Great small and clean campground with a great host (Blaine). Some sites have electric but most don’t. Some sites are by reservation, some first come. No dump. Water fill as you come in. Does have a Trash bin available. Some sites are right on the river but you do have to navigate the under brush to get to it. Quiet and relaxing.

Campground and facilities were very clean. The camp host Blane was very personable and attentive. The BEST national Forest campground! We will definitely return!

The camp host Blaine was great! He directed me to a wonderful FF site along the river, surrounded by wild roses. If I hadn't made plans to continue to another location I would have loved to stay longer. The only reason I removed one star is because recreation.gov is lacking in information or is incorrect, specifically how many FF sites are available, check in and check out times. Also, $32 a night is too much for a site without electric that does not have a dump site or freshwater fill.

A great place to camp right next to the West Dolores River. There are some electric spots. Beautiful area!!

Secluded, shaded with large pines on river. Pit toilet was clean. Compact sites. State parks a la carte systems have gotten pricey. My TMobile cell did not work.
