gov so far. Only downfalls are no dumpsite, no water at site, no showers, drive in a bit sketchy in places. If they had showers I would to stay here longer.

Nice, clean campground. The hosts made the rounds every couple of hours and were able to answer questions. Firewood available to purchase. Our site wasn’t very level. Check out the photos for a place to put a tent if that’s how you camp. Bathrooms were clean. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful campground, plenty of room between spaces. Very clean campsites. Negative would be mosquitos as I am a favorite for them.

Great shaded spots. Bathrooms pretty clean. Cell service spotty. No bear boxes. Convenient to Durango. Some bigger, louder groups in double sites but nothing too crazy. Would definitely come back.

Great campground, the cleanest restrooms ever. The only downside was the noise from a group campsite and the kids running through the woods. Don't get me wrong...I love my grandkids and I think time in the woods is the best way for kids to grow up...but if you want peace and quiet in the woods you might want to time your stay for when the kids are in school!
