    Great Site Great View

    Easy drive up 160 from Pagosa. Pitched the tent in the afternoon and headed to town for a soak.

    Room for a couple cars and several tents. Not PERFECTLY flat for the tent-folk.

    View is killer - we hit it at about peak color.

    Great views

    Nice area, seems like 3+ camping areas, I stayed here for about 4 days. Some fire pits and good views on the drive up. Road was not busy. Verizon signal was spotty. Most of the time I did not have any signal.

    Lovely lake but noisy RV generators

    I've stayed here for decades now. It's changed. The road is better and so more big RVs and trailers come up, run the generators for hours if not all day long. The peacefulness has gone. I don't recommend it on the weekends or holidays but otherwise, lovely location. Best for 25 ft max rigs if you do come up, the spaces aren't big but the views are!

    Awesome Experience

    I'm glad you found the information about Teal Campground helpful! It indeed sounds like a wonderful place to enjoy nature and take in some beautiful views. The combination of the scenic setting by Williams Creek Reservoir and the amenities provided makes it an attractive option for campers. The shade from ponderosa trees and the availability of drinkable water, garbage collection, and vault toilets certainly add to the convenience and comfort of the camping experience.

    Regards,

    Small campground outside south fork

    Quiet little spot outside south fork. Small campground but convenient for passing through the area. Pit toilet was not the cleanest and had no toilet paper but there were picnic tables and fire pits at each spot so it was a fine campground

    A good destiny place

    Hello

    It sounds like a great place to go camping. Teal Campground! The setting, which looks out over Williams Creek Reservoir, needs to provide breathtaking vistas. It appears to be a pleasant and attractive location with 16 first-come, first-served spots with some shade provided by ponderosa trees. It makes camping more convenient to know that amenities like drinkable water, garbage collection, and vault toilets are available. I appreciate you sharing this evaluation.

    Would be 5 stars, except....Deer flies!!!

    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.

    The facilities are ran down and poorly maintained, the camp manager has made several campers relocate their rigs to accommodate large groups that wanted to be next to each other.

    Pagosa Springs Riverside Campground is a super sweet spot

    Located 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.

    Terrible Place Avoid at all Costs… but SERIOUSLY

    ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS AREA. I was their June 2022. The pollen just about killed me but what an experience. It ticks all the boxes. Plenty of First Come First serviced spots and reserve spots. The lake just a mile up the road is magnificent. There is a FF/FS camp ground at the lake but spots are pretty limited. I have booked again for June and July. Looking forward to floating my Oru Inlet in that gorgeous lake.

    Gravel pit, no bathroom, no amenities, ATV heavy

    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.
