Matterhorn is a great campground! Karl is a fantastic host! The bathrooms are always very clean as is the rest of the campground. The only downside is that it is close to the road, but there’s barely any traffic at night. It’s only loud during the day. We stayed here in a regular site with our pop-up and three kids. we didn't need to level the camper. The sites seem really private will all the plants and trees, with a few exceptions. Even though our site was in the middle of the loop (19), we didn't feel like we were that close to people. We would definitely stay here again, but would try for sites 27, 20, or 2.

Matterhorn is a small but beautiful campground in the San Juan Mountains. We loved camping here and loved hiking and paddling in the area. The Tram to Telluride is also a short drive away.
