The Matterhorn was a nice quiet spot, close to Telluride and easy to access.

Our campsite was nestled in an aspen forest. We opted for a site without full hook ups, therefore, the space we had was quite private. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. The location is very convenient to Telluride, while being away from the touristy feel of town. There is a beautiful lake 1 mile away for paddle boarding. We had several choices for jeep trips and mountain biking very close. I highly recommend this campground!

We stayed at site 025 on 8/13 on our way through Colorado on a cross country roadtrip. The sites were close together and lacked privacy, but we felt safe as two young women. The area is beautiful and I would love to camp here again, although would probably try to find a more private site/one better suited to tent camping. There is no tent pad and we had a difficult time getting our stakes in the ground. The shower facilities are free, warm, large, and clean which was a wonderful surprise and is much more than I could say about most campground showers we used on this trip.

The excellent host, "Fish", was VERY helpful with our mixed up reservation. He was also a pleasure to talk with...especially, about Antartica. He, along with the other hosts really made our stay at Matterhorn!

Our experience at Matterhorn campground was superb! The location is gorgeous. Camp hosts were friendly and extremely helpful. Facilities and camp sites were well maintained. Restrooms were dated but very clean. Nearby hiking options were excellent.

Site #19 (non-electric) was very nice, offering a pretty level parking spot, a nice tent pad, and some shade with good privacy on the entrance door side for RVs. The campground seemed well-maintained and managed by the camp hosts, with access to bathrooms and showers. My only complaint is that people tend to drive their vehicles too fast through campgrounds like this with limited sight distance and children running about.

Would definitely recommend this campground! Nice amenities like showers & flush toilets available. Easy access to trails, lakes and only 25 minutes from Telluride. Its a small campground, but our site (#9) had plenty of privacy and a nearby river made for beautiful white noise at night.

This is our all time favorite campground in Colorado. Thank you so much. The campground hosts this year were first class and so nice and helpful. We appreciate all they do. There are a lot (many many many) of outside campers coming into this campground and using the shower and bathroom facilities. Typically in the morning the cars are lined up outside the bathroom. This makes it difficult for the campers at the campground and also for the campground hosts who have to continuously clean up after them. The outsiders are supposed to pay an $8 dollar fee to use the showers but I could see inside the small metal box where they are supposed to put money and most never paid at all. Maybe limit outsiders to early afternoon hours not during peak times (mornings) when folks in the campground use the bathrooms/showers. They need to pay before they take the shower. Or do not let outsiders use the bathrooms. Thank you. Bruce and Marianne Marsh

I just had one night at Matterhorn and look forward to going back. The campsites were lovely, with varying degrees of privacy, and the groves of aspen and high mountain peaks surrounding the campground are stunning. The bathrooms were clean, and I was especially delighted to have a shower at the end of a long, hot day of driving. The highway quieted right down when it got dark, which made it wonderful for sleeping.

The most beautiful scenery. The campground host (young man) was very accommodating in helping us change our site. We needed a tent pad and not the pull through that were put in. The bathroom /shower was a pleasant surprise. Love this part of Colorado.
@AlanW5588627 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #25
Matterhorn is a wonderful place for us. We love the high country and the quiet lushness of the forest. The campground has been our favorite for almost 20 years. It is much busier now that in years past, and being successful getting a reservation online is tricky. The campground hosts were relaxed and just engaged enough to make it successful.

Decent size camp ground, but not too big to be over crowded. Spaces are nice, most are shaded. Bathrooms were clean. Only one shower worked on the womens side. Camp host was great and super sweet. Short drive from Telluride, and you can hear road noise but it's not terrible.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
