We loved our stay at Burro Bridge! Facilities were beautiful, clean, and so will kept. Our camp host, Mary, was awesome, knowledgable, and took excellent care of the grounds. Highly recommended! Be aware, the camp fee can only be paid in cash or by app.

Perfect secluded campground. Impeccably clean bathroom. Running water outside. And the friendliest host ("Pickett") of any place I've stayed. A little pricey ($20/night) hence only 4 stars. But if you must have a toilet and running water, the best place in the area.

Loved this lightly-used campground. Impeccable camp sites, impeccable bathrooms. Quiet, sits above Dolores river but was not buggy. Super kind campground host. 1.5 miles from Navajo Lake Trailhead and approximately 3.0 miles from Kilpacker Trailhead.

Great campground with a wonderful, friendly, informative host! Shady, not busy, and off the beaten path. Spotless bathrooms and fresh water. There were some flies, but not too bad.
