Very nice campground in the valley just north of Durango. Sites were level and gravel. Plenty of room between sites, although most seem to be side by side. Excellent office staff; very helpful (work campers). Wi-Fi worked good as did utilities. Would come back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful setting. Nice sites. Entire park is well kept and very well organized. Managers were great and friendly. Breakfast that is offered was fun. You get to meet other people in the park. Laundry, bathrooms, and showers are very nice. You can tell the owners and managers put a lot of time and effort into this place. Will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Another season at the best campground in Durango!! Just got back from a short trip and had a blast as always. The only thing that was hurting this campground in the past was the spotty Wi-Fi, but they have a new vendor for it and it's great now! No problems at all. Of course everyone that works there is top notch and super friendly. The owners are great and constantly making improvements and additions. Looking forward to the pizza oven! We'll be back at the end of May for sure! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a bare bones campground. We arrived in Durango with no reservations. Called a couple of campgrounds and they were all full. We were told by one of the campgrounds that Cottonwood did have sites available. We called: and the they did. We arrived to be greeted by a very nice lady and her husband. They let us have our pick of the sites. The park is old, and dusty, but quiet. The only problem that I had was the price: extremely over priced. But beggars can't be choosers. We would probably not stay here again: only because of the price. it would be a nice stopping place at about $20 per night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Mixed bag at this KOA. First, it's 5 long miles outside of Durango perched on top of a hill in the middle of scrub brush and gravel. If you are seeking pleasing aesthetics this is not the place for you. KOA is running a 'buy one get one night' special in August so I asked at the front desk if I could get that. The teenage boy working check-in was clueless And asked the manager. The manger seemed put out and told him that they were 'too busy' to participate in that. I can only conclude that this KOA has a captive market and is therefore not compelled to offer a high quality product to their customers. The swimming pool was nice. Sites near the front have a lot of road noise but its quiet in the back. Go to this campground if you need an overnight in Durango while in transit but my recommendation is that you do not make this a destination. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Prior reviews reflect our experience. Our rate was an early season special for a non-riverfront, 30 amp site. Sites are gravel, fairly close together, very small "patio" areas, lack privacy, lots of trees, some grass, no highway noise, great Wi-Fi and cable TV. We will come again before Memorial Day and after Labor Day. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a lovely campground right on the river. It is located about 14 miles north of town, which is a little inconvenient for shopping or dining, but it is well worth it! It is very quiet, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a nice gift shop on site, swimming pool, small convenience store, cable TV--nice amenities when you are "camping". We would stay here again for sure. We loved it! We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you're looking for a clean, first class camping experience right on the beautiful Animas river, this is the best of all of the campgrounds we scoped out! About 9 miles to downtown Durango, but just far enough out of town to be perfect. Laundry facilities super clean, cabins for rent, staff top notch and super friendly, and helpful for tips on jeep tours, the train, zip lining. You name it. The spots are a bit close on the river, but since you back in, you still have plenty of privacy for a great fire right next to the river. The other sites are certainly tidy, shaded and spread out, but the river sites are by far the primo. We stayed for five days. The only reason we didn't rate a perfect ten was that they charge $5 per dog (one time fee). We clean up after our pooches with our own dog supplies. Seemed a little nickel and dime. But otherwise a perfect experience! Thank you ladies!!! Especially the work camp hosts! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have stayed at Durango RV park for four different summer vacations from 2001 to 2010, and it's always good to return to a safe familiar place. It's like our home away from home. We tow our Jeep and take full advantage of the trails and views within our daily range. We have enjoyed the scenery on US-550 dozens of times to Silverton and Ouray and if you're really brave, don't miss the Alpine loop. If you're really really brave, test your Jeep's endurance and driving skills from Telluride over Imogene Pass to Ouray. Enjoy the scenic trails in LaPlata Canyon. Visit the Telluride hydro plant and the Ames or Ouray hydro plants. At the end of the day, have dinner at the Silverton Brown Bear or the dozens of restaurants in Durango. Durango RV Park has lots with trees and shade and a mountain view where you can see the weather conditions all the way to Engineer Mountain. Your camp site is a private and quiet place where you can enjoy your lawn chairs with no bugs and no smoke from campfires. Enjoy the hummingbirds, flowers, farm, mining and industrial antiques at an old-iron lover's paradise. Easy access to shopping at Aztec, Farmington, Cortez, Durango, Bayfield or Ignatio. It's in the middle of it all with low monthly rates, friendly hosts, an easy path to DirecTV or Dish Network, DSL phone connections, laundry and mail. If you are into skiing or other winter fun, they are open all year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park, unfortunately, didn't live up to expectations from previous reviews and from their website. We were taken back by the appearance as we drove in. We thought we had pulled into a junkyard at first, only to find out this was indeed the park. To be fair, there are two entrances, and the north entrance is the one I'm referring to. The south entrance takes you through a "nicer" part of the park. Many permanent residents, and several were in rather old dilapidated trailers. We had to back into our site and our back window overlooked several rusted out 1940's vintage farm trucks and tractors (30 feet away) with grass overgrown around them. There are no bathrooms, showers or laundry here. There also is some kind of oil field facility across the road that runs all night and sounds like a train engine. Very noisy and didn't get much sleep because of it. On the positive side, the owner is very friendly, the sites were level, power good(50 amps). However the water pressure was pretty low. I had to remove my pressure regulator to get what little pressure they did have. Lots of trees, but the sites are pretty close together. In addition, you are almost 15 miles from Durango, so if you're looking to do anything in this part of the state, you're going to have to drive. Next time, we'll spend a little more money to get in Durango, and not having to drive back and forth will probably save money. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I stayed at this campground as a one-night stopover while traveling through Colorado. The campground hosts were both friendly and helpful. The site was easy to get in and out of and the electrical hook-up worked fine. The vault toilets were very clean. There are no showers at this campground. I would have stayed longer and explored the hiking trails had it not been for the rainy weather. This is a very scenic and quiet park. I would definitely consider camping here again, We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The season is mid-May to mid-Sept. From Durango, go 17 miles north on Highway 550, Turn east (right) onto F.R. 671 (there is a sign) and there is a horse rental corral at the corner, go about one mile on paved one-lane, two-way road. It is very close with a big rig because you will go between two steel posts but it's doable. Look ahead for oncoming vehicles on this stretch. The campground roads are gravel and one lane with one-way signs. It is in a beautiful setting. Only electric motors are allowed on the lake which is trout-stocked. There is a boat ramp and picnic area. The campground receives very heavy usage so if you don't have reservations get there early in the day. 26 sites are reservable and 17 sites have 30/50A electric. The vault toilets are kept very clean and odor-free. The hosts are very friendly. There are no showers, no dump station, no water fill so come prepared. There are water spigots throughout the campground but you can't fill an RV or do any kind of bathing/hair-washing or teeth-brushing, dish-washing which is great! Those activities make a very unsanitary mess of water spigot areas! The spigots are only for filling a pot or small container. Firewood is sold and if a host sees a log overhanging the fire pit you're out of the park - good rule for cutting down on large fires. The sites are mostly in shade and a handful are on the lake. There are various prices - lakeside #39-45 are $22 plus $5 if they have electric. Other electric sites are $17 plus $5 electric. Non-electric sites are $17. Check out is Noon. Verizon phone and air card work great! Elevation is around 8,000 ft. Golden Age Passports are accepted but not for the electric add-on. Approximately one-half of the sites will accommodate a 40' motorhome but since the sites are along a single lane road and there are many trees you have to be careful. This is our third visit and we'll return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is still the best campground/RV park in Durango by far. Nice and quiet. About 1 1/2 miles off of highway 160 West of town. Wi-Fi works very well. Super clean bathrooms and showers. Staff, both owners and workampers, are very helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice, shady & quiet during our stay. Park helpers were exceptionally nice. Pet friendly. Great place to stay while visiting attractions near Durango.We stayed 3 days and loved it. No cable TV, but there are 5 over air channels available with a little antennae turning and we did not miss cable at all. On my list of top 10 in NW states. They closed this year on September 1.

The park itself has nice shade, plenty of room, clean restrooms and showers, and the 4th of July parade was fun. That said, the restrooms and showers are closed at inconvenient times for cleaning, the staff can sometimes be overwhelming, and the wireless is patchy and goes in and out, and there is hardly no cellular service. Another thing that we noticed at certain times was septic smell throughout the resort. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites are narrow gravel side by side. They advertise Wi-Fi but we didn't talk to anyone able to log on; we were in site 56 with no Wi-Fi. We asked for a site that would receive satellite TV off our roof top dish but we never picked up a satellite because of trees. Cable TV was limited and poor quality, we had better luck with our over the air antenna. If you are in the row closest to the train tracks and leave the park to your left there is a hole for water drainage at the 90 degree turn and the rear wheels on big rigs will go into. In the 4 days we stayed we saw every large RV leaving drop into this hole. I told a worker they need to put a grate over this to prevent damage from the twisting that occurs when a rig puts the left rear tire into this. The worker admitted it was a bad situation. We pulled out to the left to avoid the hole. The park is clean and attractive enough but at over $40 per night not worth it. Would not stay here again, there are better parks in the area for the money. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice shady spots, not that we needed them in October, good hookups. The DSNG railroad runs right through the park, so nice evening gatherings with neighbors to watch the trains come back down. Really wonderful town, with great fishing (Gold Medal Trout water), hiking, cycling and all this available on a paved trail that runs through the town, about 15 minutes from the campground to the trail site. A really big plus is the free, that's right, free town trolley stops right at the campground and will take you anywhere in the town you want to go. Would happily stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We called and made reservations several days before. We asked if they had a pull through which would accommodate a 40' rig, and tow car. The answer "YES". The reality "NO". We had to unhook to even be able to park. RVs were packed like sardines, with narrow drive ways. We also asked if WiFi was available at the site. The answer "YES". The reality "NO". The signal was low and speed was terrible. We had planned to stay two nights, but left after one. Would not recommend this park and would not go there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice location. No amenities in the park other than hookups. A fence is being erected and a small office building? is under construction. Hook up locations are shared between sites - so half sites are head in. Considering current state of park's amenities, it is overpriced. Nice to be across from Trimble Hot Springs, but 50% discount was only for one use, and we stayed 4 days. Other discount did not apply since we are seniors. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great little park across the street from a wonderful hot spring facility. Friendly camp hosts who offered us choice of spots and provided us with local information. Although it was located right on a main route, traffic was almost nil after dark and was never a problem. Would have rated it higher, but there are no facilities located in the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Rate is $45, plus tax for no amenities at all except a 50% discount at the hot springs across the street. Very friendly manager and willing to help with whatever you might need. This is a relatively new park within the last couple of years, and they are 'slowly' trying to make it better but if you want a 'no frills' park, then this is ok. Other parks in the area offer more amenities and are similar in price. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
