Durango RV parks

[pappaone]

Thinking about taking the MH to Durango,CO so we can take the Durango/Silverton train. Have been looking for someplace to spend a night in the middle of October but it appears all the parks close for the season. Anybody know of a park that is open at that time.

I'll third United.

Note this is an older park, roads and sites are a little tight.
Worth it when the trains come through though.

I also have stayed at the Alpen Rose and I recommend it. Since I have not stayed at the other parks, I cannot comment on them.

We stayed at Alpen Rose in our MH and liked it.

Rich, there are a few you may have missed.

For my dollar, I would stay at the United Campground...link below...It's right north a bit from the train station and the train, in fact, goes right THROUGH the campground. You can sit in your coach and watch the train go by twice a day. Also, the trolley stops by the entrance and will take you directly to the train station so you don't have to drive. Cost is a buck a person. Their rates are excellent.

Another campground is the Sky Ute Casino campground, nearby in Ignacio. Rated mostly 9s. Nice facilities, lots of room and you can use the casino/hotel facilities too. If gambling is in your blood, check them out.

Finally, there is the Bayfield Riverside park in Bayfield. They have a fishing creek running through the campground. Ask for a riverside site. Very nice owners.

We've stayed at all three and I've listed them in my order of preference....Dennis

United Campgrounds
Sky Ute Casino RV Park

Another choice available year round.

Thank you Janss, I must have missed it when I was on RV Park Reviews. I will check them out.
