Beautiful spot, but ZERO maintenence from the host service. No toilet paper,no cleaning of sites ehich is ridiculous considering the price of an overnight campsite in CO!!! Be aware that the Conejos river runs very fast here and is difficult to fish at this location. Also, reservations say only one vehicle bit everyone this weekend had 2-3 trucks parked at each site (all campers were very respectful of each other).

Beautiful place to stay. Biggest problem was the road 250 needs to be graded, very rough
@StevenH4575591 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #1
Great location. Campsite(#1) was well kept and fire pit was clean and grill functioned as designed. 3rd trash bin was not available for a couple days after bin 2 was full. Toilet paper ran out on day of departure. A little more attention would make a huge difference. Will stay again next yr.

One most likely camps here for the excellent fishing opportunitieswhich are pretty good! The campground host is overstretched, however, and has difficulties keeping up with the postings at the individual camp sitesnot updated for up to ten days! Its a wonderful location, however, and is worth the trip! Also, the road is rough, but that keeps out the riff-raff!

Camp Hosts Were Awesome!

Very private wooded campground
@ScottH7806643 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #17
The campground is wonderful. Peaceful and spacious.There is no water, no trash removal, no TP in the pit toilets, and no campground host. There weren't any envelopes in the kiosk for anyone to deposit money or pay for the FCFS spots. Despite having reservations, all the sites appeared to be unmarked and I'm not sure how any reservations were enforced. We were able to stay in the site we reserved but if someone was in your spot, you'd be SOL as there was no internet to prove you had a reservation.

Peaceful, quiet, clean bathroom, and tons of birds. Sites are mostly well spaced from each other. No camp host meant no firewood, but a sign posted said we could gather any dead wood we found, so it worked out. You can hear the sound of the river from nearly every site. Drove in from Monte Vista through Jasper where the dirt road gets narrow in places and some reports say it gets slick when wet. The other direction in (from Antonito) is fine even in rain. Just take it easy. Long journey to get here but WELL worth it. Scenery is amazing.

The camp host, Tim, was absolutely amazing. The Vault toilet was impeccable! Not to mention, the absolute breathtaking beauty of the place.
@StevenR7674985 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #4
Site 4 is not a backin site The host was top notch
@MelanieL647622 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #11
Tim and his pup, Duke, were the absolute best hosts Ive EVER encountered. Beautiful campsites, more remote location and right on the river. Cant beat it
@LEVIB478897535 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #11
The campground was nice, we met some really great people who were camped next to us. The camp host was great, I believe his name was Tim, he kept the cleanest vault toilets Ive been in.
@EdieHF50BC6946 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #17
Beautiful place on the river with large sites and clean facilities.
@JohnN4346623 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #9
Tim (site host) was awesome!!!He was very accommodating for anything we needed.Bathrooms were very clean!
@KenF2D41778CDE · Camped on Jun 3, 2024 at Campsite #17
Spacious camp site on the Conejos River, Amazing! Miles of Jeep trails, Mixed lake and Spectacle lake offer great fishing, and a special thanks to Tim and Duke, wonderful camp host!

Good clean campground and beautiful area. My only problem is the multitude of ATVs. Just dont understand the hype with these loud, annoying dust creating devices.
@ReneaC40341E19 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #5
Vault toilets were very clean. Love the Conejos River. Campground was clean and well maintained.
@RachelC2171796 · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #15
This was a beautiful site. It is a long trek up a dirt road, which I was looking forward to for the remoteness of it--and it did meet that expectation. The river was lovely. The flies, though, were not. We were bombarded with them. Clouds of them. It was like they were having a fly conference. It wasn't just this campground though. We went on a short hike in the area, and we were followed up the switchback by our own personal fly groupies. Beautiful location... but with all the wet weather (maybe that was the issue?), we couldn't stand staying as long as we had booked for and ended up changing sites to another campground a few hours away where we were visited by maybe two flies. They may have been super committed groupies that followed us...

Beautiful area! Hiked up to Bear Lake which I highly recommend. The view of the lake is just amazing. We had to drive a little way to the trail head. Beautiful river running along the campground. Reasons I'm rating this 3 stars are: 1) FLIES... holy cow! the flies were terrible. We were literally sitting in a swarm all day long every day, and they bite! There was not a moment of relaxation until after sunset 2) camp host was really hard to locate. camp host was not on site out here which is fine, but it shouldn't be advertised (and even confirmed in reservation with their site #) on the website that there is one and that they provide wood. Finally met camp host when he drove around later the next day to check the campground, but he had no wood. Directed us to place that might have wood. There wasn't any there, so we had to make the 18 mile trip into town for it.

Beautiful place! Enjoyed Fishing and relaxing! Clean campgrounds !
@SheilaM8334852 · Camped on May 29, 2023 at Campsite #15
Very beautiful campground on the Conejos River. We really enjoyed it. The 18 miles of dirt road were in fairly decent shape and they were grading it, but it is a bit long. Worth the effort, though.
@RonaldK6773497 · Camped on Aug 29, 2022 at Campsite #11
Great spot wonderfully clean
@BrianT1694442 · Camped on Aug 24, 2022 at Campsite #1
Love this campground. Far from paved road, next to river.
I fly fished above and below the campground for a day and caught 27 trout (granted 25 were under 12”), from the Pinnacles to the big meadow area. So it’s a good location if you’re camping. Just bring everything you need, it’s a long drive back to a real store. I assumed I could get beer in Platoro, and was definitely wrong about that.

Very nice campground with a great camp host. Some of the cleanest bathrooms I have seen in a national park campground. Nice hikes around and there is a good burger place up the road in Platoro.
@JohnW4841416 · Camped on Jul 24, 2022 at Campsite #15
Beautiful site with great water and clean vault toilets. The only downside was the road to the campsite. It was full of chatter and difficult when pulling a trailer.

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.
