Riverside sites have nice view of river, but is not accessible unless you climb down a steep bank of dirt and little.During our stay, only saw management at check in and a couple times on Sunday. Usually KOA management is very visible to prevent issues from popping up. This is the only KOA we've been to where they didn't escort us to our site and help get us set up, a minor nit, but it helps with management visibility.The sites were very close together, so our picnic table was next to our neighbor's sewer hookup.For the high price, we expected modern fire pit and grill, some space between sites, and better cleanliness. Entrance was dangerous to negotiate as it was at intersection of three roads, one being a blind curve. It was difficult to see oncoming traffic, especially while pulling an RV uphill from a stop sign.

A very well maintained park right on the Animas River. Beautiful location and views, but the sites are very small.

This time of year (early October), RV sites and campgrounds are slim pickings. Many are closed or are closing soon for the season. Still, surprised at $62/night for the non-riverside sites — $80/night for riverside. Sites are extremely tight. If you’re sitting outside at the provided picnic table and fire ring, you’re only inches from ...moreThis time of year (early October), RV sites and campgrounds are slim pickings. Many are closed or are closing soon for the season. Still, surprised at $62/night for the non-riverside sites — $80/night for riverside. Sites are extremely tight. If you’re sitting outside at the provided picnic table and fire ring, you’re only inches from your neighbor’s open window and sewer connection. The park is tidy and the office even offers fudge, but for the price, one might expect a bit more room to breathe and better WiFi. Tomorrow, we’ll drive into Durango to talk with USDA Forest service staff for San Juan Nat Forest. We hear there are plenty (mostly free), beautiful dry camping spots. Will report back.

Pros: Very well maintained grounds. Swimming pool is clean. Gift shop is packed full of anything you would want or need, including some common RV equipment. They do movies most nights on the patio. Enough room in the pull-throughs. Easy *beautiful* drive to Silverton. Short drive to Durango. Bicycling CR 250 is kind of nice and ...morePros: Very well maintained grounds. Swimming pool is clean.

Easy *beautiful* drive to Silverton. Short drive to Durango. Bicycling CR 250 is kind of nice and takes you across the Animas.Cons: Packed. Very little space between campsites. Didn't see any trails to hike nearby, which was unexpected for such a beautiful location.

Well maintained basic RV campground with a few cabins as well. Located right on the river though I think the cabins were more likely to be literally on the river. Clean with all the amenities like a store, laundry etc. and friendly staff. We stopped here for a night, no reservation, because we needed a night with hookups, and...moreWell maintained basic RV campground with a few cabins as well. Located right on the river though I think the cabins were more likely to be literally on the river. Clean with all the amenities like a store, laundry etc. and friendly staff. We stopped here for a night, no reservation, because we needed a night with hookups, and a chance to do laundry, before heading up the road to Lake Haviland which is a national forest campground which feels more out in nature, but with far fewer amenities.
