Beautiful mountain views, trails and only 10 minutes to downtown Durango! 35 acre gated community property with miles of private trails to explore. Friendly pets welcome. Complementary firewood fire restrictions permitting. Owners live on property and are available to help or answer questions. Great setup and location.Get settled and enjoy miles of trails starting from your RV site, stay in the woods and enjoy the relaxing evening and beautiful views or head into downtown Durango only 10 minutes away., about 5 miles to main street downtown. This 35 acre lot is joined by another 70 acres that all has trails winding throughout to be explored, there are also other nearby trails that will take you far into national forest and blm land. The spot is 20’x40’ so there is plenty of room on the road base pad to hang out. I wouldn’t recommend a full size RV up here just because it would be hard to get in and out.

Nice Place to Set Up !
This is a really great spot for a center of operations for recreational and other activities in Durango. It’s about 10 miles from Downtown, but the spot is peaceful and remote. It’s a single site, which is situated below the host’s home, and about 75 yds or so from the house, on a large tract of wooded property. We did a little hiking around the trails which are accessible from the site, and feels very remote. Good star gazing on Monday night. The hosts are extremely accommodating, but not at all invasive. No RV Park neighbors! No noise (other than maybe my family), firewood is supplied. Nice, flat pad with plenty of room to set up tables and chairs just outside of the camper. The weather was perfect, nights were really cool - low 50s, maybe high 40’s - with no need to run the RV AC, which is too loud anyway. Michael was really easy to work with in that we tried twice to come up in the early spring, but weather put a damper on both trips, and we had no problem canceling the reservations. This time we made it ! We will definitely look at returning to this site in the near future.

Great time!
We had an awesome time at Bear Springs. Mike was a great host. Very knowledgeable about the area and willing to help. While the spot is close to his (very beautiful) home, once set up our view was to his many acres of forest and felt secluded. Great views, close to everything and a bit cooler up there! Would definitely recommend.

I loved camping on Michael’s land. The space was away from the main house and provided privacy. Michael greeted me upon arrival and instructions with Google Maps were clear. The campsite was clean and welcoming, with water and electricity available. Easy 10min drive to downtown Durango, while still in nature. I am a solo female camper and felt safe for 2 nights there.

Fantastic Location
We absolutely loved our stay here. Michael is indeed a super host. So incredibly helpful for us. As others have mentioned it is a little challenging to get in the spot, that is for a novice RVer like us. But with Michael's help, he parked it right in there for us. It is only about 10 minutes to Durango and still spectacular views views along with quiet even. My wife and I would whole heartedly recommend a stay here.

Michael is a great host and he communicated well. The property is very nice and you climb a lot over the last 2 miles so if it’s warm in Durango, it’s probably a bit cooler on Michael’s place. His house is nearby but if you have a van or a trailer it creates a nice buffer and you feel like the site is secluded. Overall, I would recommend for someone looking for electrical and water hookups near Durango.
