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.

Looking for an epic camping spot with easy access to both the outdoors and some local adventure? This tent site in the Animas Valley, right on the banks of the Animas River, is perfect for you. Imagine waking up to the sight of elk or mule deer casually grazing nearby while red-tailed hawks cruise the skies. It’s super chill and ideal for anyone who loves wildlife.
But that’s just the start—you're also a quick drive from Durango’s cool local scene and all the hiking, biking, and exploring the San Juan Mountains have to offer. Spend your days hitting the trails, rafting the river, or checking out Durango’s breweries and cafes, then come back to relax by your campfire under the stars. It’s the perfect mix of wild and town vibes!

Weekend Trip to Lavender Farm Stay
What a gem! We had a fabulous, relaxing stay in the Lavender Wagon. Travis and Katie were wonderful hosts who made us feel like we were at home. Loved the tour of the property, loved learning lavender facts, and breakfast was delicious both mornings. Will definiately recommend to others!

Beautiful! Staff was very nice. We had a beautiful riverside cabin. The river was raging when we arrived due to days of downpours. I was concerned about potential flooding. While it was not near flood level, they kindly and quickly moved us to a cabin several hundred feet from the river bank.

Pictures do not do this place justice! The river is directly behind the tent, so it was perfect to fall asleep to the sound of the water! Community kitchen area has everything you need from seasonings, a grill, even a super neat pizza oven! 100000% recommend this gem of a place. There’s even a trail to walk to downtown if you’re feeling up to it!

The cabin accommodations were great. The great are nice. It was a bit further from town than I expected. There were a lot of rules that were not addressed in the original advertisement. There is a charge for pets that is not spelled out but they let it slide. I would recommend

Had such a great time! We stayed in the one-room glamping cabin with beautiful views of the river right outside our front door. The bathhouses were very clean, and the showers had excellent water pressure and got nice and hot. The cabin itself was a big upgrade compared to tent camping. The bed was super comfortable (the pillows could have been better, so I recommend bringing your own).
The fridge and microwave were a nice touch, and we appreciated that linens, towels, and trash pick-up were all provided. The activities each night were fun and cute, and the pool was clean and heated. Overall, the whole place was quiet, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and we are already looking forward to coming back!

Weekend Trip to Lavender Farm Stay
My son and I stayed here after visiting Mesa Verde National Park. Even after reading the enthusiastic reviews, we did not realize the treat that lay in store. What a special place! Like for others, this was my favorite stop on our trip.
The farm is beautiful and comfortable (we cooked a full meal, had fabulous showers), but the best part was the hospitality of the whole family, getting to tour the farm and eat a sumptuous breakfast. I’ve been enjoying Katie’s lavender balm and tea each day since to remind me of this place.

This campground has it all and the rustic cabin is the way to go! Owning our own campground, we like to see how others do it and this was first class. Beautiful location, convenient to mesa verde and Durango, clean bathrooms, nice mattresses, great staff, and all the conveniences of not pitching your own tent. We highly recommend!

The most charming Hipcamp I’ve ever stayed at! A unique experience, for sure. The lovely fragrance of lavender that is on the wind. The stunning views of Mesa Verde. The incredible hospitality of the hosts. You’ll want to visit this place again and again. I know I certainly do.

Travis and Katie’s lavender farm is one of the best places I stayed on my two month roadtrip. The land is so beautiful with wildlife all around. My favorite part was the sunset view overlooking stinking canyon towards Mesa Verde. Annie and Clay (Travis’s parents) were also so friendly. The daily breakfast was such a treat, Clay made amazing breakfast tacos and French toast. Nearby, there is beautiful hiking with striking colors and wildflowers. I plan to return in the future and recommend this place to anyone.

A special spot where one can rest the soul! Roadtrip a lot through Cortez for running races across the US. SOOOO grateful that I landed here for a night. The Lavender farm is absolutely incredible; healing terms, abundant flowers, happy bees, a really neat wagon to stay in, a delicious breakfast, a stunning overlook/view, and some of the softest, kindest, coolest camp hosts you could ever hope for. The shower was also really nice as was the Lavender tea I got to try! This was a very inspiring spot to stay and I got to read a lot and write some poetry! Will absolutely be back and I can't recommend this spot enough! Make sure to buy some of the honey and tea to take home with you! They are excellent. Thank you for having me!
