Nice campground and interesting visitors center with a 20 minute film about the canyon. Really beautiful canyon with lots of look outs with breathtaking views. There are 3 loops with loop B having 50 amp service. Noticed a number of sites with tent pads and quite a few pull thrus and the rest being back ins. Site B-21 can easily take a 40 ft. motor home with a medium size tow vehicle. We were able to put our awning out too. Some sites were very private with Gamble Oaks and other bushes surrounding the sites. We found that some of the back in sites were narrow making it hard to open all of your slides and awning. FILL UP your water tanks before coming, the water they provide is for drinking only. There is no dump station at the campground but they do have a list of places where you can dump your tanks. The list is posted at the fee station. We would stay here again, it was very quiet and relaxing. Camping fees are $18.00 or $12.00 with the Golden Age Pass. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very nice campground, the B loop has about 25 sites that have 30/50 amp electric (although no water since it has to be hauled up two miles from the canyon floor to the canyon rim). Vault toilets. Some pull-thrus and some back-ins, many were large enough for our 30 ft class A but a sign at the pay station advises that 37 ft is the maximum RV length and the website cautions against anything over 35 ft. There was some shrubery and shade in some sites, we saw many deer in our campsite. Our toad's battery gave out at one of the look-out spots on the rim scenic drive and the rangers were very helpful in trying to get us started and recommending a good auto parts store in Montrose. No dump facilities in the campground. We very much liked the park and the campground and appreciated the electric hook-up. One thing to note is that the five mile drive on Hwy 347 to the campground is rather steep, we just took our time and had no difficulties. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a family owned and run campground. They are very friendly and helpful. The campground is small, and slightly difficult to find. However, once there it is easy to navigate around to your site. You are escorted to the site. The sites are gravel but fairly level. The campground is very near attractions and shopping. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This little, tucked away park is nice and convenient to all of the attractions in the area. A creek flows adjacent to the park, and you can hear it babbling from your campsite. Restrooms were immaculate. Staff was very helpful, escorting visitors to their sites. Includes free wi-fi. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Small place in both number of sites as well as how close together the sites are. We were told we had a pull through, which we did, but the sites were so short it would just barely accommodate our 28 ft 5th wheel and I had to park my truck in the road in front or back. As everyone else had to do the same thing this made for some very crowded conditions. Not to mention that if you put out a slide you are literly 2-3 feet from the side of the rig next door. On the up side the staff was friendly and the place was clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Under new ownership last year and they are working hard to improve looks of park and assist guests. Very helpful and friendly. Lots of things to do in and around Montrose and park is easily located near most of them and downtown shopping. Many are within walking distance. Interior is gravel, but very neatly maintained. I would definitely stay there again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here with Passport America and paid a little extra for 50 amp. The bathrooms and laundry are immaculate. There is even a computer in the laundry. The camp office has a small library book exchange, and lots of local information. The campground is out of town, but it is very quiet and peaceful. The camp hosts are great and are very helpful with anything you need. They have a 3 day limit on Passport America, but if they are not full they will allow you more days on that rate. The views of the mountains are great. The sites are very long and all pull-throughs. The wi-fi signal was always strong. I just wish this campground was closer to my home so I could visit more often. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our third stay but the first review. Yes there are bugs in any agricultural area. That is why we always carry Yard Guard. As on the previous stays it was great. There are many things to do and see close to the park. (.5 to 2 hour drive) We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice park about halfway between Montrose and Ridgeway. Sites are gravel with a little grass in between. Staff was very nice, and really knowledgable about the area. Wi-fi worked fine from our site which was quite a ways from office. This is a Passport America park. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Large sites, easy access. Highway is busy an noisy, try to get a site away from it. We were in the first row and it was very noisy. Wi-Fi worked... but very slow and for some reason their ISP wouldn't allow me to send e-mail. The bugs were in full force, all of our group left sporting bug bites. The host should have sprayed the grass to get rid of the bugs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is located just west of US550. Interior roads and sites are gravel with some small trees. Satellite TV reception is no problem. WiFi supplied worked great. Office staff very friendly and helpful. Accepts Passport America. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are in a 40' motorhome with 4 slides and fit well in a premium site. There are sites without big trees and with big trees. We prefer no trees. The lady who checked us in was a little strict about the rules. She went over everyone of them. Some sites have fire rings and you can get wood in the office for $4.00 a bundle. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I had a good experience with the check in. Friendly people. All sites are full hookup and all are pull through. A few sites are not as level as could be. Side by side hookups, works well when you pull all the way forward. (Not all RVers know this.) Quiet park, meaning no organized pot lucks or activities. Stayed all summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice place to stay in. Clean park, polite and helpful staff. Left early due to an emergency and the staff was very polite and assisted me in getting a refund on the last two nights of my reservation that I was unable to use. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice campground. The views of the surrounding mountains are great. It has large level gravel sites. Each site has grass, a shade tree, and picnic table. There are also fire rings at some of the sites for campfires. There is also a small playground. We liked this park because it wasn't crowded like some of the other parks. You feel like you have your own space. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here under our Coast to Coast membership. Rate should be $10 a night but they have added a $4 surcharge for electric (30 amp) My opinion is that the surcharge is to make the rate the same as the Passport America rate. At check in we were told that they are encouraging people to use PA rather than other memberships. The park roads are gravel as are the sites but they are large and will easily accommodate any size rig. The pool & spa were both closed during our visit in late September. Located about 9 miles south of Montrose and 25 miles north of Ouray this park is convenient to the local attractions. It does offer up some great views of the San Juan mountains but it is off Hwy 550 so traffic noise is a little distracting. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great views of the mountains if you get the sites up top. Since it was not crowded we could get lots of space around our site, which was the main advantage since sites are quite basic. There is some construction going in that may diminish the views. Go now! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a fairly nice campground located near Montrose, Co. Although we booked it through Coast-To-Coast which was supposed to be an all-inclusive fee, the owner chose to add on an additonal $4.00 fee for electricity. The hot tub, which was listed, was broken and had apparently been so for a ling time as the room it was in was being used for storage. The bathroom facilities and laundry were very clean and well kept. Management was friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This rate is Passport America. Therefore, we were in the budget sites rather than the premium. That was not a problem because we were only over-nighting. There is a surcharge for utilities but that was included in the PA rate. The lady checking us in was very friendly and escorted us to our site. They have a barn with activities going on sometimes, a pool (both indoor and outdoor) and other facilities. The site was gravel and level with a strip of grass next to it. If someone had been next to us, it would be close, but there is room for slides. Good satellite reception. No cable but 4 or 5 local stations. Wi Fi is a good free connection. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Well kept and clean. Laundry with television and computer area. Sites were spacious and level. We were not full time RVs at the time but will stay there a month later in the year. Easy driving distance to many good sites to the South; Ridgeway,Quray,Teluride, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here using Passport America so our rate was half price otherwise I am not sure the full rate would have been worth it as most of the facilities were closed for the season. This park could be a really nice park, but it needs some TLC. The manager was grumpy and whenever we asked a question about where things were she said she had no idea. A good manager should be able to help guests with information about the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We don't require an RV park that provides a complete entertaiment package, but rather use it as a base camp for other activitiess. We have stayed at this park in other years and like it. It has a great view of the mountains to the south, and is relatively close to other places that we wanted to visit like Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Ouray and Box Canyon at Ouray. We also went to Silverton and Durango but elected to stay in a motel at Durango, so we could get an early start on the Durango Silverton Railroad. Montrose is a nice city with the old reliable Wally World on the south side of town. By the way there is a great 50's dinner near the Wally World that is lots of fun. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a Coast to Coast & Passport America park. Sites are gravel, some level, some not so level. Sites are large enough for big rigs. Roads are gravel & wide enough. There are a few trees, but they do not cause a problem. It is a good place to stay while sightseeing in the area. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
On the plus side: sites are gravel (which keeps down dust) with shade trees on the perimeter and a nice common area in the center with grass and two picnic tables and shade. Premium sites back onto the river (with the rear of Target on the opposite bank). Some sites have their own picnic table. Staff is friendly. Strong and free wi-fi connection. On the minus side: no activity building, no laundry, no restrooms (only a pair of absolutely horrid porta-potties in the common area), no shower, no store, no pool, no book exchange -- no amenities at all. Passport America is accepted weekdays only. It is handy to town, but we won't be staying here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I drove through this park as it had not been rated in some time. I spoke with the camp hosts to get the figures of $35 nightly. She also stated that monthly rates were from $425 - $475 plus electric. All the sites are on gravel as there is no grass in the CG and there is adequate spacing between the sites. The higher priced sites directly back up to the river. The location is on the far south end of Montrose and is perfect for using as a base for sightseeing. From first blush, this is a park that I would recommend to others. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Came in as Passport America. This park is SO QUIET (well managed). I would even stay here as a NON-PA after my 4 day max. was exceeded. $30/day with 50amp electric or $178.50 weekly. Only 1/2 mile from highway but the animal life and scenery at park is spectacular. Great Satellite TV & Satellite Internet too. High speed Internet available in laundry room We camped here in a Motorhome.
We loved staying here. Very quiet and easy access to a great bike trail, Wal-Mart, etc..., but felt very private. The sites were very level the river was very peaceful. They didn't have a lot of amenities, at the time, but said they were working on it. Very friendly "mom and pop" park. Stupendous scenery within a 30 minute drive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A truly outstanding RV resort with caring and decicated management and workers. Long, wide, very nicely landscaped sites with plenty of green space between. Good cable and good wi-fi. Excellent water pressure and electricity. We visited all the other RV parks in Montrose and, without doubt, this is the best. We would stay here again for a day, week, month, or season. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice park in every way! Tom the owner is nice and appreciates your business. Sites are pull thrus, gravel and very level. Nice table and grass next to site. utilities were excellent and in right position. Bath and showers are spotless! Has a lot of seasonal rigs but they are clean and neat. Will stay again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We found this park with no trouble as indicated in previous reviews - the problems with the sign had been fixed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our site was level with a nice grassy area with picnic table. The dog walk was well kept and a bonus was an open field nearby where we could let her off-leash and play ball to give her much needed exercise. The park was convenient to everything and very quiet so we stayed here four nights and used Montrose as our base to explore Telluride, Ouray, Silverton and of course, the Black Canyon. We would stay here again. (888) 249-9554 We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet this park was. Bath and showers were large and spotless! The office staff wasn't very friendly at check-in or when I went back to them to get another site. (The first site they gave us was covered in dog poop!) When I went to office, the response was "oh, that cannot be". they finally gave us another site and we enjoyed the night. We will stay there again just for the clean bath and showers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Gravel roads and sites. Fairly level sites, grass plots between each site. Lots of large, mature trees and all are well trimmed, clear of units. Wi-fi was slow, but free. Friendly hosts. Very clean facilities. Big laundry available. Picnic tables, propane, well stocked store. Attractive and clean pool and children's play area. Only knock is difficulty in finding the place. The street sign for Cedar Street is easy to miss (low and covered with brush from Business 50). RV park can also be accessed from the truck route. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park, Fence that was in other post is gone. Good quality power (on meter) Level sites pull thru. Friendly staff.Everything very clean. It is easy to miss turn off 50. Go beyond San Juan St. to Cedar st. Turn North. If you are coming to this park from south on Highway 550 TAKE YOUR TIME that was one of the twisty est road I have ever been on. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Limited signage to campground could miss the road to it if not careful. Open campground with limited signs to say where to stop and register. Owners friendly and efficient. Access roads to site were well maintained but a little narrow on turns due to fences. Sites are gravel with grass and are all pull-thrus. The whole site was well maintained. The owners are currently putting in additional sites and slowly developing the campground into a deeded plot resort. Quiet despite being near town center. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The new owners bought the place in May or June. We made reservations with the previous owners who did not keep their reservation system up to date too well. When we arrived, they really didn't have a full hookup site for us. They did have a site that only had water and electric, which was good enough for us, and there was a sewer dump on the way out. The new owners went out of their way to make sure our stay was good. This location appears to be a former KOA. There are LOTS of nice big shade trees and lush green grass when we were there. The swimming pool was good size. Bathrooms were clean. We would stay there again if in the area. I think once the new owners clean up the reservation mess that was left to them, they will be able to keep on top of it all. We camped here in a Motorhome.
