The campground offers lots to do for all ages and is also a perfect place to just relax and enjoy the beauties of nature. We visited in the summer and would definitely come back for future summer trips but also hope to experience Pagosa and Pagosa Riverside Campground in the fall.

Our first experience with the McCauley Hot Springs in Jemez Springs was so fun that we decided to…read morefind another one in Colorado near Pagosa Springs. I mean, who wants to pay $74 a day to splash around hot water with hundreds of other people? After some googling, we figured we'd try this spot after whitewater rafting. This place is kinda interesting in that it's literally right on the Piedra River, but it's along a section of the river where the hot springs bubble up so you're literally in the river blocked off by man-made dams that you can adjust and/or make new pools by yourself. So if you're headed west out of Pagosa Springs, it's about a 17 mile drive on US 160. You'll pass the turnoff for Chimney Rock on your left (south). US 160 will go north, and you'll see a clearing with some cabins advertising for pinon nuts and a brown sign indicating a turnoff for First Fork Road on your right. You'll want to turn in here. First Fork Road is also known as Piedra Road and Forest Service Route 622. You'll pass a bunch of cabins and camping sites, and the road will be a gravel/washboard/dirt kind of road. It's actually pretty well maintained. It is a little narrow at times with a very steep dropoff, so just be a little careful when you're driving on it. I drove my rental Jetta, and it was entirely fine, but it's probably awful in the winter. You'll take it for 6.7 miles, and you'll come upon a sign on your right with an intersection for Monument Park Road to your right and a parking area for the Sheep Creek Trailhead on your left. You'll want to park in the parking area and take the Sheep Creek Trailhead. Apparently, the signs tell you to register, but all the papers were filled. You would think that they would come around and refresh the papers, but I guess not. The trail starts off easy, but then becomes a bunch of switchbacks and then a very steep descent. You'll be climbing down 800 feet in about 3/4s of a mile. There are places where the trail has been modified or an old part of the trail been closed off, but they're easily discernible. Just make sure you keep to the right every time there's a possible fork. You'll hit a sign about fishing lures and then an open meadow. Take the fork to the right, and it'll cut across the meadow and follow the river upstream. You'll then hit another fork where the trail goes right upwards and another fork that goes down towards the river. Take the upwards right fork. You'll walk about another 3/4s of a mile and you'll enter another clearing after several obvious campsites. Walk towards the river at this point, and you'll see to your left the springs on the banks of the river. I think there must be several other pools upstream from the clearing as we heard voices from there, but we didn't go exploring. The pools are about 100 degrees and they're pretty shallow. I think it's interesting because you can feel the hot water and then you can also feel the cold water from the Piedra River coming in and you can adjust the temperature utilizing the rocks. It's pretty brackish though because there's a lot of silt. In the muddy areas, the mud is super hot too. Apparently clothing is optional, but as there was a bunch of people camping out, there was no skinny dipping this time. ;) I think it's pretty cool when you're sitting in the pool, that you're eye level with the rest of the river...and believe me, the Piedra River is pretty fast this time of the year. Be careful once you get back on the road when you're leaving, especially at sunset. The sun hits your car windshield at such an angle during the red dirt switchback that you won't be able to see very well. And especially with the narrow road and dropoff, it could be a disaster. Lucky for me, he jerked the wheel in time because apparently I was precariously close to the edge. Oops.

The owners Dane and Kaye sure keep this park in immaculate condition. However this year started out like every other year just another great visit but on Mother's Day our son got into a motorcycle accident on Wolf Creek Pass while we were following him. Fortunately he is ok with minimal injuries but his Harley was totaled and needed to be picked up. The only person I could think to call was Dane. He immediately offered any help we needed. It truly says something about the owners character to be so kind, considerate and helpful to our needs. I have only known him and his wife through being a guest at Wolf Creek Run Motorcoach Resort. I so grateful and appreciative to you both for your kindness and generosity. Dane and Kaye you have such a beautiful resort. Your resort is truly my happy place to be. Thank you for always letting us visit your beautiful resort early in the season. In addition a very sincere thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being there to help us in a difficult time. You both are truly amazing people and dear friends. Debbie and I truly blessed to be able to consider and now call you our close dear friends.

She has serious vestibular insecurity and does not like to be unstable. I let Gwen know that when we arrived and she was so incredibly kind and gentle, informing my youngest daughter of the "dos" and "don'ts" around the horses (Don't scream if scared, etc.). Then, the wranglers Tanner and Will were EXCEPTIONAL. They were patient as she mounted her horse and assured me she would be "just fine" even when I asked if it would be better if she and I stayed back while my husband and middle daughter continued with the trail ride. I am SO SO SO THANKFUL we booked this trip, for the kind staff, and their AMAZING horses. We all had SUCH a fun time and my youngest could not stop giggling and talking the entire trail ride. SHE LOVED IT and was never scared once. This truly had everything to do with the professionalism of the staff and the temperament of the horses they have. If you have a child with special needs, LOBO OUTFITTERS is the place for you!!!!!! There are so many activities that my child is unable to do with her peers. The entire trail ride I had such immense gratitude that for one day, she was able to participate fully. THANK YOU for this gift! All four of us had such a great time! -Meredith Cotton

Now about the campground. Mostly gravel and dirt and a few spots backed up to a large open meadow made for a great spot to camp overnight. Water was off, for the season but it seems to be nothing more than an irrigation connection when it is in use so don't expect much water pressure. Cable TV didn't work but we weren't sure if it was offered as neither the host or the camp 'joey" knew much about it. On the plus side Internet was fast and consistent compared to many rural camps we have patronized. Was quiet except for minimal highway noise but not enough to become a disturbance. Participates in PA discount so we will likely return again if we are in the region.
