Excellent campground! Not too far from downtown. Abundant new bathrooms in each loop.

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
