What a lovely place to spend a few days. The camp is amazing with many trails leading to the animas trails and the Colorado trail. Even better is the drive or bike ride up the road. It’s 20 miles out and 20 miles back so none locals like me 👋🏽be weary of the length and altitude so hydrate or I’m coming after you!! # go anyway The bathrooms here were the cleanest I’ve ever seen and we have been...

Beautiful campground. We stayed on the group site G02 and there was plenty of space for gathering, tents, and parking. The vault toilets were always kept clean and well stocked with toilet paper. Camp hosts were friendly and helpful. If you followed a short path it would lead you to a walking trail. We did not have any cell service there, but you could find service just a short drive down the moun... Beautiful campground.

Camp hosts were friendly and helpful. If you followed a short path it would lead you to a walking trail. We did not have any cell service there, but you could find service just a short drive down the mountain. The water pressure from the spicket was low and it took a while to fill buckets for washing dishes or hands and I would recommend bringing your own drinking water. I would stay here again! It was beautiful and close to town for any other activities or needs.

This was a nice little campground. It is a bit of a drive outside of Durango, but that wasn't a problem for us. There's plenty of space between campsites. Cleanest vault toilets I have ever used!

Stayed in a camper there for a week. The bathrooms were cleaner and smelled better than most modern campsite bathrooms. Park was beautiful and well kept.

This is my kind of campground. Full shade, peaceful with large sites. If they had showers I would stay longer. The Colorado trail access is here which is a plus. Great place if you want to hike, bike or just sit and relax.
