We've stayed at Tico Time a couple of times now, once last year and once this year. I occasionally have to work in the area, and during the week we've talked to a few people that also work in the area a few weeks of the year. The place has grown a lot between the 9 months we stayed.

I occasionally have to work in the area, and during the week we've talked to a few people that also work in the area a few weeks of the year. The place has grown a lot between the 9 months we stayed. They are offering concerts and festivals on weekends so this is a hopping park. There are just tons to do for families with kids especially if you're outdoor folks. With this there are, what some people would consider, negative results mostly on the weekends during peak season. These didn't bother us, but you really should know what you're getting into when you camp at Tico Time. This is a very kid and family friendly park so, you have kids (and even a couple of adults) crossing your area, parents please tell your kids it is considered rude to cut through other peoples campsite, and some people freak out about it. We didn't complain, they are kids after all just having fun. But just know it could happen. You also have multiple campsites playing loud music during the day, so you hear like 10 different radios going and each are trying to compete with each other. After about 9 or 10 pm it gets pretty quiet, we didn't experience anyone not following the rules during quiet time during our visit. However, based on other reviews your mileage may vary.During our last visit we had some monster monsoon storms and it blew trash and equipment around the park. Pro-tip: June through September keep an eye on the skies and download a weather/radar app on your cell phone. Monsoon storms are no joke! During the weekends it just seems to be a bit more trash blowing around. The staff were pretty good about picking up trash but it seemed like they were a little overwhelmed during the weekends. Makes sense the park was absolutely packed. During out last visit, there were a few campers who had their dogs off leash. Our dogs are rescues and sometimes don't get along with other dogs so we are very careful about our interactions with other dogs. KEEP YOUR DOG ON A LEASH!!! We did not have any issues thankfully but it COULD be a problem. That is why the park has fantastic, large dog parks. The dog parks are well groomed and fenced appropriately. They are stocked with poop bags and scoops to clean up and for the most part people do clean up after their dogs.If you're camping Monday through Friday morning, the campground is actually really quiet even during peak season. It is actually very enjoyable for us older folks that are in the area for work. During our visit, Monday through Friday there were probably less than 15 campers the week leading up to 4th of July but Friday, Saturday and Sunday almost every spot was filled.Overall Tico Time is a really great park full of fun for families. They have TONS of amenities and lots to do. Farmington is about 30 minutes, Durango about 20 minutes both with lots of restaurants and places to stock up supplies. There are dozens of historic places to visit. Hundreds of miles of hiking and biking. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing park, book Monday through Friday during peak season.

This is a great place for families. RV park, river activities, fun atmosphere. There is a zip line across the Animas River, water slides, paddle boats, rafting, etc. Close to Durango. We had a 50 amp RV site which was huge. Utility placement was front to back but this was not a problem since the site was so large. No brochure ...moreThis is a great place for families. RV park, river activities, fun atmosphere. There is a zip line across the Animas River, water slides, paddle boats, rafting, etc. Close to Durango. We had a 50 amp RV site which was huge. Utility placement was front to back but this was not a problem since the site was so large. No brochure or info packet. WiFi was open and ok. No rules. Can mean trouble given the size of the facility. People drive WAY too fast here given that there are many children playing here. There was very loud music until about 11 pm. The place is cluttered. Lots of stuff laying around. They’ll figure this all out eventually. I’ll give it 4 stars until then.

We booked Tico Time based on the great Google reviews and info on their website. The off-season weekly rate was $300/wk. We have mixed feelings about Tico Time. We booked our site online only to arrive and find out that the section of the park we booked does not exist (yet).

We have mixed feelings about Tico Time. We booked our site online only to arrive and find out that the section of the park we booked does not exist (yet). It is still under construction, so we were given a few options and chose site 22. The sites are very large and wide enough to park our truck beside our 5th wheel. The park itself will also be huge when it is finished, but as of our visit in April 2021, it was not. Our issue with Tico Time is that nowhere was there ever any mention whatsoever about ongoing construction or the park not being completely finished. There were semi trucks bringing in supplies during our entire stay which created an extremely dusty atmosphere. The price should have reflected the current state of the park and the website should be updated to give people a heads up on what to expect vs. what the website portrays. When complete, I have no doubt this will be an awesome RV park with a TON of things to do...it's just not what we expected during our stay. You can see our stay here if you are interested! https://youtu.be/A-rFAuDmFhY

After boondocking in Moab we were ready for something easier for school and work. This place has so much to offer! Great cell signal with t-mobile and Verizon.

The kids absolutely loved paddle boarding and the awesome tube waterslide. They spent so much time on this waterslide. The two huge dog parks were great for our two pups. The shower was hot and clean. There’s currently only one, but the map indicates plans for more in the near future. Site was gravel and fairly level. We were able to do laundry and they had plenty of quarters.The zipline experience was so much fun. James and Darian (i think that was his name) were kind and fun guides. Our two boys (10 & 13) did it all- free fall, Tarzan swing, climbing wall, zipline across the river. I did the free fall and zipline but didn’t have the stomach for the Tarzan swing. While you’re here check out Cox Arch, off the beaten path, but an enjoyable hike (we did it with our 4 kids ages 6-13). The Aztec Ruins are also very close and worth the trip. Our family will be telling stories of our stay at Tico Time for years to come.
