The hosts were on top of things and the campground looks great.

@DavidH4978786 · Camped on Jun 14, 2025 at Campsite #4

Cleanest bathrooms and camp sites. Camp hosts were very friendly and most helpful.

@VictorT2B617DF · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #23

Beautiful campground. The hosts are amazing. We stayed in loop B. Be aware that sites 23 and 24 are a few feet away. The rest of the sites on that loop are excellent.

Camp ground well layed out and well maintained, pit bathrooms were as clean as i have ever seen, camp hosts were excellent, we will be back again next year

1. Camp host were very nice.2. It is excellent that some forest service (including this one) has electric installed. The forest service needs to add this at other campgrounds.3. Most of the site are large to accommodate bigger campers.

Beautiful campground not far from Telluride. Camp hosts were very helpful and friendly. May have to visit again!

@TracyC8170684 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #12

Wow. We loved our time here and will be back. Camp hosts were amazing. Bathrooms were spotless. Snag one of the FCFS spots in the back along the river. Privacy and no highway noise w electricity

@KathleenB29531 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #4

One of our favorite places. The hosts this year are very friendly and are doing a great job keeping everything clean.

@MichaelH990269 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #6

We stayed in Loop A, #6 where we had a view of the Dolores River. Although the space was very near the road, it was the only spot at the end of Loop A. Restrooms were very convenient and were the cleanest we have seen. The campground host was very friendly and helpful. We will be going back!

Beautiful area.

@LaurieH1733167 · Camped on May 25, 2025 at Campsite #15

Beautiful site by the river. Great host. Centrally located to the things we wanted to do.

@MariaB3389571 · Camped on Sep 4, 2024 at Campsite #13

Lovely site. Peaceful and clean. The toilets were very clean and did not smell at all. Dave and his wife (we did not meet) keep the place in great order. Thank you!

Nice CG with electricity.

@MadisonHC90858 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #15

Stayed here with a friend of mine, it was super clean and quiet. It was right by a little river and not to far from telluride! Doesnt have any service but if you download your map before hand you dont need it.

@GinaLEA5A901D2 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #12

BEAUTIFUL!! Nice level and super clean spaces. Restrooms super clean and the hosts were great at communicating and easily available. Campground also situated so close to a number of wonderful UTV trails. Would stay here, again, without hesitation.

@JenniferM11870 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #20

Great location not far from Telluride. Beautiful view, plenty of space, and close to the restroom which was clean. Sites were a little unkept - we were there during summer. Would have liked to have water, but I understand that is not as common in campgrounds in this area as it is in my home state.

@DianneN6CDD4B8 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #13

We had such a great time we ended up staying 4 nights. The campground was very clean and host was so friendly

@KathleenM78273 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #6

The campground hosts keep the grounds and the restrooms in excellent condition. Thank you!

@CaroleABC228BA · Camped on Jun 26, 2024 at Campsite #4

Nice setting. Very clean vault toilets.We enjoyed visiting the Trout Lake trestle and hiking nearby.

@PaulI5ABA11ABB · Camped on Jun 18, 2024 at Campsite #11

Loved the campground. Very clean, easy to maneuver a trailer, good spacing and access to the lakeshore.

@HollyS6412107 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #21

Every summer this is one campground we always reserve. Its our favorite! Big nice campsites, clean restrooms and on the river, and the lake. Gorgeous scenery.

@TheresaP133746 · Camped on May 26, 2024 at Campsite #15

What a great little campground! We had the perfect site along the river. It is hard to find places off the beaten path with electricity that will accommodate our 45 foot diesel pusher. This place is a gem and we would love to visit again.

@JAMESS8693241 · Camped on May 21, 2024 at Campsite #13

Few Campers. Hosts were efficient and friendly. Water froze one night, quickly repaired.

@BillK6985DA702 · Camped on Sep 17, 2023 at Campsite #18

This is a beautiful location to camp. Next to the river and most sites have power if you desire. Surrounded by peaks and forest.No host on site so somewhat of a challenge if you were to need one, but overall a great experience. We will return when possible.

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
