The camp hosts were very nice. The campground was clean and well maintained especially the bathrooms they looked almost brand new. The river was very close along with the Colorado trails so there is plenty of hiking and mountain biking to do.

This campground is amazing! There is a lot of room in between the sites. We stayed in loop E so we had electric. It was early June and we did run the air conditioner to help keep the dog comfortable. There was water that was easily accessible also. The campground hosts were super friendly, the campground was clean and they had some of the cleanest bathrooms we have seen. The Colorado Trail was close which was nice to hike. Durango is only 15 minutes away and we were able to go in for a fun afternoon and then get back to enjoy the awesome campsite. This is on our list to come back to!

The hosts were super friendly. They cross all the T’s and dot all the I’s. We were even invited to attend a string quartet during our stay. Very clean toilets and sites.
