Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Canyon Trails Ranch

We highly, highly recommend Canyon Trails Ranch and camping in the Conestoga wagon. The site is beautiful and the hosts are great - very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area, its history, and the indigenous peoples who called it home and still live in the area. The wagons and tent sites are surrounded by spectacular red rock scenery, with Ute Mountain and the Ute Mountain Ute tribal lands right across the road and Canyon of the Ancients National Monument bordering the other side of the ranch. The chuck wagon kitchen is charming and had all the cooking gear we needed. The Conestoga wagon we stayed in was comfortable and cozy, with great touches. It fit the four of us just fine It was also very solid and clearly well-built by very skilled craftsmen (be sure to check out Rodney & Christy’s barn and the wagons and wagon wheels that Joe & Rodney build and restore!) We loved being able to just hike up the hill above the site and be in Canyons of the Ancients in minutes - a real gem. Mesa Verde is great, but if you’re looking for something without the crowds, this place is where to be. We also recommend the horseback rides that Joe and Jessica lead - we went on the 3 hour kiva trail ride, and it was worth every penny. It was very special to get basically a private tour of 800 year old (or older) archaeological sites. Joe was a terrific guide and helped us tenderfoots be very comfortable on horses while also teaching us so much about the area. Not to be missed.

Weekend Trip to Linda M.’s Santa Rita Ranch

Had a wonderful stay on Linda's land. As everyone has mentioned, she's a caring, welcome and fascination host. We just needed a quiet place to camp while attending an event at Tico so this was perfect.

5 nights at Ribbit Retreat

Great site close enough to activities of Durango but far enough that you get the mellowness of being in nature. We had deer visit and saw a coyote in the distance which was super cool. Our dogs loved being able to be off leash but make sure you have them under good voice control because there is wildlife. The host was super responsive and communicated well. We didn't need any of the hook ups so stayed in a nice treed area to keep cool when it got warm. Would definitely stay again.

3 nights at Linda M.’s Santa Rita Ranch

Linda is an absolutely amazing host and has a beautiful property. We were given so many recommendations and had a very comfortable stay! Definitely recommend and will be returning!!

Chaco is just one member of the friendly team watching out for you during your stay.

1 night at Lavender Farm Stay

Looking for serenity & superb style from knowledgeable, attentive hosts? You must stay with Travis, Katie, and farm dog Chaco. They have a gorgeous wagon with thoughtful amenities surrounded by a working farm that clearly gets lots of love and sweat from its owners and team. This secluded location close to Mesa Verde National Park provides the ultimate getaway. The sleep was comfy and the breakfast was stellar. I was well rested for my hiking and park visit. The shower & facilities were immaculate. As a solo traveler I felt super safe and looked after from booking through the end of my stay. I loved the lavender farm tour from Katie & Travis. Do be sure to get some of their lavender products to take home with you. My Jeep smells extra fabulous and the calm I got from my stay is sure to stay with me well beyond my trip.

1 night at Bright Star Campground

The best campground I have ever stayed at. The amenities and views were top notch for a fantastic price. The common space kitchen has everything you need and then some. Very well maintained and you can tell that they take pride in this campground. The simple touches made it that much better. Blown away. Will be coming back!

1 night at Bright Star Campground

Really an excellent campsite with lots of different accommodations and lodgings to choose from the view is wonderful. The camp hosts keep the facilities in tiptop shape.

Weekend Trip to Nakation Getaway

This is a must stop place if passing anywhere near Farmington NM or Durango CO. The owners are very attentive and were doing upkeep on the property every day that I was there. Everything is well taken care of and clean. The BLM land that the property backs up to gives you even more room to roam which is a bonus if you like to explore.

Weekend Trip to The Cabin

Quiet camping place in the field! I loved the sound of the river nearby, spotty reception but a good place nonetheless

Weekend Trip to Twilight Falls

Blake's place was amazing! Gorgeous views and camping that makes you feel like your by yourself. Blake is super helpful too even when he's not around! Highly recommend this camping spot.

Weekend Trip to The Cabin

My husband and I had the best time at their Aspen Flats stay. They were very hospitable and we loved our stay!

Weekend Trip to Zuma Bike Ranch & Camp in Cortez

Super location. Peaceful and right on the trails!

1 night at Bright Star Campground

Perfect balance between being secluded enough to get away from it all, but close enough to town to run and buy supplies. Beautiful location, a full kitchen loaded with cooking supplies for campers to use, a great deal on firewood that beats anything you'd get from a gas station, a lovely shower facility, a clean bathroom, and plenty of electrical outlets for campers to charge their devices with. Everyone I met was super friendly and it felt almost like a small community and not just a campground full of individual parties of people. I hope I get the chance to stay here again!

Wow what an amazing little place. Soooo peaceful and the views. Level, 50/30 and water and sewer!!! I due recommend a pressure gauge. The water pressure is excellent but a bit high for my camper. Brought it back down to 45psi and still enjoyed a full powered shower

Weekend Trip to Bright Star Campground

My group of friends and I had a great stay! This was the perfect home base for hiking at Mesa Verde and mountain biking at Phil’s World nearby. It was convenient having all of the amenities (kitchen, bathroom, etc.) while we camped and the communal area was a relaxing place to gather. We’d come back!

Weekend Trip to Bright Star Campground

We rolled into the campground, found our tipi, and we were immediately greeted by Kent and one of the other guys working to create a beautiful walkway to the Chasing Moon tipi. The bed inside was so comfortable and the temperature inside stayed regulated by the fan. Naturally we were glamping and the electricity really helped keep our devices charged so we could take amazing pictures just down the road at Mesa Verde. We were also introduced to the Dotty Wampus Magical Chocolate Factory very nearby which is a cannot miss if you're staying at the campground. A full kitchen made it easy for people to cook and the fun covered area with ping pong tables, comfortable seating and good vibes made it a great experience. The shower proximity to Chasing Moon is quite nice and while the bathroom was a bit farther away, we found it easy all around. We had an awesome time over Memorial Day weekend.

Weekend Trip to Canyon Trails Ranch

We had a great time camping at Rodney and family’s site. The bath house was clean and it was great to be able to shower after hiking. The location is quiet at night and the stars are beautiful. It is also right next door to the canyon of the ancients.

1 night at MSB Legacy Retreat

Jerry was great—detailed directions in case loss of signal or wrong directions and he even gave us a heads up another guest was arriving late night so not to be alarmed. Can’t beat the STUNNING landscape!

Weekend Trip to Bright Star Campground

Wonderful site, beautiful location. We were in the The camp was located in a beautiful idyllic locations with mountain views all around. It was quiet and peaceful. We rented the RV site. The site had the full hookups. It also had an extremely level concrete pad. There was also a picnic table and firepit. Everything you could need. The rest of the camp was soo cool with the TeePees. Everything was neat and clean. Kent was very nice and helpful. I'd totally stay again. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Twilight Falls

We tent camped at this location, selecting it only at the last minute. Blake was very communicative about what to expect and how to navigate there successfully. The trek to the bathrooms was notable, but we knew that going in. There is only one bathroom (shower and toilet) to be shared with the sites on this property. So, some planning is required for a lengthier bathroom visit.

Junction West Durango

97 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents10 acres · Durango, CO

History of JW Durango Riverside Resort It all started in 1965… When this campground hosted its first guests the goal back then was simply to offer folks from around the Four Corners a place to relax and lounge along the Animas River. Today, the property boasts 73 quality RV sites, 24 cabins and 6 tent sites. We also have a heated pool, playground, convenience store, retail shop, game room, café with a large deck for dining, laundry room, paved roadways, two bath houses, and an observation deck overlooking the Animas. The property sits just south of Bakers Bridge, a local landmark made famous as the set of the climactic finale in the movie “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” – where Paul Newman and Robert Redford sat along the rocky cliffs that line the river before they famously took the plunge. As the lifeblood of this community, the Animas River winds its way under that bridge and south toward historic downtown Durango. Everyone from whitewater enthusiasts and acclaimed fly fisherman to laidback locals in inner tubes enjoy the same flowing mountain waters miners have tapped for more than a century. Back in 1965, the population of Durango was just over 10,000 and La Plata County almost 20,000. Today, the city itself is home to 20,000 residents while the county is closing in on a staggering 58,000. As more and more people discover the beauty and majesty of the San Juan National Forest and surrounding Rocky Mountain peaks, the number of people flocking to the Four Corners region continues to grow. Whether hiking, biking, horseback riding, or four-wheeling this area has an endless number of adventures to uncover. Even if it takes a lifetime to explore some of the forgotten roads in this region, these outdoor experiences offer just a glimpse of what there is to do when you visit. People come from around the world to ride the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, listen to songs and stories from the Bar D Wranglers, hit the slopes at Purgatory Resort, or hug the guardrails along the legendary Million Dollar Highway. These are just a few of the reasons people continue to come back year after year, and generation after generation. Even here at Durango Riverside, we constantly listen to stories from guests who first came here as children and now return with their own. It really is easy to find places where you can experience some of the wonders this community has to offer. But, there’s only one place where you can relax and lounge along the Animas River with friends and family, making memories that will stick with you for generations – Durango Riverside.
