Great campground on the creek
Beautiful spot right in the river. Sweet camp host and lots of spots. Many mosquitoes so bring bug spray. 13 spots and you can’t reserve so get there early.

La Plata River Views
Van camper perspective: Beautiful campground near Mesa Verde located on the banks of the La Plata creek. The creek is clear and cold but refreshing on a hot day. The campgrounds is located on both sides of CR 124 with 13 sites total. We enjoyed a large riverside campsite at an elevation of 8’800’ with large trees for shade and privacy. The pit toilets were extremely clean. The camp host was informative. Plenty of firewood available and an evening fire helped take the chill off. Parked near the table, on the edge of creek, under a shade tree, doesn’t get much better.
