Durango campground?

I love Ouray. We were there last year but the water was very low and gray from ash runoff. I'm pulling a 36' fifth wheel so I'll pass on that pass. Haven't been to Durango for 3 or 4 years.

Plus I think the fishing may be better on the Animas vs. the Uncompahgre.

For those who have been there, can the river front back-in spaces accommodate a 36' fifth wheel with 3 slides? The campground isn't open until May 1 so I can't ask them. The photo on the website shows what appears to be a low tree branch so I'm a bit concerned. I'd love to have the river out my back window.

We have stayed at the old KOA north a couple of time. Last time 3 years ago. Nice campground and they have cabins adjacent the river plus access to the river if you are in a camper.

We're planning on spending a week in Durango in August on our way to Denver. I'd like to do some fly fishing. The Durango North/Riverside KOA looks like it's right on the Animas. It would be great to fish from the campground. Has anyone stayed there, done that? Other suggestions are certainly welcome.

Not meaning to get off topic but have you looked Here in Ouray - On the River and it's hard to Beat OURAY

Just a couple hours North on RT 550 or RT 145 - the San Juan's are just Beautiful - Ouray and Silverton are in the Heart of some of the most beautiful Mountains in Colorado.

JMHO,

Another vote for Alpine Rose. Nice place, fishing close.

We stayed at Alpin Rose RV par just north of Durango.

Nice facilities
