Host did a fantastic job monitoring and keeping everything in order. Well done

@JohnD1553494 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #25

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!

@SharonFAE5BB9E · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #26

very pretty location. The free tram to Telluride is a 15 minute drive includes free parking. would be nice to have more full hook up sites on property to reserve.

@JoyB5282609 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #24

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.

@WesleyK2721524 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #19

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.

@MelanyW958BEE3 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #9

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.

@BruceM1268542 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #19

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

Incredible campground

@TimothyM325903 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #19

Most amazing campsite with great amenities! Hiking trails directly from the site and a quick ride to the gondola to visit Telluride. Highly recommend this campground!

@JamesF9843907 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #16

@DebraK99593178 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #17

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.

@DonaldL3C8354A · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #15

Road bed horrible, potholes the size of the black bear. All good with that exception.

@JanetD9735856 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #18

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.

@MichaelR189137 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #10

Beautiful campground with great facilities and friendly hosts.

@BryanT3973907 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #19

All good except women's bathroom needed maintenance - sink clogged, unacceptable shower water pressure

@DavidG5648223 · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #7

Host was very put out with our questions and made a comment that if she didnt have grey hair already ..More than 2 people needed her assistance and she didnt seem to want to be bothered to explain or help .

@NicholasP85609 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #15

The Camp Host was great she went out of her way to help us.

@NicoleJ8ECC7A9 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #17

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.

@AlisonEEB2E602 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #15

Great location! Lovely camp hosts. Amenities were clean.

@MattS1245099 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #20

The campground was fairly nice, but the host at the front was troublesome. She kept stopping by everyones camp and making up ridiculous rules. One day she decided that hammocks are not allowed, even though that is not a rule at all. Another time she was obsessed that the grass stayed nice, but no this wasnt nice grass or long wild grass, it was gross dandelions that were growing out of rock beds.

@AdamK2705815 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #10

Definitely one of the best camping spots Ive ever stayed. Super nice camp host, ridiculously clean bathrooms, and in an amazing and scenic area with trails super close to a beautiful view (Priest Lake). Ill be a frequent camper here!

@WayneR1572217 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #26

The campground is in a beautiful location and we enjoyed our stay here. Pretty level spot for our 26' RV and even had hookups. Campground host was available and helpful. We drove to Mountain Village, parked and took the free Gondola and spent the day in Telluride.

@SheriD9556F040 · Camped on Jun 8, 2024 at Campsite #26

@ChazInSoCal - CA

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
