Snowslide Campground

Great location, beautiful tails and camp sites! 100% recommending and will most definitely return again

No electricity, water or garbage but beautiful campsites, mostly private, on either side of the road going up a few miles. San Juan NF. $22 a night or $11 with the senior pass which I have. Tons of wildlife including a red fox who came to visit me a couple of times and a beautiful setting at the base of Hesperus Mountain. So nice I was going to stay three nights and decided to stay five!

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.

Camp has fire grates, picnic tables, and pit toilets. There is a camp host to buy wood from. 13 sites they are all first come first serve.

Quiet time is typically between 10pm - 6am. Please be a good neighbor and limit use of generators to no more than one hour at a time. Dogs must be leashed or otherwise physically restrained. Do not leave pets unattended. Check-out time: 12:00 pm; Check-in time: 2:00 pm - if the site is empty, campers may come in anytime.

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.

Camp host Andrew was awesome, the pit toilets were cleaned Daily never once was there an odor… Shaded spots and full sun spots. Light traffic, heavy on the weekends. 80 daily, 40’s at night. Will be coming back next year.

Snowslide was awesome!! Near the creek! Clean and quiet and Brent was awesome!! I highly recommend staying here! Absolutely breathtaking scenery!

In elevation in July we had cool night and picture perfect day. We had #6 and it was the best spot on the end, quiet and peaceful. We motorcycle camped with our tent and by far was our best night of camping. Perfect scenery, and easy to get to.

Nicest drop well toilets in the campgrounds. The check in host is warm and welcoming. Nice spaces.
