Amazing spot Xenia to creek

We camped right at the Hermosa creek trail head next to the creek. It was amazing mid June! Fire ban went into effect the day we pulled in so it got chilly at night, but other than that it was quiet even during the day. A few bikers showed up because the weather during the day was amazing about mid 70’s and the night got chilly around 40’s-30’s but it was perfect! There is no phone service of any kind.

Cold Quiet Quality

Very amazing campsite just a few miles north of Durango. The road to the site was pretty long, we camped around 6 miles out. Many people coming and going during the day but very quiet at night. Would recommend

Beautiful & Packed

This is a beautiful area and many camp sites at the bottom by the creek. However during 4th of July it was packed. We went up the mountain and found a beautiful pond to camp next to. There was no one that far up there. Bring bug spray there are so many mosquitos in this area! Must have a high clearance & 4 wheel drive vehicle to access the top of the mountain.

Great views!

Easy access to 4-5 dispersed sites close to the Hermosa Cr TH. The site farthest back has a log that you can use to cross the creek if it is high. We stayed here for 3 nights over the weekend and were the only campers, a handful of people used it as day use parking for fishing and biking. All sites are right on the creek. Hermosa Park Rd up to this point is accessible by 2wd. There are plenty of other sites along the road upto and past this spot too if you don't want a little more solitude. Great spot if you have kids! Hermosa Cr Tr is an awesome hike/bike ride.
