This little campground was originally developed in the 1970s but the Weber Ranchers.  It was built with small sites and big views in mind. We're giving this old campground a facelift little by little and adding unique lodging options for our guests. Hope you enjoy!

Dunton Hot Springs Resort stands out as a unique destination, blending the charm of a romantic ghost town with the luxury of modern accommodations, all set against the stunning backdrop of the San Juan Mountains in the Colorado Rockies. This extraordinary alpine valley offers guests an unforgettable experience, combining rustic elegance with exclusive hospitality and an authentic glamping adventure. Accommodating up to 44 guests, Dunton Hot Springs features thirteen beautifully furnished luxury cabins, ranging from one to five bedrooms. Each hand-hewn log cabin is exquisitely decorated, providing a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. Guests can indulge in gourmet meals at the life-worn saloon, explore lung-busting trails, and unwind with pampering massages, all while enjoying the soothing hot springs nestled beneath glistening snowbanks. Although the ghost town is free of cell phone service, high-speed wireless internet is available in every cabin, ensuring connectivity when needed. An exceptional addition to the Dunton experience is the Dunton River Camp, which offers eight luxurious prospector-style tents, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms. Located at Cresto Ranch, a historic cattle ranch from the late 1800s, the camp is surrounded by approximately 500 acres of picturesque fields, meadows, and forests.
