Good location, quite expensive

Clean, hot showers and large laundry room.

One of the more beautiful RV sites, sitting along the silverton & Durango tourist train.

However given we don’t even plug in, $78 including tax is too expensive for us.

Best campground this summer

We did 4 campgrounds during our trip in Colorado this summer. This one was the best: very clean, warm welcome, not that expensive… The Durango & Silverton train passes through the camp, it’s so fun. And you can the free trolley to go downtown Durango, very convenient. Thank you !

Just right

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.

Beautiful and serene location

This would be a 5 star review if the owners allowed access to the river and green area along it that they own. It is right there at camp but you can look but not touch. Everything else is really top notch. Well kept and clean grounds and facilities. Very nice laundry facilities. Very good wifi. Nice sized pull through sites. Can’t comment on pool as was not open yet. Trolley stop that gets you into town right across the street. A few nice full timers. Their rigs are in good condition. Better than two parks north of this one.

Nice place to stay

Came to Durango for a visit. Stayed in this campsite for a night. It’s a nice little place, and except for the highway near by. The train passes by during the day. I would stay here again. There is a trolley to take you into town. Good place to stay.

Almost camping in the city

The campground is next to the road and the railroad tracks. There is no site privacy. But it's a useful stop if you need a shower, laundry, and resupply in Durango.

Great place

Stayed here for two nights visiting Durango. This place is set up well, well maintained, good facilities, nice staff and the trains run right through it! Great laundry space and showers were clean. Only negative I could come up with is the sites are pretty close together.

Cozy Camp Spot

Easy access from 550, flat and grassy tent spots. Good wifi and clean bathrooms. 2 people per site, $5 extra for every person after that. One vehicle, $10 for an extra vehicle. Steep prices but it was a great last minute spot. Durango Hot Springs right up the road is a must!

Great tent spots on grass

We motorcycle camp and use tents every night. We've been to this campground several times because it is so perfect for us. They are open late until 8pm. Besides full hook up sites, they have a large grass area that is lush and flat. It's perfect to pitch a tent or of dust, mud or rocks. Their bathrooms and showers are clean and welcome after a long day of riding. We had the train come through just feet from where we camped.

A Train runs through it

What a treat to see the Durango and Silverton train run right through the campground. Lots of trees for shade spaces are wide enough for most to park next to their camper. Showers and bathrooms are clean and the staff was very pleasant. No sewer hookup at site but there is a dump spot to use before leaving.

family friendly camping spot

We did tent camping and 2 tents fit in our spot (an 8 person and a 4 person tent). The tent sites have a table with benches. no fires are allowed so bring a gas stove if you plan on cooking. Its really close to the Durango old Town area (like 10 min drive or less) and about 45 minutes to mesa verde. The camp sites are right next to the Aminas river but there's no access to it from the campground unfortunately.

Friendly staff and great location

I recently stayed at this campground and it was wonderful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I forgot my spare tire cover behind at my campsite and when I called they grabbed it and held onto it for me. The campsite was well maintained and the bathrooms and showers were very clean.

The greatest thing about this campground though is that the Durango steam train goes right through the campground. To see the historic train right from your camper or tent window is pretty great.

I would absolutely stay here again.

Full RV hookups a swimming pool Wi-Fi and close to town

Just just on the north side of Durango. Very convenient with a shuttle for a fee back into Durango. Narrow Gauge Railway comes right through camp for some wonderful photo opportunities. Nice swimming pool and very clean bathrooms and hot showers. Tenting area has lush green grass and shade trees very nice for group site as well.
