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.
GuideNice 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.
Scout
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!
Scout
This place has everything you need to recharge and resupply before getting back out Overland.
GuideWe stayed on the river. Large camp sites. Beautiful sights to see. Very close to atv trails at east fork if it is full. But will have drive there. 10min drive
TravelerWe had a great view, plenty of space and privacy. Close enough to head to Pagosa for a soak.
ScoutI'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,
Akshay

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
ScoutHello
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.

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.
Scout
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.
TravelerLocated 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.
Guide
Beautiful view. Not to mention, such a fun little attraction. Fantastic view of the mountains. The campsites are extremely close, so be very considerate with noise! It was laid out like a parking lot.
Traveler
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.
ScoutSmall camp spots in a row within sight of the Watchtower. Porta potty was in decent shape. I was the only one the star gazing is amazing. Neighbor horses came out to join me, too
ScoutThere are several pullouts along this 3 mile road. Room enough for our T@B trailer. Amazing views of the sunrise on nearby peaks.
TravelerStayed here for one night, passing through. No showers, only porta potties, but they were clean. Wind was howling, but calmed down after dark. A little noise from the road, but not bad.

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.
GuideWe stayed 3 nights. 2022 rate is $24 per night. Gravel road and gravel sites. Campground was kept clean. Well water with 2 hand pumps. I wouldn’t bring a trailer over 23 ft and expect to fit.
ScoutThe staff at the Pagosa Riverside Campground is very friendly and helpful. The campgrounds are beautiful, scenic, and peaceful. The restrooms and showers are clean and well kept. The campgrounds are located on the San Juan River with good access for fishing.
Guide
Nice campground right next to the San Juan nation forest. Could use a little landscaping. However, it is very peaceful and we would stay here again
TravelerThe host were amazing and the views can not be beaten! We will be back very soon.
TravelerNice free spot to pull off of the road. Climb a gravel hill (doable in my 23ft class b) to get to a 5 or so dispersed spots. Some have a view others have trails.
GuideDale and Anne are the kindest and most hospitable folks I’ve met in all my years of camping. They even have farm fresh eggs for sale if you want. Trails, fishing, and other adventures await you in the area. The creek running by our camp sings you to sleep as it ripples by
GuideHad a great time at this campground for two days. Had a sweet spot right on the river. Enough space between campgrounds to have privacy.
