The facilities were very quaint and well maintained. The campground store had literally anything a camper might have forgotten at reasonable prices. The campsites were all close to the amenities. A special shout out to Naomi and the other staff for covering our tent with a tarp when an unexpected rainstorm was approaching. 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.

We chose to stay here…read morebecause they have full hookups, bathrooms and showers on-site, and they exceeded our expectations. Both were exceptionally clean throughout our stay. I noticed a review mentioning there weren't enough bathrooms, but that wasn't our experience at all. We never had an issue, and the facilities were always clean and well maintained. Check-in was quick and easy, the campground was clean, and everyone we encountered was friendly. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect place to relax. We stayed during a fire ban, and the campground handled everything well without any issues. One of the highlights of our trip was taking our kids for ice cream at the campground. They serve ice cream every evening from 6-9 p.m. (except Sundays, if I remember correctly), and it was such a fun treat that our kids looked forward to. It was a small touch that made our stay even more memorable. Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and welcoming campground. We can't wait to come back!

Awesome spot for your car camping adventures!…read more About 13 miles south of Pagosa Springs and a hop, skip and long jump from the border of New Mexico, this campground caters exclusively to groups. Between May and September, the entire facility rents out at, currently, $85 a night. Our collective of little kids, grown kids and four-legged friends easily topped 20 people, six different sites, our ring of tents and RVs surrounding a big grassy field where the nightly campfire roared. Some of the basics: + Pit, er, "vault" toilets, well maintained and clean + No electric hookup in the campground + Dumpster + Plenty of gatherable firewood + Picnic tables and fire pits at all sites, bring shade covers + Small river, fish weren't biting + Padlocked entrance, combination sent prior to reservation + Drinking water pump in day use area More: We didn't see much wildlife, save a nesting wild turkey. Not complaining, this is what hiking is for. Generally, the place is super safe for kids to explore, they'll get gutsy and eventually wade into the mighty cold river, and if the sky is clear, nights are great for stargazing. Bring a few extra blankets, temperatures drop quickly overnight. Finally, I'm all for gender-neutral restrooms, in most situations, anyway. Camping... Just being honest, here: menfolk can get mighty sloppy around the proverbial throne, particularly after a few beers around the campfire. Glad this place keeps 'em separated.

We caught some great fish every day we were there, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The park was quiet, very well kept, and the sites were nicely spaced out. The bathrooms and even the porta-potty were super clean, which we really appreciated. The laundry room was also very helpful during our stay. The staff was fantastic -- everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The other campers were friendly as well, which created a great atmosphere. We also loved that it was close to town if we wanted to grab dinner or a quick bite to eat. The only negative we noticed were some small ticks that showed up on our last day there. We found a few on the picnic table, though we hadn't seen any before that. Other than that, we had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our stay.

About 20 min from the main town area. Just make sure you have stable wifi as we didn't have cell service upon first arrival. But if you're camping short time, you might be into that.
