LegendGreat BLM cg
Tucked along the San Juan river, this CG is also the rafter boat launch for river trips. Loop B is the larger loop for the larger TTs and RVs. Loop A is for the small tenters and has a length restriction for RVs. $15/$7.50 senior, water spigots available, vault toilets, dumpsters. Cell signal is fair on T-Mobile.
GuideAn oasis
Was late and quickly running out of options when we found this treat. We pitched in the A loop along a natural large stone wall. A perfect setting for the night

LegendPetroglyphs!
Came here to see petroglyphs which are next to the campground along the San Juan River.
The campground is $15/night, first come first served and can accommodate big rigs.
The sites are dirt and gravel and each has a fire pit and picnic table. Area was dusty and very sunny though some sites offer some shade.
The campground is not far off of the highway so there is some road noise. There is a boat ramp for river access. There were quite a few fishers so must be good fishing area though I don’t really know.
There is no garbage and water is available seasonally, but pit toilets are available so pack in and pack out and bring lots of water.
The campground was clean and the petroglyphs were cool, it's just too bad that people vandalized them. Good place to stay for a day or two.
