Stayed almost a week in Aug, nice break from our TX heat. Our spot for our camper was quite uneven and tiny, but can't complain with how beautiful our view was.

Jude, host, was super nice and helpful. We enjoyed our stay. The mosquitos were pretty fierce but WalMart deet-free repellent kept them at bay. Beautiful area.

A nice little somewhat secluded, but easily accessible campground about 10 miles northeast of Pagosa Springs. There is a Forest Service Road (gravel) that you take after getting off Hwy 160 for about a mile until you hit the campground. There are about 25 sites available, some overlooking the East Fork if the Sån Juan River. Many are well screened with picnic table and fire ring. Wood bundles are available from the campground høst for $10. I think the høst was named Jude and he was a gem. Sites were blown clean of debris and needles from the large Ponderosa Pines in the area. Although the restrooms didn't smell the best, they were clean. There were numerous paths down to the River as well. Would definitely stay here again. Made the reservations on recreation.gov. Have no issues with the $32 for the site, but the $8 reservation fee is getting out of hånd. If this would go back to the government or for improvements at the site, that would be fine However, I am pretty sure that all just goes to the vendor.

Back-in and pull-beside sites with picnic tables and fire rings. Many sites are close to the canyon where the river runs, so one can hear the river below all the time. Lovely park! The road from US-160 to the campground entrance is mostly washboard.

Very nice little campground, just outside of Pagosa Springs, with the East Fork of the San Juan River running just behind it. Not too big, great tent sites.
