Camping in Southern Colorado - Ideas??

I would suggest the United Campground in Durango. It has a pool, the train goes by it everyday and it is just a nice park. We love to camp in the first row by the tracks. If you go on the train, there is a place for zip lines that you can only get to by train I believe. You can go to Mesa Verde from the park and also to Silverton by car. The train is great, but it is fun to drive there too. Then you can look around and see some of the mines. It is a nice centralized location. I'm sure they have horseback riding around Durango too - just never have looked into that. There is a trolley car that stops by the park and it will take you into Silverton. If you are there in the summer, you might want to check out the melodrama/vaudeville at the Strater Hotel. Our kids always loved going there. It was gone for awhile, but I think it is back. Enjoy the area. There is so much to see and do. We have been going there for over 40 years and never tire of it.
