“Very Nice Campground Right On The Deloris River”

The owners were super nice and guided us to and into our camping spot very easily. The campground sits right on the Deloris river with several sites you back right up to the river. Even the sites that are not right on the river are very nice. I would stay here again for sure.

I loved this campground right on The Dolores river, it was so pretty and the landscaping in between the sites was very nice. Very well run campground and clean, quiet at night, except for the river running through. I even tried to stay another night in my sight, but someone was coming in. There is a little store for supplies and on Saturdays They also make homemade cinnamon rolls.

I wish all campgrounds were like this. The price is incredible for what you get. Hiking trails, the river, free firewood, beautifully maintained grounds, helpful and friendly staff. We reserved a spot for next year while we were there.

We are not newby campers.. at almost 70 years old and traveling mostly all over the west this camp ground was a huge (and pleasant) surprise. Spotless clean, beautiful pine trees, gorgeous Dolores River right out back window, cool temps, close to Telluride and Durango.... we normally never camp close to major parks or attractions. We dislike the congestion while towing the camper so are happy to drive in beautiful scenery and use a great campground as a home base... unfortunately, we loved this one so much we didn't want to leave it.
I would love to keep this campground a private secret, but I just can't.... it was AWESOME. AND to top it off we had great cell service so my husband could work one of the days we were there..

Courteous and friendly staff, our spot was wonderful. We had a beautiful area, looked like has been landscaped and nicely maintained. Park is 20 miles from Dolores & 40 miles from telluride. Best not forget to pack the coffee. We were in the 1st row and did hear road noise, will return to this park.

Stayed in a riverside space
Check in was super easy and staff are friendly, guided us to our site and helped us back in. Free fire wood and some of the biggest sites we have ever stayed in
People fished the river and walked the park they even have about a mile of walking trails that are well marked and maintained.
Across the street is a forest service trailhead. Short drive to Dolores and Cortez for shopping
The bathroom and laundry room are clean, three showers in each an 5 washers and 5 dryers
One of the nicest RV parks we stayed in all summer
WiFi was good, did not try to stream we used or Dish satellite and got all channels

Lovely campground RIGHT on the Dolores river. Staff and owners were all so nice and helpful. Parking is tight with trees and all so they take you to your site and help you park which was wonderful. Full hookups, picnic table and fire ring although we were on a fire ban. Quiet, friendly and peaceful place. Wifi was intermittent at best which was fine because we came to get away. Camp store is small and limited. They do have laundry and bathhouse if needed. We drove to Mesa Verde NP one day and fished in some lakes on another. Fishing tackle available in nearby Dolores--about 25 mins away. River was running really fast and strong and was great because it drowned out any road noise which was minimal anyhow.

I am not always a fan of private RV parks, but this is one of the best. The people who work there and the people that stay there are always friendly. There is a trailhead for a nice 5 mile loop or farther across the street and there are many additional hikes within an easy drive. This place is booked early every summer especially the coveted river sites, but always call for a site from a cancellation. No dog park (there is a pet walk area with grass), but across the street near the trailhead is an open field with a creek. Additionally, there is a short trail near the back end of the campground that dogs can walk. Internet was sometimes limiting, but I believe in the fall of 2020 this was updated. I have stayed many times here, the last being in October 2020 and the internet was very much improved. May not work for someone working remotely but will be fine for the every day user. Even though your phone will register no service, I haven't had any problems making voice calls. They also rent cabins which some are dog friendly and are on the river. Bathrooms and laundry are kept immaculate.

This particular area of the gulch has zero cell towers. The campground has done their best to put up their own towers so phone calls work anywhere in the park. However, if you need data for work or anything else, go to gazebo tower and connect to that or the “main” tower by the office. It’s all not secure so beware. It was a bit stress... more

However, if you need data for work or anything else, go to gazebo tower and connect to that or the “main” tower by the office. It’s all not secure so beware. It was a bit stressful trying to work, but this campground is gorgeous and if you don’t need data, this place is fantastic! Drive to Telluride one day! Amazing!
