Easy access with a level site. The view overlooking Durango was nice. Host was punctual, helpful and left us privacy.

Beautiful setting, a short drive fr
Great stay. Beautiful views. Host was very friendly, flexible, and helpful; answered all questions via app within a few hours. Agreed to let us stay even though we had a big rig (39’ fifth wheel). It was very rainy and muddy and offered to let us stay extra time, which I thought was a very nice gesture. A few things to keep in mind and plan for in case it isn’t obvious: 1 - not a true “full hook-up”. The water connection is non-potable 2 - sewer and electrical connections are at least 60’ apart and on the camp side. Depending upon how far back into the site you park you may need a seer line or electrical cord extension, or both. Sewer connection is also about 1’ off the ground so sloping your sewer line may be a challenge. 3 - host’s occupied family house is visible from the camp spot a 100-200’ hundred feet up the hill. There is an unfinished garage/shed directly behind the spot. 4 - not much flat graveled or grassed space on the camp side (we have an RV with slides on both sides ) to hang out on. There is a sloped space with a fire pit that has spots flat enough to put chairs. We loved it, although it did quite a extremely muddy when it rained. All and all it was an excellent stay and would gladly return. Just be comfortable with and plan on the above.

Wonderful views. A quiet place convenient to Durango and the area. It is indeed up on a hill in the pines. When arriving pull into the second driveway entrance go past the house and back into the spot. All services were available. Hosts were very helpful. We have a 38’ 5th wheel, a bit challenging with some tight turns but we were able to get it in place and loved our time there.

Great place to stay in Durango.
Host Benjamin meet us on our arrival. He made sure we knew where everything was and helped with some sightseeing advice. The sight itself is basically a driveway on the side of a beautiful mountain home. You will need at least a 20ft sewer hose if you intend to hook up. The location is ideal for seeing the sights in and around Durango. The location feels private and secure. A great choice for smaller rv’s and travel trailers.
