RV camping near Pagosa Springs

·

RV camping in Pagosa Springs gives you ample options for experiencing Colorado—imagine backing your RV up to a campsite along the San Juan River or the Blanco River, with ponderosa pine trees framing your view of the Rocky Mountains. After a long day hiking, biking, and ATVing in the 2.5 million acres of surrounding San Juan National Forest, it's best to hit the nearby hot springs before heading back to your RV campsite. Highly rated RV parks can be found in town, offering full 50-amp hookups, free wifi, and laundry facilities. Campers who venture away from town will find public campgrounds in the national forest (West Fork and Williams Creek campgrounds are two popular options) and at Navajo State Park, with some campsites offering partial or full hookups. Or, enjoy the solitude with a private campsite in the meadows and forests that surround Pagosa Springs. Some RV sites are pet-friendly—just be sure to check in advance.

46mi from Pagosa Springs · 97 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
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.
