Lower Piedra Campground

Can a campground feel like a secret hideaway while offering accessibility to renowned attractions? The Lower Piedra Campground in Colorado strikes this balance beautifully. Situated along the serene west bank of the Piedra River, this campground features 17 spacious, shaded sites designed for a peaceful escape, yet it remains just a short distance from U.S. Highway 160. Anglers will appreciate the river's fishing opportunities, while nature enthusiasts can enjoy the rustic charm of camping amidst dense trees and the sounds of flowing water.

Each campsite is thoughtfully equipped with picnic tables, fire grates, and access to vault toilets and potable water, ensuring comfort without losing connection to the natural environment. The campground's proximity to attractions like Chimney Rock National Monument, only a 10-minute drive south, enhances its appeal for day trips exploring ancient Puebloan ruins. Located between Bayfield and Pagosa Springs, the campground is ideally placed for campers seeking both tranquility and easy access to cultural and recreational activities.
