Very clean campground and for the most part the sites have good separation for each other. My favorite sites are number 1 and number 12. There are restrooms that are OK clean And there is a dumpster that is for registered campers only. All are first come first serve. The picture shows my Van in site one it has a little more noise from the highway but the view out Uber The Valley is specbachelor...

The picture shows my Van in site one it has a little more noise from the highway but the view out Uber The Valley is specbachelor however the road noise goes way down after dark Site 12 is on a cliff and overlooks the river below both are fantastic. Each site has a very nice picnic a bear resistant box for food items and ice chests

Since last year when we discovered this campground, it has already become a favorite. It's a basic campground, no running water, but the restrooms are always the cleanest in this little valley. If you love to fish, this is the place to park your rig. Many trails lead to the river, and the views are always fabulous.

We drive a 36 foot motorhome. There are many narrow spots and low hanging branches to look out for. The upper loop had too many obstructions for our motorhome. The lower loop was accessible but the road down to the lower loop is a little steep. The lower loop had 4 spots that would accommodate our rig. We would stay there again. Good AT&T / Verizon signal.

Stopped in for an overnight camp at a modest elevation before going higher and ended up staying an extra night. The hosts (Russ and Patty) were delightful, and made the stay much more enjoyable.

We hit this campground after bypassing the Big Meadows campground in 2013 - it was closed during the West Fork Fire. Campground was surprisingly quiet considering it was so close to US 160, and the view of the Rio Grande Valley was wonderful. No water, but very convenient to Del Norte and its environs. Would recommend. B
