    Haviland Lake Campground

    Quiet and Peaceful Campground.

    This is a National Forests campground, and many of the sites have electricity, but nothing else. The sites are reasonably graded gravel sites. Some are pull-thru while others are back-in.

    Very nice

    Nice campground with spacious sites. Concrete pads under the picnic table and fire pits. Water access nearby. Bathrooms were super clean and the showers were nice and hot. Laundry facilities available. We stayed on D-183 and had a nice view of the mountains and the lake. Definitely one of the best state park campgrounds in Colorado.

    South Rim Campground — Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

    Convenient location and simple site

    I got in on a Wednesday around noon and was able to get one of the first come first serve spots in the C loop. Some are a little more secluded then others, but quite a few didn’t seem to have good shade. Fire pits, picnic table, and bear box in every site. There was a fun campground program that night that lasted about 40 minutes and around 30-35 people were there.

    Beautiful 1 mile hike to the visitor center. Super convenient if you’re planning to do anything inner canyon

    Ancient Cedars Mesa Verde RV Park

    Extremely strict cancellation policy

    Made a Rez 5 months ago and didn’t see the fine print cancellation policy stating 14 days out no refund. I had to make new plans due to unforeseen circumstances and called to find out that 13 days out is too bad for me. Not any concessions or credits for future stays, nada zilch. So for a slow time of year they just print money hoping no sees their fine print. I’m a business man and I’ve always seen rules as an opportunity to make someone’s day not motivation to make negative reviews. Maybe I’m old school but there was zero expense on their part and 5 months of cash holding for them. I guess their business is doing so well that they send people the other direction when looking for a place to stay

    OUTBACK RV 

    Cortez, CO 

    37.38128210,-108.49380530 

    6,337’ elev 

    Stay 7/24-9/24, Site#3 

    I almost hate to write this review as with only 8 spots I don't want it to get so busy we can't get a reservation! 

    On it's surface the description may not sound like much, gravel parking lot, no‘park type’ amenities etc., but it is truly amazing here. If you're looking for pickle ball courts, pools and crowds, this probably isn't the place for you. If you're looking for the closest thing to boondocking with FHUs and the nicest owners, this is it! 

    So what makes it so special? 

    With only 8 spots in a center row, there is no one in front or behind blocking your view. We had Point Lookout, Lone Cone, and Knife Edge of Mesa Verde NP out our front window, high desert BLM out our rear window, and Sleeping Ute Mtn. out our campside windows. 

    Minimal lighting makes Dark Sky stargazing amazing! 

    We had views everywhere, gorgeous sunsets and wildlife of some sort every morning and evening. The owner, Bill, passes through daily for trash pickup and is a wealth of information on things to do locally. His wife Judy even shared some of the garden harvest with us. All this is before even mentioning everything there is to do within 100yds to 30m of this centralized location. 

    About the Park: 

    Open Seasonally April- September, reservations open in January. 

    NO OTA Channels but a Clear sky for DISH/Starlink and Verizon(3b without a booster). 

    8 LONG level gravel pull through sites that are very well maintained… great for longer 5th wheels, large motorhomes with cargo trailers, double tows, or new RVers not wanting to back in after a long day of travel. 

    Sites are set up Buddy Style, but are well spaced and have a picnic table in a covered pavillion on cement pad between sites. End spots have their own Pavillion. 

    Daily trash pickup. Fire pit, Horseshoe pit, and large covered communal table in a centralized location. 

    FHU had no issues, even water pressure was good. 

    No bathroom/shower ammenities, so only self contained units permitted. 

    It's close enough to 160 to be easily accessible for an overnight, but far enough to not hear it. Road L gets some traffic, but quites down at night. There is a racetrack on 160 that you might hear on Friday& Saturdays during race season, but it wasn't bad. We slept with the windows open most nights with no issues. 

    Roads in are good till the last unpaved bit. The unpaved road is good, just a little bump at the transition. No overhead obstacles for us taller rigs. 

    Discounts available on weekly and monthly stays make it a good deal for spending some time exploring the area. 

    Area Attractions: Phil's World hiking/biking/ATV trails is maybe 100yds from the entrance. Mesa Verde NP is a 10min drive, Canyons of the Ancients visitor center is about 20min, Yucca House about 30min, town of Cortez about 8 min, Delores about 25min, and Durango about 35min(where you can take the Silverton Train). We spent 2 months here and still didn't see everything! 

    The BLM land behind us presented a show of wildlife every morning/evening and plenty of hiking. Deer almost daily. Our neighbor spent his evenings walking the land scouting ruins which are pretty much everywhere around here. 

    Several stores in Cortez… City Market, Safeway, Walmart, Autozone, O’Reillys, well stocked liquor store, several fast foods and some really great resturants. Definitely try The Wigglin Pig and Once Upon A Sandwich. Great RV repair shop in Mancos, about 15m away, Kodiak RV. They offer mobile tech services as well. Free dump at the Maverick if you're boondocking in the area. Cortez Maverick is much easier than the Durango Maverick to maneuver for dumping. 

    Farmer's Market in Cortez on Saturdays in season. 

    Fiesta Twin has$5.00 movies on Tuesdays, new releases. 

    Laundromat by the Subway is the most economical. 

    Large Rec Center in town with day passes.

    This park was an unexpected gem we found when the high heat this summer nixed

     some of our boondocking plans. What was supposed to be a 3nt stay, turned into 2 months. 

    We would definitely stay here again…. Probably next summer😀 

    NOTE: Site#’s are in reverse order from entrance.#8 closest to the entrance,#1 furthest. Even# sites have their nose facing BLM and rear facing Mesa Verde NP. 

    Odd# sites have their nose facing Mesa Verde NP, and their rear facing BLM.

    Don’t let the dilapidated mobile home near the entrance scare you away. This place is super well maintained. Every site is well thought out and has great hookups. I thought a plug water and sewer was pretty uniform. Our site had a pedestal with 20/30/50 amp and then another with 30 20 feet further into the site. Lots of shade. The sites along the south edge of the property have amazing views of the Cortez valley and Sleeping Ute Mountain. Really nice communal fire pit, dog park and some trails too. Some sites have a beautiful brick fire ring too.

    Ok for over night stop

    Mid week after Labor Day. Site d92. Quiet. Flush restrooms are clean. Water spigots close. Power in site. Close to 550 for easy stop. However sites are small and close together. Somewhat level paved driveway. But site is terraced into the hill. 1 bar lte for T mobile If you were here for the lake it would rate higher.

    WARNING! There are size limitations !

    I did not stay here. Got up to the entrance (turnaround) to find signs warning of overall length limitations. In my case with a pickup plus tow camper I was beyond the advised maximum length—which was noted as both 29’ and 35’ accordingly.

    Sultan Dispersed

    Accessible but secluded

    This site is easily accessed from the highway; I think even sedans could get to the first few sites if they went slowly. Sites 1-5 are close enough to the highway to get some road noise, but have good tree cover and great views of Grand Turk Mountain! The sites further in are more sheltered from road noise. Beautiful area to camp!

    HTR Durango Campground

    Depends on what you value

    I value space, privacy, value and and quality of the area.  This is a old campground purchased by a multi park company.  It is on a twisty, multi curved 2 lane about 7 miles from downtown Durango.  It is in what is/was a beautiful small canyon with numerous aspen and other trees.  It has a creek which flows part of the year.  That said, it is crowded, with your neighbors sewer connection next to your picnic table.  The spaces are short.  If your RV/toad  or travel trailer plus pickup is much over 48 feet, you'll be out in the road.  They WILL put you in too small a space.  My pickup, parked overnight was damaged by someone trying to make the too tight turn at the end of the campground.  The beauty of the place is totally compromised by not just the rv spaces but multiple cabins dotting the hills around and tent sites, etc. etc.  If you value quality of experience , this is not the place for you.

    Book it Now! This RV park will fill up quickly. Riverbend is a beautiful park in a fantastic location. What sets this park apart from others is the owners and camp hosts. The park's owners are exceptional; everything they do is done for the benefit of their guests.

     A few examples include oversized RV sites, WiFi, and they even love dogs because they have an off-lease dog park. The camp hosts here are fantastic; 

    Rob and Becky and Kirby and Robin are two couples that truely went above and beyond. They are simply the best! 

    We had such a great time we invited several of our friends to come down and rent a cabin, which they all did, and we had an absolute blast! The most amazing trip ever!

    I stayed here for one night and was pleasantly surprised. It’s surrounded by tall Lodgepole pines that offer awesome shade and privacy from neighbors. Bathrooms were clean. Camp hosts were friendly. It sounds like there is a lot of bear activity so tent camping could be a concern. There were mostly RVs.

    Last Dollar Road

    Minimal campground

    I took the upper road from 62 and yes, it was a bit rocky, but I read that the other way from Telluride was rutted out as well.  It's only 3mi of true 4x4 road to get up to the bluff. I was in a Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 and pulling a 13' off road trailer. Nothing too crazy but caution if it has been raining.

    If you stay at the coordinates it has an amazing view. A thunderstorm did roll in over night with 50mph winds so that wasn't much fun. I left the next morning incase the dirt roads got too muddy.

    I saw multiple people coming from both ways with 4x4 vehicles so it can't be too bad.  AT&T service was good

But when is recreation resource management of America going to.get it's literal s#@t together and have water and actual toilets? Porta pottys don't last that long and the ones near us are scary full!

    Matterhorn — Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre And Gunnison National Forest

    Clean Campground, Hot Showers a Plus

    This place is close to Telluride Mountain and fairly close to Telluride. You can take two gondola rides from Telluride Mountain down into Telluride. The campground is nestled in the trees with a few open sites in the middle. The camp hosts were very friendly and kept the place tidy. There is firewood for sale. The main bathroom has running water, flush toilets and hot showers, which I honestly can say was pretty great. We were at site 15 which was pretty small but we were able to get in there with our rooftop tent on a truck. Some sites are next to a stream but also close to the highway. There are a few pull through sites.

    What was not mentioned in other reviews is there is a dirt road above the campground called Priest Lake Road which leads to Priest Lake that has tent sites on the lake and then further up is Trout Lake. Trout Lake has a boat ramp and you can paddle board there. I wish I had known that, as I would have brought my paddle board. 

    The Galloping Goose Trail is right behind site 15 and apparently goes all the way to Telluride.

    Perfect place, wrong day

    We loved this campground. Easy to find, well maintained. Clean bathrooms. Pot holes weren’t that bad. 20B was spacious but no trees for shade. 17A was closer to the lake, great spot, little too close to the pot smoking, drunken couple arguing half the night… then the monsoon like rain started. Not the campgrounds fault though

    Clean, Hot Showers

    Nice campground, can be reserved through recreation.gov. 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. The outer spots on the backside of the loop are tucked more into the woods which would have been lovely but they were not available when we reserved our spot at the last minute. It is fairly close to the highway but there is a creek close and drowns out most of road noise at night. Nice trail close to walk. Our last night a camper pulled in late and kept his generator on all night which was annoying but the camp hosts spoke with him the next morning!

    Little Molas Lake Campground

    Large spot

    We stumbled upon this campsite through Dyrt. We left on a 10 day honeymoon to the mountains with no real plans. This was our first time to the Silverton area and this spot was perfect for us to spend two nights. The spot we camped at was the first one when you pull in. This spot would be great for large campers or campers with horses/trailers. It had several large pines for us to put our tent between to help with the rain coverage as it rained both nights we were there. This spot is closer to the highway but we weren't there during the day and at night there was not a lot of road noise. We did have to drive to the bathrooms from this site due to the rain and distance. Would stay here again.
