Priest Gulch Campground in Stati Uniti

We are not newby campers.. at almost 70 years old and traveling mostly all over the west this camp ground was a huge (and pleasant) surprise. Spotless clean, beautiful pine trees, gorgeous Dolores River right out back window, cool temps, close to Telluride and Durango.... we normally never camp close to major parks or attractions. We dislike the congestion while towing the camper so are happy to drive in beautiful scenery and use a great campground as a home base... unfortunately, we loved this one so much we didn't want to leave it. I would love to keep this campground a private secret, but I just can't.... it was AWESOME. AND to top it off we had great cell service so my husband could work one of the days we were there..

We originally had reservations at the McPhee Recreation Area for our visit to the Mesa Verde area, but upon arrival found it to be less than satisfactory. Fortunately we had good cell service and I was able to get into Priest Gulch about 20 miles away. What a difference! The camp hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome. It's the only place I have ever been where the host stuck around to help you back into your site. And while the sites were fairly close together (about 15 to 20 feet apart), the fact that we were literally backed up to the Delores River made it all worthwhile. It was so nice to sleep to the soothing sound of the river that it really didn't matter. The owners will provide free firewood if you ask. They just don't want you to take it out of the park. WiFi was fairly good, with few dropouts. There is a reasonably priced laundromat on the premises.

Courteous and friendly staff, our spot was wonderful. We had a beautiful area, looked like has been landscaped and nicely maintained. Park is 20 miles from Dolores & 40 miles from telluride. Best not forget to pack the coffee. We were in the 1st row and did hear road noise, will return to this park.

We arrived June 12 and stayed one night. Had it not been for a time constraint to Denver, we would have stayed a week here. We actually tent camped here 10 years ago and always wanted to return. It’s great for big rigs and had a perfect back-in site inches from the raging river. Fire pit available and FHU. The air was fresh and crisp and didn’t need air conditioning at night with windows open, although it got very cold. This is a must stop for any camping enthusiast. Great staff at front office. Will definitely return for longer stay.

Our original plans fell through, Priest Gulch had just opened and had RV and tent sites available. All sites are gravel with a grass "yard". Pets welcome. Some pull through, many back in spaces, especially the sites that are on the Dolores river. Beautiful!! The camp hosts stay with you until you are in or backed into your site. Free firewood for use in the campground. Site 8 & 9 are located close to the bathroom/showers and full equipped, heated gazebo. Full hookups at all sites on the main side. Across the river same, with nothing at the remote tent camping sites. Electrical was being upgraded across the river while we were there. Excellent wifi. This is bear country, no food/stoves can be left out. This is a great location to hike, visit Mesa Verde NP, Hovenweep NM, Telluride etc. Highly recommended!
