First time I've written a review before leaving. As we tow a car with our motor home, at check-in we asked for a pull through and was charged $34 for a campsite that isn't long enough; still had to disconnect. The water spickot is too low to accommodate our H2O filter. The Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad wanted $180 for two on a shortened, two hour route not going to Stirling. Reserve by phone and drive 10 miles from United CG to board. The men's shower is "closed for the season." The CG is barbed wire-fenced with no direct access to the Anamis River. The tent site section is grass; the rest is uneven stones. The Anaimis Valley views are great. Durango is a neat area, but we'll find another CG when we return; can't recommend United Campground.

We stayed here for 1 week en route from Northern AZ to central CO. As full timers we prioritize convenience to town, dog friendliness, access to trails, and of course internet and WiFi. This was very convenient to town—where we loved the off leash dog park right on the river! We would have loved it if this campground had a dog run. They don’t allow dogs to cross the tracks and even walk (on leash) in the tent area which would have been nice as there were no trails nearby and we just had to walk our very energetic lab in circles around the campground. Thankfully there were lots of other dogs she could say hi to. We understand why dogs aren’t allowed in the tent area of course.
The campground is beautifully situated between 2 mountains and on the river—outstanding views. Nice laundry and bath house which were open during COVID with precautions. Cell service was decent but not fantastic. Their WiFi was unusable and they were very open to feedback about that — one of the groundskeepers was driving around doing speed tests to try and fix things. The grounds were kept very tidy and they watered down the gravel driveways several times daily to mitigate dust.
Easy access to several trails — we loved going north and hiking near Purgatory resort and also stopping at James Ranch for dinner.
In town businesses did a nice job following CDC guidelines for COVID.

This is an older campground but kept in very good condition by the staff. Sites were shaded from sun most of day. Property is nestled between two mountains so the views are excellent. The property is naturally terraced on three levels, making the landscape pleasant to look at. The tent camping grassy area was so green and shaded. I’ve rarely seen such a nice tent camping area. It’s located in a safe area of town, and less than 5 minutes from Main Street. The narrow-rail train passing through the campground property during the day was really fun and memorable. Bathrooms/showers are older but very clean and well maintained. Laundry room had plenty of washers and dryers, all in good working condition. Wifi was present but extremely slow speed that I chose to use my cell phone as a hotspot instead. Lots of families here. Very quiet at night. This is a great family campground that I would definitely stay at again.

Great park! Decent cell signal for working, and the train comes through twice a day (oftentimes more than 1 train) right through the park. Right by a trolley stop for great access to downtown. Sites are close together but when I was there in the fall they had RVs pretty well spread out.

Durango Silverton RR runs through the campground 0800 to 1700 or so, so no intrusion at all (adds to the ambience). Only minor complaint would be traffic noise from 550, but it is very tolerable and lightens up in the evening. Definitely will come back to United.

Water and electric were only sites available for last minute reservations for July 4th. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice park next to the river and train track. Park was crowded for the holiday, but we didn't feel surrounded by people. We would certainly stay here again.

They were able to totally turn around my impression. My 3 year old put pennies on the track and we accidentally left them on our picnic table. They graciously sent them in the mail. Our little guy was elated when they arrived today. I appreciate their willingness to make that happen!
We were able to take the last two spots they had available. The sites were very large, bathrooms were clean and the pool was a huge perk. Prices are very high but relative for the area. We were frustrated by the fact that they couldn’t tell us if we would be able to stay for two nights or not until checkout on what would be our second day. They need a much better system to determine availability.
