About
National Forest
Sig Creek Campground, 32 miles north of Durango, has 9 campsites on a southfacing hillside about 1/4 mile from the East Fork of Hermosa Creek. The campground is 6 miles west of Durango Mountain Resort on the Hermosa Park Rd. (Forest Rd. 578), accessible by 2WD. Much of this gravel road follows the route of the Scotch Creek Toll Road, which ran from Rico to the Animas Valley in the late 1800s. The road continues over Bolam Pass to Colorado Highway 145 north of Rico. The upper section is 4WD only.The upper trailhead for the Hermosa Creek Trail begins 2 miles past the campground, near the confluence of the main and east forks of Hermosa Creek. This multiple-use trail heads back to the town of Hermosa through the Hermosa Roadless Area. The trail offers a technical single-track experience for mountain bikes (at 19 miles, taking most of a day, including shuttle drops). A few camping sites are available at the trailhead, which has a toilet, picnic tables, fire grates, corral, and parking area.

GuideCurrently Decommissioned
I stopped in because I heard it may be available. Still tables and fire rings. Bathroom is a mess
GuideOff the beaten path
This campground is basically abandoned so no upkeep of the bathrooms or water. The sites were all nice, only a few in a loop with plenty of space between. Only a handful of people here and it’s a bit hidden.
GuideNot so good.
Small. Doesn't appear to be maintained at all. Very over grown and very rocky Rd in. Tight for a camper. I suggest the dispersed sites on Hermosa Park Rd before you get to the campground. (Or after you pass the campground.) The site pictured is about 4 miles down Hermosa Park Rd before the Campground.
