Matterhorn

Gina and Steve were fantastic Camp Hosts! Wonderful campground and the mountains are beautiful. Fishing is close by at Trout Lake.

Absolutely amazing campground! We stayed at one of the walk-in campsites, which was only a few steps from the parking lot but still felt incredibly private. We had so much space, and waking up to the breathtaking mountain views from our tent every morning was unforgettable.

We originally had a reservation for just one night at site #16, but we were lucky enough to snag a different site which was a first-come, first-served site and extend our stay to four nights. If you’ve ever tried booking Matterhorn Campground, you know how hard it is! It took us almost three years to finally get a spot, so this trip felt extra special.

Our campsite was close to a vault toilet, and the flush restrooms and hot showers were just a short walk away. Honestly, nothing beats taking a warm shower after a full day of exploring in the San Juans!

One thing that really stood out was how clean and well-maintained everything was. The restrooms were spotless every single day, and you could tell the campground hosts take great pride in caring for the campground. The bathrooms were cleaned daily around noon, and the entire campground was always in excellent condition.

We truly can’t say enough good things about this place. Between the stunning scenery, peaceful campsites, excellent facilities, and incredible campground hosts, this was one of the best camping experiences we’ve ever had. Thank you for making our stay so memorable—we already can’t wait to come back

We loved our time here. The camp hosts were super friendly and did a wonderful job! (Please come back next year!) We miss Tootsie (camp host dog)
Surrounded by beautiful mountains, lakes, and waterfalls. Nothing better!

Absolutely loved this campground! It is small, perfectly located with the mountains surrounding it! The hosts Gina and Corey were amazing! So friendly and helpful! We felt really at home there! The sunsets over the mountains were spectacular!

Pretty area but camp sites are very close to each other.

Great campground with large sites & functional showers

Matterhorn Campground is fantastic! We stayed 5 nights in mid June. Site amenities were great, especially with full hookups! Campground is super quiet after dark.
Camp hosts were very cordial, helpful and chatty! Loved it! Super close to Telluride as well.
Highly recommended and I hope to come back!!!!👍🏼

The campground is beautiful and very well maintained. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful, they kept the bathrooms and showers spotless. Amazing experience at this campground that is surrounded by stunning mountains, lakes and streams.

This is the nicest location! So much to do. I appreciate the showers! No cell service though.

This campground is grossly overrated in the reviews. I guess is your idea of enjoying nature is to seal yourself into a massive Highway Hippo that is spitting distance from other Hippos, then this place may earn the 4.5-star rating it is given. True, it is within 8 miles of the commercial scrum of Telluride, if that is what you seek. However, it is a crowded, noisy campground located adjacent to a state highway and at the bottom of a steep grade. You will experience a symphony of big rig compression brakes the percussion of which you will feel in your chest, loud cars with modified mufflers accelerating up the long grade, and the seemingly ubiquitous groups of, very loud motorcycles. Somehow they manage to make lots of noise even when going downhill.
The hosts of this poor campground could not have been nicer. I felt sorry for them....
The restrooms were kept in perfect condition. There were abundant shared taps for water, though not for RV hookup.
If your idea of camping is enjoying the sights and sounds of nature, you might want to pass on this one.
