We stayed here during the Fourth of July weekend, when absolutely everything in the area was fully booked. Due to the wildfires, many public camping areas were also unavailable, making it even more difficult to find a place to stay. The day before our arrival, I decided to try my luck and contacted Westerly. Carrie replied almost immediately and let us know they had a spot available for us. She even took our reservation without requiring a deposit, simply trusting our word. The following day, she remained incredibly attentive as I updated her about our arrival time and was there waiting to welcome us personally. The RV park itself is small, very well maintained, and peaceful. It is important to note that there are no bathrooms or showers, but for RV travelers this is not an issue since the sites have full hookups. The location is beautiful. The Durango & Silverton train passes right nearby, which adds so much charm to the experience, and there is also a large grocery store just a short walk away, making it very convenient. Overall, the park felt intimate, private, beautiful, and surrounded by nature. A special thank you to Carrie for her exceptional hospitality and attention. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to other RV travelers.

Nice RV Park. Durango Hot Springs across the road on one side, and a nice upscale market, a hardware store and a liquor store across the road on the other side. Great shade trees, full hookups. Everything you could want.

Very nice, quiet, clean, large sites with trees. The owners are outstanding and helpful. Prices are very reasonable.

North of town, a bit of a drive. Not fancy, but clean, convenient, and full hookups. Trees and grass with gravel drives and pads. Level and easy setup. Stayed here multiple times!
