Campgrounds still open between September and May have no services (water, electric, trash pick up or rest rooms). Please keep them clean and pack it out. Thanks! Miller Creek Campground is about 18 miles north of Durango and 2 miles north of the Lemon Reservoir dam along Forest Rd. 596 (County Rd. 243). The campground has a concrete boat ramp at its north end. Its 12 campsites offer a choice of sun or shade; 5 of the sites share a large parking area. RVs can be leveled without much difficulty. A shady roadside picnic area has 4 tables available for day use. The Upper Lemon Day-Use Area, a fishing-access site, is 1.5 miles north of Miller Creek.
In Bayfield, CO, at the Vallecito Lake sign on US Rt. 160 (County Rt. 501), go north on Rt. 501 for 8.8 miles to County Rt. 240. Turn left onto Rt. 240 and go 2.9 miles to a "T" intersection and campground sign (Forest Rt. 596/County Rt. 243). Turn right onto Rt. 596 (dirt, gravel and paved) and go 3.5 miles to campground on left.
