What Guests Are Saying
Palisades Horse Camp is praised for its beautiful location, clean facilities, and friendly camp host, making it a favorite among visitors. However, access to the camp is marred by rough road conditions that can damage vehicles, and some pens are equipped with uncomfortable concrete surfaces. Despite these drawbacks, many guests express a strong desire to return and recommend the campground for its overall charm and cleanliness.

We have camped twice at Palisades , the first time was awesome , altho I'm not a fan of the cliff trails . The 2nd time , we got rained out . The pens were a horrible muddy mess, if they fill them with sand/ small gravel and put shelters over them, that would be awesome, horses would stay dry and no or way less mud to stand in

Been here a few times and absolutely love it. The place is so clean and Bo keeps the bathroom cleaner than any other that we have camped at. Bo, the host, and his wife a wonderful people. In fact he is one reason we keep going back. Lots of trails for good riding. Then your so close to Pagosa Springs to go and enjoy the day playing in the hot springs or the river. Shopping isn’t to bad either.

Absolutely the cleanest campground ever. Special thanks to Beau, the campground host and his wife for the special care and attention to detail.
