Nestled in a protected box canyon surrounded by high cliffs of Douglas Fir and Ponderosa Pine and just minutes to downtown Durango, the 27-acre **HTR Durango** (formerly Lightner Creek Campground) is located on a seasonal mountain stream, making it an ideal setting for nature lovers of all ages.

We had a fantastic stay HTR Durango thanks to the attentive staff and team. Check in was a breeze, and Corbin was beyond helpful getting us situated and set-up. This is important because not all families who are camping have experience, so being approachable and helpful is a must!
He outlined all the amenities and options for us, and made sure to let us know they'd be available if needed. We did lock our key in the cabin one evening so thank goodness we felt like we could ask for help!
This campground is beautifully situated as well and perfect for kids. We had five with us and they loved the facilities and playground. The bathroom and showers were in great shape. All around an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to come back!
We had to pay extra for a creek lot. It would have been nice to know it was dried up! Waste of money. Bathrooms barely flushed, no toilet paper in the men's room early in the afternoon, lots of spiders in the women's bathroom and even in the showers, so we wouldn't use them. The pool was my favorite thing there. We had stayed there years ago before it was sold and had a much better time.
I can’t begin to explain how unbelievable of an experience staying here was! We rented creek side cabin 3 and the view was gorgeous! The location of this site is far enough out of town you feel like you are deep in nature but close enough to enjoy everything Durango has to offer (and if you don’t want to go into town the camp store has EVERYTHING). We had the opportunity to meet Jessica the park manager and she was so kind and invested in making it the best stay possible, extremely impressed by the hospitality we encountered! The site and cabin were extremely clean and decorated tastefully. We will be back and there is no where else we would rather stay! Thank you for such a great experience!
We stayed at HTR for the better part of September 2023. The entire experience was nothing but fantastic! Starting with the staff who was very accomodating and kind. The resort itself, although smaller in size, was well spaced and well maintained. This location offers quick access to Durango and all of its surrounding activities. A mafical place and we have already made reservations for our 2024 stay. Can't wait to gwt back. Thank you staff for making our stay so wonderful!
We booked this in very short notice for the fourcorners bike rally. Loved our little cabin. No electricity (aside from light inside and out) or water in the cabin, but a quick walk to very clean showers with great water pressure and clean bathroom. This truly was a gem to find. The staff was great! Will most definitely stay again.
