The road to get to this PAID campground is uphill and the road is RUFF. Very washboard and needs to be grated. Our site D1 was next to the restrooms and was a bit of a challenge to level rig. Lots of trees so Starlink wouldn’t work and barely one bar Verizon. Camp host was very friendly and nice. The views going UP and DOWN were beautiful.

Excellent campground 15 minutes from Durango, but in the pines and foothills at the very end of the Colorado Trail. Excellent mountain biking options (CT-Hoffheins-Dry Creek-CT; or Log Chutes, right from loop E and C) abound, as well as hiking along Junction Creek. Hosts are fantastic--very warm and friendly and thorough with the little details.

This multi loop campground has brand new and super clean pit toilets. Each site is tucked away off of the loop and ours was perfectly level. D4 has a fire ring a picnic table, level tent area and a hook. Great location to town and the campsite host was such a nice guy that even allowed us to fill our water tank in our van. The site was even raked! Love this place and location to town. The upper E loop even has electricity to those sites.

This is a great campground! The spaces are nicely spaced and out of view from your neighbor, close to town and the Colorado trail. But mostly, the staff is incredibly helpful, friendly and take extreme pride in the cleanliness of the park. The toilets are seriously cleaner than any restaurants bathrooms. We'll be back!

This was a great forested campground with spacious sites. They even have a few double sites. The electrical hookups were a treasure! The bathrooms were clean and freshly painted. The camp hosts were wonderful. We had Verizon cell phone coverage. The only negatives were a washboard road coming into the campground, (It really was horrible for a while.) and a bit of ATV noise. We were there during the week. It may be worse on the weekends.

This place is great. Sites well spaced, 50 amp electric. No water/sewer but that's okay. They have spigots through the park to get fresh water. If you stay on the eastern end of the park, Verizon service is decent. Be mindful of the critters. I caught more than a few mice while staying there, and the chipmunks might try to make a home out of your RV or car. The way in is a dirt road for a few miles, but I made it just fine with a 42 foot motor-home towing a car.

Quiet!! Beautiful campground. The pit toilets are super clean and not stinky. The hosts take great care of the whole place. You can get firewood for $7 a bundle at the check in point. Road up to the campground needs to be navigated with care. No guardrails. Don't speed. Lots of bikes in the road up from Durango. Be careful with your food and garbage as it is bear country.

This was a wonderful and relaxing experience for us. The setting is absolutely beautiful and peaceful with well laid out and thoughtfully planned isolated sites and super clean toilets with adjacent drinking water at each. The hosts are very friendly and always on hand to help with camp and local tourist information. Beverly in particular was incredible! We are new to camping but will be booking the same site for next year based on our experience.

A super duper nice campground! Sites are dotted among the pines and gambel oak groves, nicely spaced for privacy. Wildlife abounds with an ethereal hermit thrush soundtrack. The sites are level, raked to zen garden perfection between each guest, and extremely tidy. As others have mentioned, the vault toilets are so clean and nice, the Queen of England would probably be delighted to visit. The gravel road up to the campground is quite washboard-y, but that was the only detracting aspect we found. Note that the water spigots near each toilet are not threaded for hookups. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. A+!
