South Mineral Campground — San Juan National Forest
Reviewed Apr. 29, 2020

Tons of wildlife, nearby falls, hiking trails, off-road climbs etc

South Mineral Creek Campground is just about as remote as you wanna get without sacrificing the real luxuries in life, like running water and toilets. The road in is quite a ways from, well, pretty much everything you know and love about civilization but that's part of the draw if you ask me. You won't have cell service but you will have an abundance of critters who make themselves right at home in your camp if you let them and beautifully vibrant wildflowers in the late summer months. If you've been wondering how to show the kids a magnificent world beyond TikTok and Fortnite, this is a great place to start. The only reason anyone will be pulling out a phone is to snap pictures.
