Great stop convenient to Telluride. Clean, well maintained campground with mostly tent campers to basecamp for hiking the many trails.

Did not get the site we had reserved, because the prior camper had not vacated. Host had not appropriately discharged them. Were offered a far inferior site and decided to just leave.

The camp host was exceptionally helpful and the location is beautiful. There are full hookups that can be reserved or first-come. It’s a short drive to Mountain Village where you can park for free and then ride the free gondola into Telluride. Telluride farmers market is on Friday.

Beautiful campground, the sites are nicely spaced apart, great facilities including store, showers, and gas station. The drive into the park to the campground is stunning. The road rises really high as you navigate beautiful switch backs. We will definitely be back.
