Pagosa River Campground in Pagosa Springs, CO came to our rescue when we were "kicked out" of the Alpen Rose RV Park in Durango, CO. Please see our comments about that under the Alpen Rose review. While some of the sites are better than others, the management worked with us on short notice and provided us with a nice spot. There are many sites on the river and we could have moved there, but chose to stay where we were at until we could go back to the Durango, CO area. The staff was extremely informative about various hikes and jeep trails that we were interested. We understand that the campground has been sold and is under contract and it is unclear whether it will be available next summer. We hope so as we plan to stay there again if possible. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here in August 2005 and had a good experience. Restrooms were clean and staff friendly. However if you are expecting a "resort", you will be disappointed. There are very nice riverfront sites and pond sites. Good fishing in the river. There are a few seasonal people here, but not many. The minuses are there are RV's stored in the middle of the camp. Also, the playground and pool aren't that great. Overall we were happy with our experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Spent one night here based on the very high ratings in the TL and Woodall guides. Employees were nice enough, but the campground was a dump. The pull thru site we were assigned was poorly designed and difficult to access with a fifth wheel. There were full timers right in the middle of the campground with unsightly junk and clothes lines. The advertised pool was one of those round, four foot, above ground backyard models. There were several old broken down cars and several old rusty trailers stored in the middle of the campgground. In spite of the negative points, there were a few nice sites located on the San Juan River. This place definitely didn't deserve the ratings. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

There were a lot of full timers in the park and their sites were not well kept. There seemed to be an excess of rusted equipment and vehicles in the park. The garbage cans were not emptied on a regular basis. We had booked several sites for a family reunion requesting that all the sites be together. This was not the case when we checked in. The owners were not very friendly to the younger members of our group. The swimming pools temperature was colder than the rivers running through the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This appears to have been an older K.O.A., but has been very well cared for. Some sites are within 15 feet of the San Juan river, and others border the small private lake with paddle boats for rent. The staff was very friendly, as were the other guests. The park is very clean and quiet with no road noise or barking animals. There are plenty of sites with full or partial shade, all have fire rings as well as picnic tables. We have stayed here twice, and will go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
