Beautiful campground! The camp hosts were super nice and were following all guidance and cleaning for COVID. The weather was a bit rough (expected for being pretty high & that early in the season) but the location was great for visiting Telluride. Beautiful!

This is a great campground for tent or trailer camping. We brought a tent and picked Site 25. Would not recommend that site for a tent -- there is very little shade and no tent pad. The walk-in sites are ideal for tents and have great mountain views. Other good tent sites would be 16-19. Toilets were all clean. Camp has flush toilets and a pit toilet closer to the walk-in sites. Hot water and showers also available. Great location for hiking (the Galloping Goose trail can be accessed from the campground, or for a flatter walk, there is a gravel road right up that same path that has a couple nice views). Camp hosts were also very friendly.

Nice campground in a beautiful location. A bit of a drive to downtown Telluride but if you park at Mountain Center and take the Gondola to town it’s not bad. The gondola is free and convenient. Camp host were great.
