We camped here previously in the summer of 2006. Landscaping was much better back then near the lake/river sites. Now they are mostly overgrown with weeds. There were also some large puddles of stagnant mosquito-infested water here and there throughout the grounds. Huge potholes and dips in the gravel and dirt roads were along the back roadway. We witnessed vehicle after vehicle bottoming-out on the roadway just behind our site. Aside from these landscaping issues, the area around the general store, bath house, rec hall and laundromat was beautiful. There was an abundance of flowers, and well-groomed paths. A gorgeous waterfall fountain with a pond is right next to the store with many bees, humming birds and butterflies around. The site we were assigned to had the power too far away. It was on the other side of our neighbor's site! They provided extension cords for $40 cash deposit, but we didn't have that much cash. Luckily, they moved us to a site with better landscaping, more shade and more room. However, I did notice some other campers having to use extension cords, so it wasn't just us with that problem. A lot of the firepits were too close to each other. Our neighbor's firepit was within 3-feet of ours. Many campers built their own firepits away from their neighbor's to get some distance. Restrooms were clean. However, soap, paper towels and hand dryers were NOT provided. Showers appeared clean, but we didn't use them since we have our own in our RV. Showers run off of tokens which must be purchased at the store (not mentioned on their website). Store was well-organized, however, a lot of items appeared to be out of stock (likely due to the busy 4th of July weekend). There always seemed to be 3-4 work campers behind the counter, which seemed to be more than enough. The store hours were from about 8am - 4pm which would be an inconvenience to those who like to get an early start on fishing, boating, ATVing, etc. and returning back at the dinner hour. There were about 23 work campers, and every one that we dealt with were friendly and very helpful. Our car battery died, and they gave us a jump. Breakfast is served by the work campers on weekend mornings. We enjoyed an all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage breakfast for $4 (the pancake overlaps the plate, so good luck eating more than one)! Overall, we liked the park more than we didn't. The biggest attraction is the lake, and all the water activities associated with it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park was a long way from anywhere - either 5 miles gravel or 10 blacktop with 3 miles gravel for an alternate. We tried to sitesee to Durango and Mesa Verde and it would add 45 minutes every trip. Little things added up to a less than great camp. No blowers or towels in restrooms, token run showers, which you need to purchase during store hours, and tent sites with fire pits right on top of each other. Other than that, pretty location to go and sit a spell, especially if you have a 4 wheel drive motor home. We camped here in a Tent.

No issues here. The sites are not well defined and the parking can be confusing, but it was dark when we arrived. Lots of vehicles other than campers makes for close contacts. Sites are gravel and grass. Nice staff. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed 10 days in this park. Owners & staff were very friendly. Site was level. Stream and pond fishing offered. Will definitely return next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent campground. The hosts are excellent and very accommodating. Owners are working hard to make improvements and are trying to give the park a homey atmosphere. They are succeeding. Easy access and within easy reach of local sightseeing locations. A little pricey, but hey, it's near Durango. Would definitely return, if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
