I love this campground! The hosts were friendly and accessible. The toilets clean and as fresh smelling as they ever can be! We were there for 1 night only as we were going backpacking.

A favorite campground in a wonderful location. Lots of space between campsites. Pretty green space and woods between campsites and Elk Creek. Sites are generally pretty level. Campground is well maintained. No WiFi or cell service, but there is a restaurant about a mile away that has WiFi. Quiet. Not really a fun place for kids unless youre doing day trips to places.

Wicked campground, sites are well space, pit toilets are clean and well stocked, the well water was great. Close to some great trails, easy walk to a nearby creek. Hosts, Tami & Leah were awesome, they stopped by when we checked in and checked in on us pretty much daily. I did an overnight backpacking trip while we were there and the check in on my wife while I was out. I wish all camp hosts were this dedicated and involved.

Very nice campground with good spacing between sites. The hosts do a good job keeping the restrooms clean. Good location to access Antonio or Chama for the narrow gauge train. Good hiking and fishing in the area. Would be pretty in the fall.

Great campground in a beautiful area. Restrooms were very clean. Drinking water readily available. Camp spots are well separated so you have some privacy. Lots of nice hiking trails nearby. Overall the campground is clean and appears well maintained. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the camp spots are really better for RVs and trailers. There didnt seem to be any good flat spots for tents that werent on rocks, at least in and around spot 25. Overall, I would definitely recommend this campground

We cant say enough about this campground. The hosts were super welcoming and accommodating!! It was beautiful, spacious, and the bathrooms were kept immaculately clean and actually smelled nice, with an added touch of hand sanitizer! The toilet paper was thicker than all other campgrounds weve ever been to. We will definitely make this our go to family campground from here on out.

Camp hosts were great! Place was clean and pretty. I unfortunately didnt have the best neighbors. Lots of loud generators, kind of ruined the peaceful atmosphere.

Lots of space between campsites, campground was well maintained, restrooms nice and clean with no smell. Late May/Early June stay with only about 30% of campsites occupied. We caught a Brown Trout fish in the adjacent Elk Creek but alas only one. Campground hosts helpful and were out and about to check on things regularly. There is no water for RV fill-ups with a hose but there were plenty of drinking water fill-up spots. We got RV tank water in Antonito at City Hall. Dump at a local RV park. Later in summer the wildflowers are stupendous! Highly recommend!

Perfectly situated near a few beautiful hiking trails and fishing opportunities at Elk Creek and the Conejos River. Loved our stay her. Our spot was perfect, on the river. Although the private property fence line and signs detracted from some gorgeous photo opportunities.

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.
