4 Reviews

Cimarrona Campground, near Pagosa Springs, Colorado, is a fantastic spot for those looking to immerse themselves in nature without the frills. Set against a backdrop of stunning mountain views and lush meadows, this campground offers a mix of open sites and shaded spots tucked away in the woods, perfect for both RVs and tents.

Numerous guests pointed out the large, well-shaded sites and helpful hosts who maintain clean facilities. Many mentioned the peaceful, scenic mountain setting at 8400 feet elevation with nearby wilderness trail access.

Pretty Location

Stayed at site #20 in early June. Elevation around 8400 feet. Beautiful Spring green foliage on the aspens. Clean vault toilets with tp. One potable water station with hand pump. No water & electric hook ups.  There is also trash service in-season. The host, Mike, was very helpful. Firewood for sale at $8/bundle. The campground consists of a handful of sites in an open field, suitable for big rigs, with the remainder of the sites back in the woods which are more suitable to tent, van, car & truck campers. Each site has a metal fire ring and table. Some of the sites in the woods are on a slight slope. Beautiful views of nearby mountains & meadow. Cimarrona Creek runs along side of the campground; fishing doesn't appear to be good in it. Fishing is better south of Williams Creek Reservoir - about 5 miles away. The Cimarrona trail head is behind site #18; this trail leads up into the Weminuche Wilderness area.

Hidden gem

This campground is an amazing hidden gem. Twenty sites with some great selections.
I was surprised to see that it was never full. It got close on Saturday with people waiting for a site at Teal down the road first thing Sunday. The host Bob is a wonderful host, very laidback and helpful. He keeps an immaculate campground. I will definitely return to Cimaronna.
