"Beautiful views of surrounding mountains and Alta lakes as well as access to the ghost town of Alta."
"The off road trail it get to Alta lakes took us about 40-50 minutes in my boyfriends F-150. The views were amazing so neither of us really minded."
"The campground is bordered on one side by the San Juan River and by the park on the other side, making a tight but nice campground."
"It's right next to the town and is used a lot for Telluride's summer festivals. Its more than a campground it is also where a lot of town events are held and also has sports venues."
"Had a wonderful stay right next to the lake. Woke up to the sounds of birds. Sites include RV/van sites (2?) and at least six tent only sites. Each night only one other site was occupied."
"Pulled into this area late one evening on a fall camping trip across Colorado. Totally expected it to be full but there were a couple areas left to setup thankfully."
$25 - $45 / night
"I've spent quite a bit of time at various sites around this campground during annual vacations and using it as a base for geological field work nearby."
"Small lake with non-motorized boating and fishing. Level sites, pit toilets, tables, fire rings, and camp store. Kayaks for rent."
"Was a really nice area with a ton of campsites off the dirt path or close to the river."
"Lots of fire rings scattered around the rocky area. This site can get very full and very loud as it is very popular and close to Silverton."
"We stayed in site #8 which was quite lovely, tucked in the aspen trees with a picnic table and fire ring. The small pond behind our site was dried up, probably due to the ongoing drought."
"In pursuit of the perfect campground in Colorado, Telluride has so many to choose from it makes it near impossible to select just one."
$28 / night
"the sites are full, or snag a hotel near 550 when we don't want to chance a night on a slope."
"Site was clean, easy to access and close to restroom. Great views all around and super close to Ouray and surrounding hiking trails."
$26 - $40 / night
"Matterhorn Campground, located near Telluride and nestled in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, offers an excellent balance of comfort and outdoor adventure."
"We were happy to have hot showers as we were on day 4&5 of our camping across Colorado honeymoon and it had rained nights 1-4. There were two camp hosts both of the ladies were nice."
"Some of the best in Colorado. I had good cell service too (working remotely). There are some larger dispersed campgrounds near the top trailhead that are more in the woods."
"We drove in from ouray side and took the long 40 min dirt road and I will say, the road was rough.. we made it just fine in my hyundai tuscan but I will say, I was sh*ting myself driving it!"
"Large campsite near intersection of campground roads; some traffic driving by. Campground wasn't crowded during our stay."
"On the way there you will pass several single dispersed campsites next to the river or in the reeds by the beaver ponds, as well as a few semi developed dispersed campgrounds."
GuideWe took FR504-1D to the top of the hill and it was really worth the effort. Wide open area with room for 4 to 6 camps. The access from 504-1C was a moderately steep with a tight squeeze halfway up. Outstanding views of Creede and the long valley towards Lake City. It rained each day but, only for a short time and watching the storms move across the peaks and valleys was definitely cool. Nights were in the low 40’s and daytime highs of 75-ish. The area around 504-1C became a village over the weekend but, other than the OHV’s it was nice and quiet. Would we go again? Probably not but the stay was a real treat.
ScoutPrimitive area with pads only and a new pit toilet. We were the only camper. Nice views but can get windy and cows are in the area. Poor cell service with Verizon 1 bar, but open sky for Starlink. Several wild camping areas nearby. Close to North Clear Creek is.
ScoutBeautiful location. Drove in via Deep Creek Road. The road isn't terrible if you have high clearance and 4WD.
4 stars because some of the other campers lack common decency and respect. Dogs off leash and wandering all over the place. Including onto my site and getting into my stuff. No owners in sight, and heard no attempts to call dogs back. Near or on the summit someone had a dog barking quite literally all night long. This dog was barking for 15 minutes around 9pm, a few minutes around 10:30pm, 15 minutes at 1am, and then off and on through sunrise. Attached a video of the barking at 1am.
Just because this is dispersed camping, doesn't mean respect for other campers should go out the window. Absolutely ridiculous and very disappointing.
GuideHave camped here for almost 2 weeks now with the river about 10 paces from our rig. End spots of the 7 along the river here are most spacious though all seem pretty good considering you are literally on the banks of the river. Road access in is good for any vehicle or type RV. Definitely a real find for fishing and enjoying the headwaters area.
TravelerThis is truly an amazing spot, problem is there is only one spot and at over 8 miles from the road. Chances if you get here the spot is taken. But if your lucky enough to grab you'll love it
GuideI have a truck that can pull 12,000lbs and my smallish travel trailer with water weighs 5500lbs. The roads are completely sketchy pulling a trailer. I wouldn’t have done it if not for prior others who apparently did it.
ScoutNice size sights. Gravel lots. Do hear a bit of traffic noise from highway when close to front gate. River sights look nicer. I would stay here again without hesitation
TravelerSuper nice owners. Super clean Park, bathrooms, laundry. Well maintained. Very Spacious pull thru rv spaces. Long green dog walk area. Surrounded by fields. Views of the San Juan mountain range. Midway between Ridgway And Montrose. We will be back for sure.!
ScoutPeaceful with mountain views. Well-maintained away from the highway RV camping with all the manatees that we ever needed.
