Fantastic location for anyone wanting to go to Silver Dollar City, and avoid the congestion of Branson. The grounds are neatly kept, and there are plenty of trees for shade. Our only complaint with the place is that many of the sites are very narrow and close together. In the future, we will be requesting a site that’s further back on the property as they provide more room and privacy. Our site (7) was directly across from the showers and bathrooms, which were very nice for a campground. Each shower is it’s own private room, with toilet and sink included. The other thing that makes this campground is its hosts, who were extremely welcoming and accommodating; free coffee to campers, an onsite cafe with great lake views, camp store, and plenty of helpful advice for places to eat etc.

The setting for this campground is beautiful, with plentiful pine trees, a mountain backdrop, and spacious sites. The staff are incredibly helpful, and are constantly working to keep the place immaculate, from freshly graded roads, level gravel sites, and impeccable restrooms and laundry. Wifi was an added bonus, and we were able to watch Netflix on a rainy night with the free Roku that they provided. The location is convenient to many of Colorado’s most popular attractions, and we enjoyed quite a few with only 30-45 minute drives. For those with dogs, you will enjoy the on-site dog park. If you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful retreat that’s not too far off the beaten path, this is the place for you!

Everything about this place was a positive experience, from making the reservation over the phone, to waking up to a gorgeous river view each day. The staff are all very nice and helpful (we locked ourselves out of our camper, and they put us in touch with people who saved us).

Sites 1-12 are now full-hook up, new this year. All sites have lots of shade provided by the trees and cliffs, making the 100-degree days bearable. A nice touch are the large trash barrels that are placed every few sites; convenient when you’re used to hauling trash to a central dumpster.

The store has a lot of necessities, plus fun items for purchase, and being able to rent tubes and have transport on-site is extremely convenient.

For Verizon customers: cell coverage at the store is 0. As you make your way towards the middle of the grounds, you will pickup service.

We will certainly come and camp here again. Until then, we will enjoy our memories of gorgeous river views and a great tubing experience.

We had a site directly on the Rio Grande, and enjoyed both the view and sounds of the water. There are plentiful Cotton Wood trees that provide ample shade, and the location is so quiet, we slept with the windows open each night, the lapping of water and sound of frogs in the background. The restroom and showers are clean and well appointed, and there are numerous gazebos, a large group shelter, paved sidewalk loop, and even a zip line for the kids. The location of this campground is ideal for anyone wanting to enjoy the Great Sand Dunes, as well as the activities in Pagosa Springs without having to move. Both are a 1-hour drive. The only drawbacks to this place are: no sewer hookup on the river sites (totally worth it though), and the greenery areas could use a little TLC, such as mowing and weed-eating. There are many RV parks between this one and Pagosa Springs, but they’re all very close to the highway. If you are wanting peace and tranquility, I don’t think you can beat Woods and River

We stayed in Shady Grove, which has smaller sites than Spanish Oaks, but in my opinion, is the prettier of the two grounds as it has more trees and varied terrain. We enjoyed a short hike on one of the trails that leads up the hill behind the grounds and enjoyed a spectacular view of the lake.

The restroom and shower facilities are modern and clean, and there are enough of them throughout that it's not a long walk from any of the sites. I would be sure to check pictures of any site you are planning to reserve, as there a few that are in bad need of new asphalt and erosion control.

If you're planning to go boating, it's hard to beat the convenience of the boat ramp right in the grounds. There's also a nice dock next to the ramp, making it easy to pick up the person who parked the trailer.

Next time we camp here, we will try to reserve one of the lake-front sites. Site #50 seems to be the best, as it's a pull-through site, and has a ton of lakefront area to enjoy.
