The Best Camping Near Pagosa Springs, Colorado

Great spot not too far from Williams Creek Reservoir ir from the town of Pagosa Springs! Drove up here on a Thursday night and it was so great to have a campsite all to ourselves. Some designated fire pits for use. Road wasn’t pretty well packed down so you could access with 2WD if needed. There are ranches nearby so you may hear some cattle but it was a great spot to be off the grid. Some trees nearby for cover and for hanging hammocks.

Perfect retreat

We had this place all to ourselves over Memorial Day Weekend. It was lovely and quiet with only a few cars passing by. You can walk down to the river (a little treacherous but definitely doable!) and it’s a short drive away from a lot of neat hikes. It’s also not too far from town. 10/10 would recommend! 

Perfect Dispersed Camping Spot

Pulled the teardrop into a site almost all the way down the road (a spot at very end was already taken).  Tons of privacy though we are right on the road so the little bit of traffic that did drive past - folks camping nearby or looking to boondock - we'd wave and say hi.  Biggest surprise was all the cows that would go up &amp; down the road throughout the day. Free rang'in the mountain. So cute but a bit loud.  They apparently loved my partner's guitar playing as you can see in the pic.  They loved it so much they stayed the whole night and next day.  Did smell a bit but then again, after a few days, I guess we probably did too. :)   We'd stay here again. (No hike down to water - need to be at very end of road to get even close. This was just a homebase; we unhitched and drove to other sites for hikes &amp; fishing)

Cows but still AWESOME!

We found a spot on 631 road. It was nice and quiet. People do drive fairly fast up and down the road. The cows moo-ing added a nice ambiance. Good access to hiking, climbing, and fishing. Served our purposes wonderfully 

Excellent over all 

Parked along side of road late afternoon and had no traffic until the next day about 11 AM. There was an established fire about 50 yards from the road where parked and a decent size stream. No AT&amp;T or Verizon service. There are several ranches in the area on the way with beautiful views. 

All to my self

Drove to end of FS 633 to find an unoccupied clean, dispersed campsite with plenty of room. From there, hiked along the adjoining irrigation ditch to Piedra River Falls trailhead for breathtaking views of the multi-tiered waterfalls. 

Excellent Dispersed Camping Site at end of FS Road 633

We spent a few nights here and will gladly go back!!! We were able to set up by a stream with a nice fire ring. There are NO facilities so be prepared. Clean up your trash and please don’t take glass bottles. There is also reservoir where several guys were ice fishing.  They were at the day camping area where there were toilets. There are paid camping areas but they were all closed while we were there.

Beautiful

We took fs road 633 until the end and found the perfect spot. So quiet and completely alone. We've seen lots of birds and even 2 wild pheasants! We did hike down the canal and took that to the piedra falls which was beautiful and a great way to spend a hot afternoon! 
We did have a bear at the campsite about 15 min after dusk. We were already in the RTT and he moved along pretty quickly. Just a reminder to have bear bags and everything put up.
