Durango, Colorado RV Parks

HerFineMess

Does anyone have a place you just love to camp in Durango, Colorado? I'm headed down there next week on my way to Arizona. I'm taking the scenic route and stopping to see Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe bend on my way to Phoenix. I'm thinking that Durango is a good stopping point for the night and would love your suggestions. I need a pull through site because I am still very challenged at backing up.

There’s a KOA just east of town that’s probably your best bet...also several RV parks just north of town; if you need details on those let me know.

The Durango KOA is the nicest ones I have ever stayed at--friendly, helpful--I'll bet they'll even back it in for if you wanted

I second Verna's comments. Stayed there after the Durango get together and had a great experience.

We spent two weeks at Lightner Creek campground this summer while working on a Habitat For Humanities home build.  Very nice family owned campground.  Highly recommended.

A lot of campgrounds around here start shutting down in late September...I see Lightner (which is nice and close to town) closes 10/1... http://www.camplightnercreek.com/

They back it in for me? Dang. I knew I loved KOAs for a reason. You all should have seen me trying to back up when I stayed at the Rifle Gap State Park a few weeks ago. If it weren't for a nice couple coming by to help me, I may have had to sleep halfway in the street!
