HTR Durango Campground
Durango, Colorado
51 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 10 Tent Sites, 3 Cottages, 2 Lodges
5.01 reviewsHTR Durango Campground in Colorado offers 51 RV sites, 14 cabin, cottage, and lodge units, and 10 tent sites on the western approach to Durango, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Canyonside and creekside categories at both amperages join pull-in and water-and-electric tiers, with a pool, on-site dining, and live music.
Fifty-one sites span back-in water-and-electric, canyonside back-in 30-amp, canyonside back-in 50-amp, canyonside pull-in 30-amp, and creekside back-in 30-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with picnic tables, sized to 45 feet. Naming categories canyonside and creekside tells you exactly what you are booking; confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric option does not carry sewer at the site. Fourteen cabins, cottages, and lodges and 10 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Office hours run 10am to 6pm, and the dry camping season runs May 1-14 and October 10-31 — worth checking if you are traveling in the shoulders.
An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a pond and creek supporting fishing, and basketball, a playground, pavilion, dog park, and on-site dining filling the grounds. Hiking, biking, swimming, live music, and strong birding round it out.
Canyon walls of Douglas fir and ponderosa surround the property, with downtown Durango and the San Juans close.
Summer and fall color drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

First time we’ve camped here and it was stellar! Lovely setting up in a beautiful canyon. Quiet and shaded. Small campground, but has fairly good sized campsites. Very clean restrooms with some of the largest shower stalls I’ve ever been in. Staff is very friendly and helpful. An excellent place!
