Open May 1 - October 15

At an elevation of 7,000 feet, this pinon-shaded campground atop a mesa makes for comfortably cool summer nights.

Just a short drive from this mountain sports town and the depot for the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, the Durango KOA provides a panoramic view of the jagged San Juan Mountains. At an elevation of 7,000 feet, this pinon-shaded campground atop a mesa makes for comfortably cool summer nights. It's a fine spot to relax around the pool, challenge your friends to a game of pool and enjoy nightly ice cream gatherings and free movies. The campground now offers pizza! Several outfitters guide kayak and whitewater raft outings on the Animas River, which flows through downtown Durango. Dozens of galleries, shops and restaurants line its charming streets. In the area, you'll also find hiking, biking, fishing, outfitted jeep tours and horseback riding. The Durango KOA serves as a great base camp for Mesa Verde National Park.

Jay and Carol Coates choose to make their living offering great camping experiences because they are RVers themselves: "We love taking RV trips with friends!" says Jay.

Before purchasing the Durango KOA Kampground, they spent 15 years in the fast-paced restaurant business. "We decided to stay in the hospitality industry, and invest in our future, but we wanted to lose the hustle and bustle of Northern Virginia," says Carol. "Durango is a beautiful place to vacation and live."

Since 1992, the Coates have been providing their campers with a very clean, well-maintained park and great service, "We take great pride in our park; we work very hard to keep it this way," says Carol.
