Bruce Spruce Ranch

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Fishing is one of the main draws at Bruce Spruce Ranch, a privately managed campground along the eastern corridor of San Juan National Forest near Pagosa Springs. Three on-site ponds give anglers a chance at some sizable catches, though fishing requires a permit picked up at the camp office. Treasure Falls sits roughly half a mile from the entrance, making it an easy addition to any stay.

Sites are well-spaced and mostly level, with full hookups available for RVs up to 50 feet. The campground separates RV sites from tent areas, which reviewers note reduces noise and generator interference across the grounds. Tent sites come equipped with fire rings, and bathrooms are kept clean with hot showers available near the office. Note that WiFi has been listed as an amenity, but at least one reviewer found it not yet operational during a summer visit, so campers relying on connectivity should plan accordingly.

East Fork Campground sits roughly 1.6 miles to the east for those who want a different base, while Turkey Creek Road is a nearby dispersed alternative to the southwest. The access road into Bruce Spruce Ranch has been flagged as rough, so lower-clearance vehicles should proceed with care. The season runs from late May through late October, and reservations are available. Pets are welcome. Book early for summer weekends, as the surrounding area sees heavy use during peak season.

Nice quiet place

Nice campground right next to the San Juan nation forest. Could use a little landscaping. However, it is very peaceful and we would stay here again

Spacious beauty

The tent sites were large and well spaced. Well maintained and equipped with a great fire ring. Bathrooms very clean and great hot shower. Don’t go if you need to be connected digitally at this moment that is not up and running, but they did say by the end of the summer. The family was friendly and gave good advice when asked.

4 day camping

The area is very beautiful and clean. We stayed in the Bob o link cabin Monday thru Thursday in June. Theres a cool shady area to sit by a creek just down the road from there, Awesome! The staff and other campers were very friendly. We had no hot water at the cabin, but hot showers were just feet away near the office!

Colorado-At Peace

This privately owned campground feels like Colorado-at peace-to me.  Campgrounds, especially in the times of Covid are filled to the brim these days and that means a different type of experience complete with sometimes noisy neighbors, lots of vehicles and generators running at all hours.  

This. Place. Is. Peaceful.  

Your first look at the view on the way in to the camoground office should make you want to take a big breath of fresh CO air and leave the worries of the world behind.  

The owners/workers were all as friendly as can be and seemed extremely genuine in providing everyone an enjoyable experience. There are 3 ponds on property for fishing and there are some whoppers in there!  Do keep in mind, you need to get a permit at the office to partake in being an angler for the day.  

The campsites themselves are well spaced, shady, pretty level and have full hookups.  What more could you want?  They have even separated the RV area from the tent camping area which I find to be the most enjoyable for all parties involved.

As for the general area-you can't go wrong no matter which direction you go.  Pagosa Springs is a lovely town with everything you could need.  There are too many fishing opportunities to name in the area, and a MUST see-Treasure Falls-it's quite literally .5 miles from the campground entrance.

  • Treasure Falls is a MUST see and right around the corner!
