Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Pagosa Springs, CO

First off, the host was just wonderful and helpful. The sites were spread out enough for privacy. Bathrooms were clean. Wasn't crowded. Really a great place to camp. Not that far from Pagosa Springs if you need supplies.

Great location between Durango and Santa Fe, just south of Pagosa Springs. Forest Service road, well maintained. I stopped at about 8300 feet. Great site nestled in pine grove with gambrel oak. Several of the sites are pull through so easy to come in with a trailer. Nice view of snow capped mountains to the west. There is no one here. Road continues up to Navajo Peak. There is sign of cat activity, relatively recent scat and elk femur.

Beautiful location along the San Juan. Well maintained park close to Pagosa Springs

Spent two nights to rest and relax after crossing Red Mountain Pass during snow storm. Enjoyed bathrooms, showers and dog park (2 acres). Camp hosts were especially friendly and helpful. Spent time at Durango Hot Springs too! Make sure you go!

Far enough away from the hustle of Pagosa Springs, far enough from the highway. Old growth forest reminded me of CA.

Right outside of Pagosa Springs. This place is great. Awesome staff, clean and friendly. All hookups and fun surroundings. On the San Juan River. Quiet and I would def stay here again.

Well kept. Trolley stop so close you don't need to find a parking place while exploring downtown. Wifi is good enough to stream. No dog park but enough area to do their business. Tight spaces. We're 43 feet fifth wheel. Barely enough room to park truck in the site. We would stay again.

This site is not for those who need amenities. But for those who come prepared with whatever they need, it is a great spot to camp close to Pagosa Springs, CO in the national forest.

Pagosa Cool Pines RV park is centrally located in Pagosa Springs Colorado. It's a small very well kept park with less then 30 spots. No tents or popup campers allowed.  Meet with the owner and he shared with me that the cell sevice and wifi were great and that he provides 40 channels of cable. Daily RV rental is in the mid $50s. It was a beautiful park was the owner aloud me to drive through.  Some hiking/walking trails on property.

Incredibly friendly staff, great store with camping necessities and fun swag. Dog park was large enough with a shaded tree and benches. Pickle ball, movie night, pool, playground ect included. Almost every space was filled but it was quiet because the activities are spread nicely away from where we were. Pull through sites with enough room. Good price for the location.

Nice quiet area outside of Pagosa Springs. Lots of flat spaces, road is bumpy with some potholes, but not bad at all for BLM. 1-2 bars of Verizon LTE depending on where you are. We parked fairly fair up the road, no traffic.

While driving into Durango finding a place to stay overnight this time of year (November) was a blessing. The website would not let me book our stay because it was within 24 hours. I called and there was one spot open. We arrived and were escorted to our spot. There was tree removal and fall clean up happening. The facilities were clean and the dogs Loved the Huge dog park. The views are beautiful. It is expensive but we are happy to have found a place.

We have a tent on our Truck and had a great spot! It was very woodsy, and secluded! It was quiet a hike up and down a hill to go to the bathrooms. I loveeee that they have a dog park! I was super bummed you can't have a normal fire pit, you can only rent a propane one. We will be back for sure!!!

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. Friendly staff, ample Laundry facilities, spacious sites (premium and above), 2 acres dog park, restaurant onsite and just a wonderful basecamp for Durango and Silverton. We had technical issues and they were very accommodating plus they have an RV tech on-site. Highly recommend .

Ute Campground is a sweet little camping spot, just a turn off of hwy 160 between Bayfield and Pagosa Springs. Nice flat spacious campsites with picnic tables and a fire ring. Dirt roads were great for the kids to ride bikes. Endless hiking options. Wildlife viewing. Chimney rock across just across the road

Super easy to find, travel, and stay. Loved the tall trees and beautiful wildflowers. Despite the rain sites aren’t too muddy for our campervan. Dirt load leading in little bumpy but easy to drive. We stayed about half mile short of the coordinates. Barely any Verizon service. Fire rings, open space, nice fresh air, close to pagosa springs. Would stay again.

The campground is set just a couple miles before Durango. They have a swimming pool, laundry facilities, a small dog park, and a very basic playground. They also have a little Caboose from which they serve simple breakfast items, and a little store with a couple of Essentials. Overall the staff was friendly and helpful and our experience was very positive. It was 55 bucks for a pull through site with hookups. We were not allowed to pitch a tent in the camper campsite.

This was honestly the perfect spot while I was visiting Pagosa Springs (about 30 min drive from town).

The road coming in was mildly steep/curvy, but not at all difficult.

Verizon was spotty and only available a little higher up, but I was still able to get my work done and stream Netflix, with a little patience.

I spent almost a week there and hardly saw anyone. Spots are spaced well apart and its nice and quiet.

The views are great!
