Bare your soul (and everything else) in the Desert. Please read the full description. Step out of your tent and feel the sun kiss your cheeks…all of them. This is a private, Adult-Only (18+) clothing-optional dry tent camping experience designed for those who want to strip away the noise of the world. Because we are a hidden gem and still growing, there is a high chance that you will have the horizon to yourself. Imagine a morning coffee or sunset stroll where the only other living soul you might see are the hawks and the bunnies. We are a work in progress with a mission: turning one man’s trash into campground treasures. We work to upcycle as many materials as possible, including a former football field turned grassy landing sites for tents and RV’s. Solar showers from recycled pallets. Signage created from old drill pipe and bed boards. Our 15 acres butts up against some BLM land offering more terrain to explore in the buff. When you’re done exploring, cool off with a skinny dip in our 16’ x 32’ above ground pool. Or just lounge in the sun and work on your tan. Gateway to the 4 Corners: Within 45 minutes (New Mexico): • World-class fishing at San Juan Quality Waters, or a day at Navajo Lake State Park, or Farmington Lake. • Step back in time at Aztec Ruins, Salmon Ruins or Jackson Lake Wildlife Refuge. • Grab a tube for a fun afternoon on the Animas River Within 60 minutes (Colorado): • Hike or drive LaPlata Canyon (only 30 minutes away!) or have an adventure at Purgatory Ski Resort. • Visit world-famous Mesa Verde National Park, Canyon of the Ancients or Chimney Rock. • Check out Lake Nighthorse • Spend a day in Historical Downtown Durango. If you’re looking for a crowd, you’ll have to bring it with you. If you want a quiet, liberating sanctuary where you can be your most authentic self, we can’t wait to host you.

Weekend Trip to Bright Star Campground

This is a magical place. We stayed in the Chasing Moon Tipi with two adults and a 10-year-old and it was more than perfect! Excellent amenities. Cool hosts, kid friendly, super clean. Warm showers. Artsy vibes. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need from an air fryer, to a stove, to a French press, to a kettle, to a toaster oven, to a microwave, to a coffee maker, filtered water and an ice machine for drinking. Honestly, if there's a complaint about this place, it's not the place that's the problem. We also met some super interesting and kind people. I would recommend this place to all of my friends.

Returning to Bear Springs for a second year says it all. We stayed here again with our children and had another wonderful experience. The setting is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by mountains and nature, offering a peaceful sense of privacy while still being conveniently located near many of the area’s attractions and outdoor activities. The campground feels safe, welcoming, and family-friendly. Our kids loved the outdoor space, and we appreciated having a place where we could unwind while still having easy access to everything we wanted to explore in and around Durango. Michael is a wonderful host. He is attentive, responsive, and genuinely cares about his guests’ experience. Throughout our stay, he made sure everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed. We’re grateful to have found this special spot and hope to make it an annual family tradition.

Bright Star campground is an AMAZING place! It's situated close to Mesa Verde, has amazing views (sunsets/sunrises are incredible), and is clean and extremely well-kept and managed. The common area is a fantastic oasis with many fun things to explore, fun games, a wonderful art-making station, and a great large shaded area for the summer sun. If you're into meeting interesting people this is a both a great hub for interaction or solo relaxation. The kitchen is very well-stocked, clean, with plenty of room to accommodate several cooking campers without feeling cramped. Best of all are all the wonderful personal touches that Kent and his partner have put into the whole campground. I don't want to call out too much but there are many fun surprises here. The love, care, and creativity put in to Bright Star is more than evident. Kent was a responsive, kind, knowledgeable host, and fun to talk with. I felt fully restored and creatively inspired after my stay at Bright Star—its magic worked wonders for me!

This was a beautiful spot! Definitely recommend checking out the amenities. From the kitchen to the showers, they’re all clean and purposeful. The host was friendly and invited us to attend an event on the grounds. The site has delightful artistic flair, and it is also practical and well maintained. Not to mention the complementary cucumber lemon water was a special treat in the desert! We would love to stay here again in the future!
