Campers should prepare for cooler nights, with sites along the Dolores River offering water recreation options during warmer seasons.

What to do

Hot springs access: Located across from Durango Hot Springs, Westerly RV Park provides convenient access to thermal soaking.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Visitors consistently mention excellent maintenance standards at Sundance RV Park. "Clean, clean, clean. Sites are nicely spaced and everything is immaculate. Gravel, level. Likely the cleanest bath house I've ever stayed in," reports Nicole T., emphasizing facility quality.

River sites: Tent campers particularly appreciate waterfront accommodations at Priest Gulch Campground and RV Park. "We are tent campers. There are only 4 tent sites and they are all wonderful; right next to the river! Bathroom/showers are very clean, but a bit of a walk from the tent sites," notes paul.

Spacious sites: Many RV parks offer more generous spacing than typical commercial parks. "This RV park was amazing! We usually stay in State parks and national campgrounds but this private RV park is the best of both worlds.

What you should know

Pedestal conditions: Electrical service quality varies between parks. At Westerly RV Park, one reviewer cautions: "These people had pedestals with faulty wiring. Fried my $300 surge protector. Told me they couldn't move us to another site because they had several bad pedestals."

Limited tent options: Many parks primarily accommodate RVs with few designated tent sites. At Stoner RV Resort, tent campers receive special consideration: "We are the only tent campers and the camp host Scott had an entire tent camping package for us to use while here.
