Molas Lake Park & Campground
81433 Silverton
USA
Molas Lake Park Campground was granted to the Town of Silverton in 1925 from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The 137-acre campground sits along the Million Dollar Highway (US 550) in the central San Juan Mountains; the most spectacular peaks in the Colorado Rockies. The Campground is adjacent to the largest wilderness area in the state of Colorado, the Weminuche Wilderness. Molas Lake Park Campground provides visitors with unforgettable scenery, a stocked 25-acre lake, National Forest access via the Colorado Trail, and dark, starry skies free from light-pollution. The campground and day-use amenities were completely renovated in 2008. There are more than 50 campsites serving tent-campers, small RV's and pop-ups, and a few sites over 1,500 square feet to serve even the largest RV's. The park has one water pump, several clean and new vault-style restrooms, and showers. The Campground no longer has a dump station, but there are dump stations available within the Town of Silverton, 10 minutes away, for a small fee. Seasonal Campground office (970) 387-4022.

Skriv en recensionStunning scenery from this spread-out camping area. Spent time here in a tent during July 2015. Breath-taking sight of the lake and hills right from our tent entrance and location. Clearly, there were no electricity or facilities.

This lake is gorgeous and worth the cost. My issue is that I predominantly stayed here to get a hot shower after a 6-day backpacking trip. The problem is the showers are pay showers (currently $5 for 4 minutes). I don't have an issue paying for a shower but when the campsite is $40/night you would think that includes a shower. These aren't powered sites and they don't have water hookups. You are paying for the scenery and honestly, there are tons of free boondocking sites nearby that are nearly as beautiful. The biggest issue is that the showers are token only and you can only get the tokens during office hours. After 6-days on the trail, my wife and I arrived half an hour after the office closed so we had to wait another day to get our overpriced showers. After 6-days we needed more than 4-minutes! Add $20 (for 2) to the nightly fee for this campsite and $60 is a bit outrageous for a parking spot even if it is gorgeous. Another oddity is that the toilets are all pit. That is okay but once again the campground doesn't stock the toilets instead the office issues you a roll of TP when you arrive. If you arrive after hours you had better have your own. Again this in my opinion is a ridiculous way to run a campground when you are charging $40/night.

6/28/22 - 7/11/22: There are a total of 8 sites here: 1 pull through that has 2 sites, several could accommodate my 34' fifth wheel, most are either for vans or tent camping. The elevation is about 10,300 ft. There is a restroom, otherwise disperse camping with no amenities. Free!

Beautiful spot. Small campground. Nice lake and some trails. Looks like most folks stay for a while. Restrooms and water available.
