CG roads and sites are gravel but some sites have concrete patio areas. Access roads are wide enough for big rigs. Site quality varies considerably. The best sites are back-ins along the river which are long and well separated. Unfortunately these seem to be taken mostly by seasonal residents. Overnighters get less desirable sites. A few sites inhabited by "permanent park trash" with the usual junk strewn about. Staff friendly and accomodating. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great park for camping. Sites were large, shady with nice, grassy areas on our site and firepits. A great place to get away from it all. It was not for us, however. WiFi was available for 6.95 for a 24 hour period, 19.95 for a week. Pay phone available and office phone available for $.25/local call. It had only been open for a few days, so benefit of doubt given here. Wife says her shower was hot...mine was luke warm at best in two trys. And, even knowing it was quite a ways from any town, it was too far for us, as we enjoy going out to dinner, that sort of thing. We moved after one night and were told that the rest of our reservation would be refunded, tho I didn't expect it. We'll see. We consider ourselves travelers as opposed to campers and moved to town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Just an absolutely beautiful campground in a beautiful location. The host are very nice but book early because there are a lot of spots already taken by campers that stay all summer every year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park was recommended to us by friends and we were going to stay July, once here we decided to stay all of August too. Well maintained and very clean. Nice river running through park but it requires a Colorado fishing license. Wi-fi was a little expensive and no cell phone service. Store is pretty well stocked and you can get an afternoon ice cream. Close enough to many sites to use as a base camp. Great hiking trails around the park. At over 8,000 feet is nice and cool. Wish they had a hot tub. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our favorite campground! The hosts are extremely pleasant and accommodating, and the setting is just gorgeous. The campground is meticulously maintained. The WiFi signal is strong. Be sure to book your space early as it really fills up in July and August with Texans trying to escape the summer heat. Many people come back year after year for a month or two. It is about 45 minutes from Telluride, which is a lovely day trip. The Dolores River runs right through the campground, and the fishing is decent. Bring supplies as it is a half hour drive to the WalMart in Cortez. There are several trails around the campground which are great for walking dogs. The campground provides free firewood (contributions accepted). We will definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is one of the nicest parks in a rural setting we have ever stayed. Well manicured and owners are RVers themselves and know what we want. I was told by regular returning guests that the owner always tries add something new each year to upgrade. We are already anticipating returning next year and staying at least 2 weeks. We planned to stay only 3 days but ended up staying 6 days. All sights have full hook-ups and are nicely spaced. We stayed there in a fifthwheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We loved this campground. There are lots of sites on the river and the sites have space between them so you aren't jammed against your neighbor. Good fishing in the river. Owners are very willing to please. The restrooms are very clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful setting in the mountains north of Dolores. Sites are large and half of the sites backup to the river. Many of the sites have large grassy areas in between each RV which gives nice separation and adds the the beauty of the park. Laundry room was very clean and they have paid WiFi. No cell phone reception and you need to go to Dolores or Telluride and stock up on groceries. It's a 20 mile trip to Dolores. Excellent park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a nice park to stay. We were able to visit Mesa Verde and Telluride and do some fishing using this as a base. The scenery was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. Pack in some food with you because there are no places to eat closeby and also not a grocery store for about 15 miles (at Dolores). The campgroung had a few supplies such as soft drinks and bread . Security is good as the place had a gate with a code to enter. We stayed about 4 days and the owner was at the sites checking out things frequently. They even let me wash my RV while I was there. Not all sites
are river sites and most of the riverfront sites do not have 50 amp service. This place fills up and you have to call early to get a good site in the summer. Only negatives were we did not have a cell signal anywhere nearby and they had no site phone service, also they did not have sufficient parking around the office area for rigs and other cars. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We rolled in later than planned on a Saturday afternoon and the staff were still very pleasant helping us get situated. Once registered they led us to our site and assisted with the parking. When asked if we wanted help setting up the rig, I said no and they smiled and went about their way. There were 4 families and we were the first ones there due to an unbelieveable number of things going wrong. The next 2 families finally got there and they were cared for just as I was. The final 5th wheel came in 3 days later, were set up in almost the original spot, and were forgiven the
missed days lot rent. The camp grounds are at 8100 feet, so the scenery is beautiful, and the nights cold. Several places to fish in the area make this a good base for dropping a line. The camp is very clean, and some of the long term stayers mow their own grass with a mower provided by the cg. The only reason I brought the site down from a 10 to a 9 is because of no pool, and I'm getting too old to sit in a Colorado river that runs through camp. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very beautiful campground. We stayed here for 5 days. Unfortunately, we were not at the campground much because we were off sightseeing. Very quiet and peaceful with the river running directly behind our trailer. There are a few cabins also. Would definately stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
