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.

Better than average campground with their own lake

We stayed here one night and they were super packed but managed to get us in. The sites are close together, but for one night it was fine. We were able to do all of our laundry and the people running the campground are super helpful and friendly.

Beautiful campground just outside of Pagosa Springs

We only stayed one night but would definitely come back. We had a nice large tent site right by the river. No trees on this site but the view and the river made up for that. Scenery was great and we had a number of great conversations with some of the other campers. Camp hosts were very friendly and the facilities were pretty nice. There were porta-potty’s half way to the wash house but they were clean and didn’t smell too bad and they saved us from having to walk another few minutes. We had some noisy neighbors but they quieted down once we asked. We paid $27 for the one night.

Good Park. Great Location. Fantastic Service

It started with a great experience booking the site. We were making some last-minute travel plans, and the PRC folks helped us find a perfect site on short notice. We travel in a tiny teardrop trailer, and the site they picked couldn’t have been better. (More on that shortly.)

When we arrived, the staff greeted us, checked us in, and led us to our site. They showed us where all the amenities were, and left us to get set up. Our site (33) was perfect for a small to mid-size trailer, with beautiful trees, a nice fire ring, and a picnic table.

The property has a nice pond, with sites that line one side of it. But the real beauty here is that the San Juan River sits on the back of the property. We love to fish, so we stopped in a local fly shop, picked up some flies and fishing licenses, and caught a 10-inch rainbow back at the campground. (They also sell flies and fishing tackle in the campground store.)

The bathrooms and showers were nice and clean, and since we don’t have a bathroom in our trailer, we were happy to have them. They also had a nice clean laundry room with several washers and 2 large dryers.

This feels very much like a campground that’s been in the family for years. Sure, it’s not all new and shiny, but the staff (and there are quite a few of them) work hard to make PRC a great place to stay.

Mainly workkampers as staff. Very friendly. We ended up here 3 nights due to Thunderstorms. We were on motorcycles with Tent trailer. Very quiet at night & during the day other campers kids were having a blast. Near to town & activities.
