4 nights at PR Ranch - Fly Fishing

This is a little secret I hate to let people know about. We were the only ones camping this week. We had the entire place to ourselves. We ran into the owner and 2 ranch hands a couple of times, but besides that we were all alone. The owner and ranch hands were extremely nice. The fly fishing was top notch. I fished for 3 days and caught 15-18 inch trout every day. The river was maintained very well. We were here the first week of October and the colors of the trees was unbelievable. My wife wanted seclusion, river, and colors. I wanted fly fishing. We got everything we both wanted. I want to visit this ranch again.

3 nights at Walkable downtown Pagosa property

The parking spot was level on gravel, close to the other two campers, but the forest was just up the road where we could walk our dog. Neighbor campers including our host were super friendly. Close to town on the highway. Convenient location.

Beautiful spot on the river! County rd next to it but is rarely used. I did have some families of Amish drive by in horse and buggy. Good fishing. River was low but I managed a handful over a day and a half, one 18”. Height of leaves changing and so colors were amazing. Great hosts. Provide all firewood too!

Weekend Trip to Walkable downtown Pagosa property

This spot was perfect. It was in a great location close to the hot springs which is what we go to pagosa for. There are some woods nearby that our dogs had a blast in. Beautiful and peaceful. Totally will come back!

Weekend Trip to The Last Resort on the River

Rich was kind and accommodating! The camp was clean and felt close to nature, and fairy close to both Pagosa and Chama. We will certainly keep this on our list of places to stay in So Colorado!

3 nights at Close to Adventure Camping

This is an amazing family camp site! The hosts are very kind and want to make sure you have a good stay. They even gave us chicken eggs from their very own chickens on the property. The site is quiet and perfect for a family looking for a peaceful setting. National forests surround the area and there is plenty to explore. Full hookups for our camper was the cherry on top!

This shows the yellow ingress and egress for the three RV sites. Note that only two sites are pictured here. A third site was added parallel to the first two sites. The red circle is the common area which includes a fire pit. The blue square is the septic station.

3 nights at The Scott Ranch

Lance is an exceptionally courteous and responsive host. His land is truly spectacular. It's a private paradise for people that want to get off the beaten path with a camper. The river is beautiful and this spot it is totally worth the price. It may not be everyone's cup of tea without the amenities of a campground/RV park, but if you don't want all that and are looking for quiet breathtaking views, with space for your fur babies to frolic through fields and swim in the river, this place is for you. I'm so grateful I was able to spend time here and will likely return next year!

This spot was wonderful. The peace and quiet was amazing. The full hookups and WiFi really let us relax and get away from the world. Would definitely recommend if you need a place to unwind and get away from it all.

Weekend Trip to The Last Resort on the River

We arrived late and checked out early. A quick overnight on our journey. So we didn’t get a chance to experience everything. I can say the host was wonderful. Walked us to our site. Explained everything about the grounds. They seem to have everything you could need. We backed our van to within 15 feet of a running creek. Nice. Beautiful location, not far from Pagosa Springs (10 miles ish). Would definitely return when in the area. Thanks!

4 nights at Riverfront Campsite on a Ranch!

We LOVED our time at PR ranch. It was exactly what we were looking for- secluded, beautiful, and accessible. We hiked a bit, played in the river (young sons), fished, and just enjoyed being outside together. We drove through some of the Rio Grande National forest and that was awesome, we even got to see Bighorn sheep. Glenn is a lovely man and took us around the property in his mule (4- wheeler). We highly recommend this property.

Juli and Scott are great and the property is beautiful! They were very flexible and understanding when we had to delay our travel dates due to a move. They adjusted and offered us additional days. It was a very warm welcome but also not intrusive. Would highly recommend!!

What an amazing find this was. Took my wife here for her birthday weekend and she was so happy with the trip. Perfectly located near a spa, beatifil views and not that from Great Sand Dunes which is an absolute must see. As for the site itself, it was so peaceful. The RV lots are nestled in the trees so you get some nice shade while being able to enjoy the outdoors. The RV hookups were perfect and accessible with no hassle. The hosts z This was probably the best part of choosing the site. Scott and Juli are amazing hosts. We felt very welcome, Thry have a binder for each site with all the information you might think you need and even some things you might not have thought of. I sent a message asking a question the first morning and forgot to reply and Scott same down to our sure to make sure we had gotten what we needed. Amazing gesture! They even brought us cookies for my wife’s birthday, which was awesome. Bottom line, if you want to enjoy a peaceful RV experience this is the place to be. Can’t think of a single thing that could make it better!

We had a great time camping with friends on Juli's land! We received super detailed directions to the lovely and remote location. The spots were level and well situated, and easy to back into. There was plenty of room for both families to have their own space and socialize too. The location and the sites are very pretty. National Forest is right behind the sites and we enjoyed hikes, four-wheel drive adventures and a trip to Alamosa and the Great Sand Dunes. Juli and Scott are great communicators and thoughtful, responsive hosts!

Weekend Trip to PR Ranch - Fly Fishing

We stayed at site#1. It was truly one of the most amazing sites we’ve stayed at, and we’ve stayed at several. Glenn’s ranch is about 20 min from Monte Vista. The Alamosa River cuts through much of it. Site #1 sits right off of the road, which is no big deal because there is very little traffic that comes through that county road. The site is big and flat with plenty of shade. Sits directly on the river with a nice shallow wading area. My husband enjoyed lots of fly fishing & caught several fish. There are 2 nice fire pits & a grate. Glenn was very accommodating & communication was easy. We enjoyed meeting him & learning about the area & ranch. Hope to be back again sometime. I suspect my husband will look him up to come back to stay on the ranch & flyfish someday:)
