Very nice park. Sites are spacious. It has a rustic look with modern amenities. The covered wagons add a nice touch. A short 2 minute walk to the river adds to the experience. My dogs loved the Bark Park which is totally suitable for small dogs, no opportunity for escape. My only complaint is walking up stairs to get to the laundry room but that’s because I have old knees!

Was just at Silver Thread Basecamp this month Sept. 2025. This was our 5th or 6th year to go to Southfork and we always stay at this camp ground. Shade trees, away from the hwy. and river view. This summer had to leave two weeks early as my husband was hospitalized with blood clots. Admitted into ICU in Pueblo. No refund or credit was offered. Yes policy say no refunds due to medical reasons. Just not sure if we will return to Silver Thread. I do see policy but also I see MEDICAL reason as in ICU as a pretty good reason Credit for next year should be offered.

We loved this campground! We looked at other campgrounds in the area but were so glad we stayed here because of the trees, great park host and spacious level sites! My parents stayed in the covered wagons and really enjoyed the nostalgia. The campground was conveniently located to everything we wanted to do. South Fork has all your basic needs and within 3 miles of the campground! We will definitely be back.

We love this campground! It is so peaceful with great views and wonderful facilities. The sites are level, nice hookups and plenty of shade. The laundry facilities and shower house are very clean. The camp hosts (Ron, Liz, David and Jane) are so friendly and helpful. The campground is in a perfect location to get to South Fork, Creede, Del Norte and Monte Vista. We can't wait to come back!

We stayed in a covered wagon and it was so cute a cozy! The location is beautiful! It’s right on the river and we had a ton of fun tubing. Also near tons of outdoor fun - and they recommend a gorgeous paddle boarding spot. We had a great experience!
