What a life!! We tent camped. We loved it here so much that we extended our stay. Camping in grass was heaven. The facilities were very clean. The hosts were incredibly nice. The pool was perfect. We had cows near by grazing all day, Owls communicating at night and I felt so safe. The train is so close that the people wave as they go by. I promise this is not a mistake. I highly recommend this place. OH! Also the trolley for town stops right at the office. Easy peasy drive to town but also the trolley is good for a night of breweries.

Showers/bathroom good condition, laundromat nice. Sadly the pool closes Labor day wk it was a decent size.The pads are all stone which isnt my first choice putting down outdoor carpet helps.The Durango railroad train runs kinda thru the camp with plenty of grassy seating to wave as the train goes by.Overall nice Campground.

We had a very nice week long stay. Really enjoyed our shady site, visited the pool often. Liked watching the train go by. Being on the Durango Trolley route is a big bonus, we used it a lot to get to trails for hiking and into town.

After traveling all day, arrived to set up a tent. Nice area except we were so close to other tenters, it was like sleeping in a room with 2 double beds next to strangers. Even after I complained, we had tents less than 2 foot from mine. Guess they don’t believe in social distancing.

Absolutely the best campground in the Durango area. Tim and Sherry are wonderful host and its a beautiful campground in the train goes right through it. You just cant get better than this.

This place is very well taken care of and the individuals who work here are amazing! Bathroom & showers were always clean and the grass is beautiful with amazing trees, I can’t even begin to explain how wonderful the views are. Absolutely lovely! Hope to come visit again next year!

Clean restrooms and very clean spaces. They dont allow campfires, and had no grills to cook on. Would have liked to see less rocks and more grass, along with grills to cook on.

Nice campground- good sized,open sites. Fun to have the Durango/Silverton train running right through the campground!

Just keep driving...you will find a friendlier place for your kids and pets.Nothing kid or pet friendly about this place...so many rules and spying eyes that it just is not comfortable.The sites are close togetherNo privacy at allSharp Weeds, and muddy sitesThey charge extra per personThey charge extra for a carThey charge per person that VISITS!!!!No pet run and super strict about your dogs.No firesNo river accessNo this and no that....and they are rude about reviewing the rules.ONE mens toilet for almost 3/4 of the sites including the tent sites.Hard pass.The only thing unique about this place is that the train tracks go directly through the campground...that was interesting.

Stumbled upon this place while having transmission & engine overheating issues. The owners couldn’t have been nicer & accommodating to our situation. Allowed us to drop our equipment on site while we tried to make it to Silverton with a lighter load.Ended up staying since that didn’t appear to be the issue. Will return if ever in the area again.

Great place, definitely recommend. Every site has shade from a tree, the place is very clean and well maintained. Showers are clean and have great pressure. The shuttle to town is 100 feet from the front door. We will stay here again.

A very well run campground. Clean facilities and they even water the roads to keep the dust down. Adequate RV sites to go along with a great dump station. Nice scenery and location to town. A trolly runs into Durango from the entrance of the camp in to a very hard to find parking spot to the downtown. Added perk of a built in alarm clock at 830 am via the train. We would return if ever back this way again.

Nice park. Train runs through it a few times each day n very quiet and dark at night.

The front desk lady was so rude. Couldnt park in the front area for 10mins to make general phone calls and it was early in morning. The husband has better customer service skills and easy to talk to. I thought he was more understanding than the front desk 💀 lady..

Beautiful campground right by the train tracks. All DS trains go right through the tent sites. However, the restrooms were inadequate. 1 stall, and 2 showers. Also, the sink was covered with dead flies.

This was the second time our Boy Scout Troop has camped at United Campground and it was another great experience! Our campsites were in a nice shaded area with grass and we got to see the trains come through the camp the next morning. Great place to say in Durango!

Great location. Rode bikes from park to downtown on riverside trailSuper friendly staff

Nice camp ground, well kept with level sites. Folks here are friendly, too. Rode the trolley down and hiked Sailing Hawks trail, grabbed some groceries at City Market and ride the trolley back which was pretty convenient. Seeing the train through to/from Silverton was neat.

Great campground! Great views, quiet, excepted for the tourest train that came by a few times a day. But I enjoyed that too.

Much thanks to the awesome couple running the front office. They made our stay there great!!! We loved the beautiful location.

The people that run the place are a bit uptight and somewhat unfriendly, but Basic faculties are good The best part is the shuttle that stops outside the door to take you to the train. Anything beats staying at an overpriced KOA....

We tent camped at the United Campground in Durango. This campground is perfect for train watchers as both the Silverton and Durango diesel and steam train run right through it! There are bathrooms and showers on site which are extremely clean as they are disinfected multiple times a day. The grounds are pristine and the camp sites are spaced out so there is privacy for each camper. There is a nice little shop that you stop at upon check in where you can buy souvenirs, camping items, etc. The owners and staff members are so kind. Staying at this campground and train watching was the best part of our time in Durango.

OMG upgrade your internet it is terrible and unusable. Alpen and Riverside can make it work, so can you! Other than that major gripe, this place is OK, BUT the price is good for the area so have to give it stars for that. Also slightly unfriendly staff/owners….

Thanks Tim and Sheri. Its always s good experience staying at United campground. Everything is always working well and clean . Enjoyed the work kamper folks too, especially Mick and Cheryl. See you next year.Rob n Jo Cochran

Had a fantastic stay! Breathtaking views. Super clean and well kept campsite and bathrooms.

3 stars for clean facilities. But the RV spaces are too tight - we felt like sardines packed in. Alpen Rose down the road looks much better. United does have clean bathrooms and laundry room at least.

In a tent, we had shade, sites were grassy, owners/employees were nice and helpful. Would come here again if visiting Durango. They had a pool, laundry facilities (pay for use) and showers.

Staff very nice and helpful. Train to Silverton passes by a few times a day, not a problem. Gravel drives and wide enough sites. Would consider staying here again.

Parking lot type of RV sites, no privacy fence or hedges in between sites, large laun dry room: $2 for washing one load and $1.50 for drying. It is situated just right across the railroad track so sounds of the Durango-Silverton train can be heard at times.

Very good. A bit confusing regards space Assignments however. World go again.

Great spot for RVs.. plenty of spots, but book ahead.Mostly full the past two weeks.. July. Problems with WiFi.. Can not get reliable connection. Comes and goes.. Dont think you can work online with it. Also, cell service was poor for AT&T.. Water tasted funny, like to much chlorine was added.. Owners say its city water.. I went back to bottle water only...

So much to see and do in the Durango area and there’s no better place for your base camp than United Campground. This is our third year to come back. The owners and staff are top notch.

Great campground on the edge of a amazing town of Durango!!! Lovely people, great pool and clean facilities. The trolly that takes you in town is perfect for $1 and we took advantage N went on to historic downtown for the day!!! We cant wait to visit again!

We loved it. Place was clean and easy accessible.

Very friendly and clean. Tent sight was shaded and the view was wonderful. We will be back again.

Nice park. Lots of trees and the Durango tour train goes right through Park two or three times a day. No ice was available in the entire town so bring plenty.

Perfect place for camp in Durango: super close to downtown and restaurants. We stayed 2 nights and were own away by how well kept this place is. They rotate camping sites daily to take care of the lawn, their restrooms and showers are spotless and the pool is cleaned and covered every night. We actually extended our stay here because it was so pleasant. You get great bathrooms, beautiful views, nature and animals surrounding you, a heated pool, WiFi (didnt work well for us though) and the best: You get to wave at the Narrow Gauge train from Durango to Silverton maybe 2 or 3 times a day. Its definitely a highlight and not disturbing. Pets and children welcome! Well definitely be back!

I called and reserved a site for three night, and they mailed me a brochure with a small sticker showing I had paid a deposit consisting of the first nights fee. However, when I arrived at the campground, they had no record of my reservation or payment. Fortunately, I had scanned the brochure and receipt and had it available as a PDF file on my phone.There were three people in the office and two of them were nice and friendly. The third one was checking me in. Even through my reservation showed three nights and I had mentioned at least a couple of times that I was staying three nights, she presented a bill for only one additional night. When I repeated that I had a reservation for three nights, she told me that Id told her I was staying for two nights and acted like I was putting her out for having to redo the charges. At that point, I told her that I didnt like her attitude and Id save her the trouble by just staying two nights.After I finally got checked in and unhooked by tow vehicle, I drove down the steep hill behind the office and found my (also steep) site. It was a drive-through site, but barely long enough to fit my 36 motorhome without the tow vehicle.As other reviews had mentioned. the sites are very narrow. One of my slideouts is no more than three feet from an adjacent travel trailer that doesnt even have a slideout! And even though their website and brochure say that they are located on the banks of the Animas River, the river is not visible from the campground and there is posted private property separating it from the river.Ive stayed in campgrounds that were a lot worse, but I never paid nearly as much to do so as this campground charges. And their website makes no mention of that fact that the fee doesnt include sales taxes.The list of rules covers everything from a prohibition on crossing the train tracks to walk your dog to leaving your pets unattended. How many of us leave their pets in their RV for an hour or three while they go out for dinner or a casino?Finally, they provide dumpsters for your trash, but the steel lids are so heavy that lots of people give up an just leave their trash bags on the ground. I cant blame them.

Good spot a little pricey but full hook up with 50 amp and wifi

Was Definitely A Great Place To Camp..Hoping To Camp Here Again..Everything Is Well Taken Care Of And Employees Were Super Nice And Helpful..Bathroom And Showers Were Nicley Cleaned..I Definitely Recommend This Place To Camp..❤💯

A very nice campground with bathrooms and showers. Lots of shade for campers and the Durango and Silverton goes right through the middle of the campground. The owners are friendly and helpful.

Helpful staff ample sites and a Trolley Stop

Lovely setting, immaculate campground.

This is a tough one. The grounds and facilities are nice. Everything is well kept. People were friendly. Family friendly campgrounds.If that is what youre looking for, then go for it. If you are looking for an inkling of solitude, views, reasonable pricing for tenting, this is not it.However this is based on my expectations and budget for camping so I will not give a bad rating. For tenting you are placed mere feet from your neighbors, practically sharing picnic tables and a few feet of grass. You can see and hear everyone. It is one of the most bizarre camping situations Ive seen.It really boggles my mind that people think this a good value. Ill assume they have never gone to a nice state park or Hipcamp listing or something similar. Nothing particularly bad but nothing particularly good or exciting other than the location.

Great 👍 place, friendly hosts. Nice views and convenient to downtown Durango 👌

Good location, but my LORD they gotta get into the 21st century! They finally stRted accepting CC’s recently instead of sending a check in as a deposit, but you can’t reserve online, there’s n email in case you have questions, and when you call you often get....busy signals? Who gets a busy signal anymore? No chance to leave a vm. 1875 just called...they want their campground back.

Even though the campground is ok, we were very unhappy to see them force us to take two sites. We have a tiny teardrop and 2 small tents and they made us pay for 2 campsites.The staff is not friendly at all. It really seems like they dont like their job.The wifi is beyond terrible. Totally useless.We will never come back and I dont recommend that place.

Phone number does not work, and website has no reservation function, so reservations are an impossibility.

Great campground! Just bring ear plugs if your tent camping. People at the office were nice and gave us a good recommendation for where to go rafting. The tent site was nice, flat and had a tree which helped during a hot summer. Bathrooms were good and clean. Only thing is that between the cows and the train that runs at night, it isnt always quiet, which is why I recommend ear plugs. The view from the tent sites is really nice. I definitely recommend this campground. Also, they let us reserve the pool for an hour which was nice. Lots of good things, just bring ear plugs if you tent camp.

Made a last minute reservation and fortunately they had a 2-night stay available after our long drive. The lady was super nice on the phone and in person to check us in. They were practicing COVID strictly and we appreciated that. We had spot 69 (electric and water only) looking across a lot of RVs but it was still nice. We even made pool reservations which I loved since we did not have to share the small pool with others due to the virus. (This should stay a standard.) So nice after a long bike ride into town. The site is very clean, shady and the river and pasture area is great to look at. Tent campers have an awesome location in a tree grove, best I have ever seen. We did not find river access there but it is close by in a new river front park trail. Would love to come back.

Very nice Campground

Quiet campground on the outskirts of Durango, just a few minutes from the city. Clean, lots of large shade trees, clean amenities, really nice grassy area for tent camping. No train passed or open pool the 2 days we were there.

This was a lovely stay! I called day of and United Campgrounds staff was helpful and found me a great spot. Very coronavirus cautious and kind. My dogs loved it here too, there were lots of nice walkways and a great view of a cow pasture.

Would not reimburse for rain bad camping little kids running around after dark in rain and lighting. Not a singles place you feel like you are camping in a sardine can. Very greedy people

Thank you for letting us charge our electric car there. It was a bit slow, if you had a 4 prong 220 would be great. Otherwise the area is clean, and the pool is open for reservations only. Suggestions, would be to sell a spot away from another camper that has to plug in also, I had spot 104, and not even an hour later 103 was taken too.

The family that owns this place are so kind and hard working. I just love this spot and have been and will continue to go annually. Definitely recommend.

United Campground is so great they treat you like family! Stay here because the owner takes a lot of pride in his property and the staff is the best I’ve ever seen at a campground! I would pay Google to let me give them ten stars!

Nice well maintained campground close to town. The sites gravel and level, they are a bit tight. The staff does a good job helping you into your site. Large clean laundry with 10 washers. They have a camp store, however you need an appointment to get into it.

Great campground! It’s very well maintained. Beautiful scenery. Close to town. I would definitely stay here again.

Super friendly staff, but tent sites have no electricity and are on top of each other. Also cant have fires. I would not tent camp here again. Might be good for a one night if you were traveling through.

It’s probably retirement time for a couple of the people that work here. Very grouchy. No river access. Small sites. Nice grass and well shaded though.

Great spot if youre looking to explore the area or just chill outdoors. Great view, clean restrooms / showers, and safe. Would highly recommend. The only reason it doesnt get 5 stars is the office mixed up the dates, and thought we didnt post for an additional day. After having us come all the way up from the back of the campground, we were accused of not paying for an additional day only to get an oops Im sorry. No oops on my part, but I am sorry the staff isnt focused on hospitality and guest relations.

Heads up!!! They will NOT let you stay here in a skoolie, even when titled as an RV. And ours is a nice looking bus!! They will also lie to you about the reason, saying it is insurance. This is AFTER calling ahead and prepaying.

First time, beautiful Colorado...To this fits this green glory in the north of Durango, the United Campground between Hwy 550 and the rails of the famous museum railway, which unfortunately does not run because of the virus.Clean, quiet with friendly staff, with the trolley bus departing from the front door the ideal starting point to discover Durango.By the way, site 48 has formidable WIFI!Only four stars because pool, laundry & restrooms are closed...

Excellent place to camp, especially for kids. The train ran right beside our tent space and the kids loved putting pennies on the track to flatten them.

Would have given 5 stars if it was actually on the Animas river. There is zero access to the river which was a major disappointment. Other than the water access the grounds are well maintained and friendly staff.

Beautiful park, well maintained. Nice swimming pool. Large trees. Unfortunately they chose to get political. Had to listen to the ridiculousness of the Old man on the golf cart. Spent our evenings watching out for him to avoid any encounter. We didnt go on vacation to have a businesss political views shoved down our throat.

Pretty sad campground.

Pricy

The campground is very well kept and the facilities were very clean. I really recommend staying here.

We just stayed there for 2 nights. RV sites are nice with a good view of the river. I am giving it a 3 because one of the guys that cleans the facilities was the most rude and disrespectful person I have ever encountered. I am not sure I would stay there again.

Amazing staff, public facilities are clean and cleaned throughout the day. Amazing views and its very peaceful

Very bad experience, POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE !! The Old white lady acted very racial towards my family, will never stay again and they hate dogs :(

Very friendly staff, so accommodating. Handled Covid-19 check in like pros. Most sites are shaded with great view of mountains and right next to the Durango/Silverton rail road. Gravel pads and drive, but owners drive around everyday with water truck to settle dust. Thats attention to detail.

Tent camping is cramped, parking tight...

The staff are friendly and helpful! The facilities are nice and clean. Great place for tent camping, they have a large grassy area just got tents! They are kid and pet friendly! The old fashioned train goes through the campground few times a day, that is neat. There is a trolley service for $1.00 one way into downtown Durango and a bus stop at the campground! Definitely recommend!

Clean, friendly, has showers and pool, but very tight spaces and train runs right next to them. Also saw a bear run right through the campground at 930pm! They should check on people to make sure food is put away at night so we can avoid bear incidents. If a kid would have been walking around there that could have been ugly. Also, most pictures dont show how tight sites are so heres a few so you can decide if your cool with that. The wifi didnt work, but hey were camping.

This park is in need of maintenance. I was surprised to see all the grass was dead. The spaces were a mix of dirt and gravel. Otherwise, neighbors were pleasant and staff was friendly.

Spaces are very tight, everything else ok. Lots of big shade trees and Trolly passes right in front, very convenient

Nice campground. Great location, friendly staff, clean restrooms. Only negatives are the Wi-Fi is awful - do not rely on it if you are planning to work remotely or attend virtual school. We had to use our Verizon phones as hotspots to have reliable connectivity. Sewer hookups are also very recessed into the ground - I could not get a full seal with a 90 degree elbow so there was some smell leaking out. Several neighbors had the same issue so I dont think its isolated to our spot.

Staff was extremely rude immediately upon arrival. I’ve seen many other complaints in the comments about the rude woman at the front desk. Repeatedly questioned if I was “partying” or inviting more campers, despite me telling them it was only me and my two sons trying to have a quiet vacation. Map of site shows river, after they collect your money they inform you there is no river access. Another camper ran over my sewage line. Front desk woman said she’d call them and didn’t, then denied saying it and was again very rude to my son. Small, tight spaces; can hear everything your neighbors do. Very bad WiFi. Loud train passes through daily, blowing whistle within feet of your camp/rv site. Paid for parking an extra vehicle and had to park a hundred yards or more away from my rv. Decent location, but I would recommend ANY RV park in the area over this one.

Beautiful property, friendly staff, pet friendly, clean facilities and reasonable rates. Great place to stay!

Nice campground, we stayed a week and would have stayed longer but it was a bit pricey considering it had the smallest space we have ever had in ANY campground, very weak wifi and not even one bar of cell service. Its convenient but expensive considering there are thousands of acres of National Forest land to be enjoyed at a fraction of the price.

They were able to totally turn around my impression. My 3 year old put pennies on the track and we accidentally left them on our picnic table. They graciously sent them in the mail. Our little guy was elated when they arrived today. I appreciate their willingness to make that happen!We were able to take the last two spots they had available. The sites were very large, bathrooms were clean and the pool was a huge perk. Prices are very high but relative for the area. We were frustrated by the fact that they couldn’t tell us if we would be able to stay for two nights or not until checkout on what would be our second day. They need a much better system to determine availability.

Clean, we even enjoyed the pool.... But campsites are tight and bathroom are far

Have RV and tent camped here at least five and never had a problem. Clean facilities and great tent camping sites.

We faced the train tracks (DURANGO-SILVERTON) so had great views & saw 1 steam engine go past. Quiet at night, good place for a home base as we visited Ouray, Telluride & Silverton as well as enjoyed Durangos downtown.

Friendly staff. Very clean laundry facilities. Great experience.

The campground is clean and well kept. Some sites are tight. We have a very small trailer and liked site 59 on the end. The tent area is lovely. We will stay here again.

Park is quiet, clean and well maintained. Beautiful views of river and Silverton train goes by park. Green areas to walk dogs. The only thing that would make park better is an enclosed area for dogs to run. Would definitely return.

Poor customer service. Tight fit for rv. Laundry and bath is clean.

We stayed at this park in mid September and We were very happy with the place. Had clean restrooms and showers, the laundry room was neat and clean. The grounds were well kept. I would recommend staying here to anybody in travel trailer or tent.

Nice quiet RV park with clean restrooms and a large laundry facility. Shuttle to town (4 miles away, $1 each way, comes every 20 minutes) stops in right in front of the park is super convenient. Love seeing the Silverton steam train which bisects the park come by twice in the morning and twice in the evening. I’ll stay here again.

The campground is spacious, well kept, clean, and had an amazing view. However, the staff did not make us feel welcomed. Came off very rude upon booking.

Great RV park/ campground. A beautiful setting, good rates, good amenities and so close to town. We cycled in and mostly on a great cycle way, along the river and railway.The old steam train goes right through the park- day time only.Pretty good wifi.Highly recommend.

Really nice camp grounds right on the edge of Durango. Staff are nice and the bathrooms with showers are kept very clean. The Steam Train To Silverton Runs Right Through The Middle of Camp!!! Train enthusiasts will love that. Lots of big trees for shade all through the day. No direct access to the river from the property unfortunately, but it looks like a park with a trail head is being built down the street so that shouldnt be an issue in the future. Full laundry facility and WiFi (the closer you camp to the laundry the better the signal) and amazing views. Deer wander about and bird watchers would enjoy the variety of species that live in the mountain valley. With a nice pair of binoculars we watched a group of rock climbers do some amazing stuff on some giant rock faces on the opposite side of the valley.Adventure Trip company right down the street to go river rafting, off-roading, etc...Despensery right across the street.

Very clean and adapted well to Covid 19 rules. Excellent views of the Durango valley.

Very clean campground, friendly staff, WiFi was excellent. Beautiful pool that was excellent for our 4 kids! We also loved watching the train that traveled straight through the campground each morning and evening. Definitely would recommend this campground!

Extremely tight. Not a bad camp, but not much except that its cool having the train go by and the downtown shuttle stop is across the street. If you have a class A make sure they dont put you in the trees.

Clean, friendly, nice, beautiful! Had a great time, thank you!
