Loved staying at this campground! Beautiful area and close enough to Telluride to visit but far enough away to avoid the crowds and enjoy some solitude. The host was great, and the campsites were well maintained. Will definitely visit again!

It was nice& overall fine! Our favorite part was the white noise from the water! We stayed at 3 campsites this trip and sadly this was our least favorite. We didn’t like the traffic noise and there was tons of mosquitoes.
We didn’t stay long& there were bathrooms nearby, so it was great to stay there for the night & have somewhere isolated to go to bed!

Great little campground, short bike ride to Trout Lake. Short car ride to Mountain Village, with free gondolas into Telluride. This was our second time, we will be back! Camp host was very friendly and helpful, unlike last time.

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!
