The Best Camping Near Pagosa Springs, Colorado

There only seemed to be about 2 camping spots. However there is area to just pull off and park. I stayed here 1 night no issues. There is no Verizon phone signal. Stayed at the first large pull off with a stone circle fireplace. It was nice and quite, not a busy road.

Had no issues, pretty close to town, highly recommend. T-mobile works from here

Perfect and quite in a pinch

It was mostly quiet. The cows come by once in awhile to say hi. Easy to get to . 1st spot on the left with firepit

Nice overnight spot 

Nice quiet spots we saw maybe 6 or so as we went further on the road back a ways thought at first there were only two or three spots but there are more if you continue down the road. Cows peacefully grazing we will definitely be staying here again. It’s about 15 min to Pagosa. 

No bugs quiet, spread out camp sites 

Even coming in well after dark was smooth. Quiet, not another vehicle has been threw by 8am the next day. 

Quiet, easy access. 

Good options up the roads past the marker

Plenty of wood around the spot I took

Roads in good shape when I was here, no problems in a sedan

Decent Verizon coverage 

Spot I stayed at was 
37.35608° N, 106.94438° W

There’s a parking spot and beyond somewhat developed clearing behind the trees with a fire ring. Would be good for more than a quick overnight.
