Durango Camping

[Cavman]

I have started to do some research on camping in the Durango, CO area. So far, there is quite a number of campgrounds that don't open until May 1 or later. They sure are going to miss out on the fun and the dollars.
I'm looking through the 2011 Trailer Life Directory RV Parks & Campgrounds. Looks like the altitudes are over 6000 feet. So, it should be just a little bit cooler in the Summer as I found last Summer when I was touring the Western US.

Three are open in the Durango area, seven are not or don't have restroom facilities. There is another RV park in Bayfield and two in Ignacio, CO.

There might be more that are not listed in the directory?

Many of the Colorado campgrounds are somewhat less than motorcycle friendly, in that they are off dirt roads. A steep winding dirt road is no fun if it rains, even on a more forgiving Spyder. Make sure of the access before you book.

I've made reservations at the Alpen-Rose RV Park where they have 'daily pancake breakfast'.

Hey caveman did you say I could come visit you in the morning and have breakfast with you???I'll bring wine in the evening for the exchange. ThreeFeet

Beer & wine are an acquired taste. I never acquired the taste.
I priced the KOA compared to what I'm paying and it's a bit more than pancakes per day.
I'll let you know how yummy the pancakes were. You can always change your reservations and bring Teddy and his driver Dave with you. :yes:
