Running along the Dolores River in southwestern Colorado, this private resort-style campground sits in forested terrain between the river and a pair of fishing ponds, giving most sites direct access to water. The campground operates from mid-April through October, and reviewers who visit in fall note the added bonus of heated bathrooms, a detail that stands out after nights spent at more rustic sites in the region.
Cleanliness comes up repeatedly across reviews. Multiple campers describe the restrooms and showers as among the best they've encountered at any campground, and the grounds are consistently noted as well-maintained. Sites are level, which matters for RV travelers, though a few reviewers mention that spacing between sites is fairly tight. Jesse calls the facilities "big, clean restrooms and showers," and notes that a 30-foot trailer fit comfortably at site 13 with room to spare. One practical note: at least one reviewer flags low water pressure as a recurring issue, so RV campers who rely on consistent flow should factor that in.
The campground has more going on than a typical overnight stop. Fishing ponds sit at the back of the property, the Dolores River runs along the edge for floating and wading, and the grounds include a playground, fire pits, a laundry facility, a propane fill station, and a large common room. Staff have been known to organize evening events like ice cream socials and wood-fired pizza nights. The town of Dolores, with restaurants and a brewery, is a short drive away. Nearby alternatives include Along the River RV Camping and Boggy Draw for campers who want a different setup in the same corridor, and there are additional campgrounds near Dolores for those still weighing options.
Reservations are available and recommended, especially for sites at the back of the property near the ponds, which fill first. Front sites closer to the highway pick up road noise, so requesting a rear site when booking is worth the extra step. The campground accepts rigs up to 60 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. One reviewer discovered that the cancellation policy includes both a $20 fee and retained credit card processing charges, so reading the booking terms carefully before confirming dates is advisable.
