From Antonito, CO, take US 285 south 0.3 miles to Hwy 17. Continue straight on Hwy 17 and go 21.9 miles to Platoro sign (Forest Rd. 250). At sign, turn right onto Rd. 250 (dirt) and go 6.6 miles to campground sign. Turn left at sign into campground.
Was expecting dinosaurs, but I didn’t see any the whole time (1.5 stars). And they were very loud all day. Encountered many cows.
As of 2023 they still have potable water (one big hand pump at campsite 10).
We've stayed here a couple times and it's a great spot right by the river. Some of the spots back up to the river which is also nice if you can snag one.
It's all first come first served, so plan on getting there early if it's a holiday weekend.
