Elwood Cabin sits in a saddle along the San Juan Mountains overlooking an open meadow, offering guests a unique lodging opportunity. The cabin was built in 1911 by the Mountain States Telephone Company as a "line shack" to support crews maintaining the transcontinental telephone line. Remnants of this old telephone line are still found along Iron Creek to the southeast. The cabin was also used as a Forest Service Station from 1950 until 1962, serving as living quarters for Forest Service employees who worked on numerous projects in the area.Although the phone line has been abandoned, today the cabin is a high-altitude getaway for guests seeking relaxation and recreation in south-central Colorado. During summer months the cabin can be accessed by motorized travel. During winter months access to the cabin is by snowmobiles, cross country skiing or snow shoeing.
The area around Elwood cabin offers a variety of recreational opportunities year-round. Summertime brings excellent scenic tour opportunities in and around the Summitville area as well as exploration of several historical mining sites. Anglers have a spectacular backdrop to fishing streams such as Iron Creek or Treasure Creek. Nearby Platoro Reservoir, which feeds the Conejos River, provides excellent fishing for trout and salmon. Great hiking can be found around the area, as it spans both the Rio Grande and San Juan National Forests, as well as the South San Juan Wilderness. In winter, the Elwood cabin area can be blanketed with as much as ten feet of snow, requiring preparation and knowledge of winter travel. Snowmobiling, skiing and snowshoeing are popular activities in the area.
High in the San Juan Mountains at an elevation of 11,000 feet, this cabin provides guests with views of nearby peaks, meadows filled with wildflowers and alpine forests. While staying at such a high elevation guests will notice how light plays differently on the landscape and stars blanket the sky on clear cold evenings. Elk, deer, and other wildlife are often seen in meadows adjacent to the cabin. Bear, marmot and chipmunks also call the area home.
Summitville is a nearby ghost town where gold was first discovered in 1870, then mined until the early 1990s. When contaminants leaked off-site and flowed into the local watershed the government forced it to shut down. Now a water treatment plant is on the site as part of a federal clean up program.

Stayed in spot R1 which is pretty small/crowded in, but near river and trees. Lovely duck and geese ponds and river walk, also dog park. Clean restrooms and showers but no changing stalls in either mens/womens shower. Very quiet and affordable. Near to grocery. Grounds are well-kept and healthy & green (lots of trees, shrubs, beautiful walk by river). Sorry pics are a bit washed out, doesn't do it justice.

We booked here last minute on a holiday weekend and we were thankful they had a spot for us! The campground parking area is just that. It’s a place to park for the night, with full hook ups. No wifi. The location can’t be beat! Views are incredible! The bath house was clean. There is a store and restaurant in property. They also have cabins to rent. . My only complaint…this is a dark sky area with expansive views of the sky and the opportunity to see the Milky Way. This is not something g I get to see at home! However, all the giant campers had their bright lights on at night and it really messed with viewing of the sky. I wish there was a rule of no outside lights at night. It’s unnecessary! If you are one of those people that leave your lights on when you go in for the night, please reconsider!
RangerWe spent one night here so we could go to the park. Nice enough campground with level spaces and full hook ups. We paid $54. Area also has cabins and a lodge as well as a store with a little restaurant. The showers were amazing at this place. Nice hot copious amounts of water and very clean. About 4 miles from the park entrance. Sandunes were pretty cool, but unless you want to hike to the very top of them, you could easily only spend two hours at the most here.

We enjoy tenting in relatively primitive national forests and usually avoid private campgrounds. But our friends recommended Last Resort on the River, and we were pleasantly surprised. The tent sites are separated from the RV sites in a forested area along the river. We shared a campsite on the river that had lots of trees and plenty of room for two tents and a canopy. Several other tent sites are carved out of the brush along the river. This makes a very nice setting with lots of privacy. The sound of the river is soothing and there was very little sound from the road.
It was a short walk to the amenities of the campground. There is a picnic shelter where we sat out a rainstorm, a very nice bathhouse for showering and washing dishes, as well as a comfortable indoor sitting area and another outdoor area with chairs and a fire pit. Ice and firewood are available at the office. Rich delivered them to our site. There are also some ice cream treats there and a few snacks. There is a fishing pond and a volleyball court. The rabbit hutch would have entertained the kids, if we had any with us.
There is no cell service, but the wifi was excellent and reached our campsite on the river. My wife was able to participate in a Zoom meeting from the picnic shelter where there was a convenient electrical outlet for her computer.
Rich is continually upgrading the property. He was very responsive and always willing to help. We highly recommend this campground.
GuideThis campground is so conveniently close to the national park. The property was well-maintained and clean. The staff were very friendly. And, there was a restaurant, gift shop and equipment rental shop on the property.
Our RV spot had full hookups but the sites were so closely spaced that there was no room for a picnic table or outdoor seating. The bathrooms were modern, clean, and with hot showers.

This place has everything you need to recharge and resupply before getting back out Overland.
TravelerGreat place
GuideSuper friendly staff. Tent camp parked with Sprinter RV . Great sunset view. Close to Great Sand Dunes. Super clean bathrooms and HOT showers! Bit of a walk but worth it
TravelerWe’ve camped here 4 times. Twice in tents, once in the cabins and the last time in our RV. The Great Sand Dune Natl park is one of our favorite places to go. The camp ground is clean, quiet and the views are amazing. You can see the milky way at nite and we saw two of the most incredible sunsets imaginable. Bathrooms are kept clean and the camp store has just everything you could need. There is a resturant also. Didn’t eat there so can’t comment on the food. I’ll go again and again and again.
Traveler
30 minute drive to the dunes, great restaurant and bar at the pool area. Would stay here again if I'm in the area.
Guide
Stunning spot, lots of tent sites, room for maybe 12 campers of modest length, mine is 26' spot #9 is prime for a camper with a driver side slide/kitchen table. unknown if it's seasonal but the biting flies, primarily deer flies are beyond bearable, I survived 4 days, most other campers left after one night. The camp host is very friendly, and knows the best fishing holes.
GuideWe grabbed a tent site for our small teardrop for a night and decided to stay 2. Staff was very freindly. Store had essentials including a gas pump. Only a handful of folks in the tent area and it was nice and quiet. fantastic views of the dunes and plenty of shaded sites. Bathroom in the tent sites were clean

The RV park is extremely quiet and pet friendly. We extremely enjoyed our three day stay. We have already started planning for a return trip.  They also have cabins for people to stay in it, traveling without their RV/tent. 
TravelerNice park nestled at the foot of the mountains and on the banks of the Red River. Nicely landscaped with two ponds and a river walk. Location is great for visiting Rio Grande del Norte NM and the Wild Rivers Recreation Area. Just north of Taos too. Nicely shaded, level sites with full hookups. Nice picnic table and grill. Might be a little tight for big rigs, but my little Casita was quite happy. Very friendly folks in the office. Clean laundry and restroom. My site backed up to the river and the sound of the rushing water was the perfect lullaby.
TravelerLocated close to town off an easily acsessable road, is lakeside and riverside, offering a very peaceful vibe. The hosts were the kindest people, I was treated with "We're glad to have you, thank you for coming to stay." The amenities were plentiful with 24/7 laundry room, showers, bathrooms, hookups, dumps station and general store. Our site E was for camping, but could fit our 22' Sprinter van so to open our slider to the lake. Across the lake is a great little path with the gushing river on the other side, perfect taking the pups for a walk. They even have riverside benches to sit and enjoy the surroundings. We would visit repeatedly if in the area. Great find.
TravelerWe stopped in when we missed out on a spot at Zapata Falls earlier in the day. The road is rough coming up and some of the sites aren’t the most level, but there was plenty of space- we drove in and picked whatever looked good as it wasn’t busy when we visited. Showers very clean, drinking water available. Gorgeous view of the dunes at sunset. There is a general store/restaurant on premises for any odds and ends. Most importantly, only about 2 miles from the entrance to the park!
TravelerEnjoyed our stay! Super close to the dunes with showers and laundry. There’s also heated pools and hot tubs. Enjoyed our time in The Greenhouse which has 4 hot tubs and a bar. Cool spot and would stay here again if we were to return to the dunes.

Ashley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this resort with plenty of lodging accommodations. Start your Colorado Fly Fishing vacation right outside your door with 3/4 miles of private river frontage stocked with trophy-sized rainbow trout, plus may other nearby streams and lakes. Check them out and leave them some love.
GuideAbsolutely stunning , however this is a dead zone ! No service , no wifi like 0% nothing worked !
ScoutGreat location but campsites are relatively small. Roads are very bumpy and not easy to get around. Bathrooms and showers are available. If you want to rent sandboards make sure you arrive in time as they step renting them out around 3 pm.
ScoutWe booked only one hour before arriving around 5pm looking for a last minute camp with showers. Boy did we get more than we asked for! Friendly staff, clean facilities, affordable, HUGE hot spring fed pool, a nice grill with delicious food and beverages. Our campsite had epic views. All around perfect experience for my 10 year and I. We will be back!

This is been one of my least favorite spots to stay thus far. This park has no bathrooms, no laundry, no fire pits… Nothing but a picnic table. It is fully gravel, sites weren’t level, and very loud early mornings with all of the ATV activity. I think it is far too expensive for the stay. The staff is nice, and it’s family owned—but everything else, including the location pretty much sucked. I really think it’s worth it to find another park around the area to stay.
We had full hook ups. WiFi didn’t work and no Phone service.
ScoutThe staff at the Pagosa Riverside Campground is very friendly and helpful. The campgrounds are beautiful, scenic, and peaceful. The restrooms and showers are clean and well kept. The campgrounds are located on the San Juan River with good access for fishing.
Guide
Nice campground right next to the San Juan nation forest. Could use a little landscaping. However, it is very peaceful and we would stay here again
Traveler
We found this place traveling through. We didn’t have reservations on a holiday weekend but the staff helped us out. They have a general store and a coffee shop. Hot showers, and clean restrooms. No cell signal and the WiFi is poor - that is the only downside. Would stay here again if I am ever in the area.
