We stayed here 6 nights to tour the town of Durango and surroundings. The campground is typical layout for RV parks - sites are very close together with utility's-sides facing each other and shared grass/picnic table locations. The interior roads are all gravel and so there is a good amount of dust kicked up. The owners/managers have very nice flowers planted all around and the office has a nice little store area that is connected to the laundry and bathrooms. Everything was very neat and well cared for. The sites in the front are sunny, all sites back of the office are shady. We were met immediately as we pulled in and escorted to our site. We had a nice view of a neighbor's field next door, with their two horses grazing. Noticed a nice playground area for kids and a swimming pool. Huge fenced in area for dog run - some grass, mostly dirt as well as a smaller area.
Enjoyed a 2 hour horseback ride up a steep mountain trail using Over The Hill Outfitters.
Crepes stand in historic section was delicious.
Dinner at Chimaya Stone Fired Kitchen - very good.
San Rita Park - Parked there and then walked the paved river trail. Saw some skilled kayakers and "surfers" riding the rapids. Pretty cool!
Go to the Historic neighborhood (Main Ave) for nice window shopping and eating - nicer then the busy Camino Del Rio/Hwy 550.

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and had a packet waiting for us but an employee pulled up in a golf cart and showed us to our spot also. The water line was completely frozen because it had lost power but they got everything working for us fairly quickly. Sites were gravel/dirt and some grass but it had just snowed so everything was under snow for the majority of our stay. Our site was pretty level for the most part. We didn't use the restrooms but the laundry room was clean and everything worked well. I want to say there were at least 8 washers/8 dryers. $2 wash/$2 dry. This park was very convenient to Durango which was exactly what we wanted. I think it was a bit overpriced for what it is but we would stay here again.

We have been on the road camping since June and this is our favorite campground we have stayed at this trip. We booked 3 to begin with but ended up staying 7 nights. We fell in love with this campground, Durango, and the people. The campground has a fenced in 2-3 acre dog park, that our dog fell in love with. The grounds were well kept, staff was beyond friendly, laundry room was clean, and they had a restaurant that served pizza, etc (it closed for the Winter while we was there). They had a seasonal pool, large gas fire pit, games, a trail right behind the campground that went up on a mountain overlook. We wanted to stay longer, but unfortunately they were booked. We will definitely be back to this campground. We stayed a week so they offer a weekly rate.

The sites are a little crowded, at least where we were at in site 64. This made it difficult to set up the RV at first even though it was a pull through site. Some of this might have been due to having a long bed dually.
The park has some great amenities like laundry, a camp store, pizza place, pond, etc. overall it’s a great place and I would definitely stay here again!

So we really needed to stay In Durango a few more days to deal with issues surrounding the accident. The owner’s / employees were amazing. They somehow found us a spot for 3 more nights even though they were booked solid. They were very accommodating and friendly. When I return to Durango I’ll definitely stay here 😀.

Great location! The happiest, kindest staff! Doug and Judy truly make you feel like a part of their little RV park family. They have fun activities, like trivia nights and dog parades! They even have prizes! Love all the trees, waterfall trout pond, volleyball, tetherball, cute convenience store & humongous 2 acre dog park and even dog bathing station! The pull-thru spots are so great and especially spacious for big rigs! You must try the pizza by George & Theresa too! The location is perfect too! You’re just far enough from town so there’s no hustle and bustle, but not too far to drive in and experience all the awesomeness Durango has to offer! It’s only about 5-10 minute drive. We will def be back!! Thank you for a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
The town of Durango is only about a 5-10 min drive and the Silverton train station is there, as well as soo many little shops, restaurants and breweries! There was even a little county fair while we were there for Memorial Day. Definitely try the Breckenridge Beer Garden at the Double Tree. You can sit outside, right on the river and watch rafters go by while you eat.

This park is one of the best we've ever visited. Not because it's fancy (it isn't), not because of any one amenity, but because of the overall feeling that we had while staying here. Family friendly yet somehow peaceful at the same time. The cafe with plenty of hot breakfast options as well as pizzas at dinnertime. The 2 acre dog park with separate small dog area. The huge maple and cottonwood trees. The friendly staff. The heated pool. The views of the surrounding red cliffs. All wonderful.
The play equipment is somewhat limited, just a swing set and a tetherball pole. But there was plenty of space for our son to run and play. The dog park is a wide open field, great for letting the fur babies run or playing fetch. Off to the side there's a small creek/drainage area with some native shrubs which doesn't look like much but our son and dogs loved exploring this area.
Check-in was friendly and efficient, with a greeter walking out to your rig, handing you the campground information packet, explaining a few key things, and then passing you on to the guy in the golf cart who escorts you to your site. If you check in late, there's a small office right at the entry point with a cork board outside where an envelope with your last name on it will be waiting for you.
The sites are kind of a mixed bag, but something for everyone I suppose. We had a "double wide" spot close to the office, number 62. These sites have a parking space next to the regular RV space so you have good separation from your neighbors. But other sites were sometimes cramped. There are two general areas to this park: around and west of the office is where the big trees are and the whole area is in full shade more or less. Then there's another area west of the dog park that has just a few trees, although most sites seemed to have some sort of shade. These sites are interesting in that one site pulls in from the left, the other from the right, so that your drivers sides are next to each other. There's not a lot of space between rigs on this side, but each has a decent patio space on the passenger/door sides.
Now the internet. Verizon had one tower with only one band available, and it was completely saturated to the point of unavailability in the evenings. All devices showed 3 bars, but I'm rating it as one bar below because the capacity is insufficient for the load. On speed tests, our iPad got 1.2 Mbps down and 0.5 up, one of our phones got 0.6 Mbps down and 0.1 up, and the other phone had essentially no connection. The campground WiFi was not much better, and we were right next to the office. T-mobile had 1.5 Mbps down on Band 71, which is the newer 600MHz band that not all devices support. If you want to work remotely from this park, better be done with your work before 4pm!
Other downsides include unlevel sites in the tree section (we could barely get level in our site). Also the only dumpsters are way out by the entrance to the park, so depending on where your site is, it's a bit of a walk to take out the trash. Annoying when you have dogs and need to dispose of their waste several times per day.

We had a two night reservation at Alpen Rose and I called in at 4:45 the day before our reservation was to start and asked if I could get in. They were very helpful, and accommodated us and put us in a spot where we could stay in the same spot all 3 days despite being quite crowded. Judy was great. We arrived after hours, and it appeared our electric did not work. After the office opened in the morning, I went and told them that my surge protector was not allowing power to the RV. They came rapidly and checked it and said it was reading normally, but noticed a loose wire so put in a new 30 amp plug. To make a long story short, it turned out the problem was with my surge protector. It had apparently given its life protecting my van in some prior Campground without me knowing it.
Our site was pretty tight. It could’ve led to a less than optimal experience, except our neighbors were exceptional and we ended up having a great time. I would recommend getting one of the pull through sites. The ones in the back of the park are shaded and very nice. The ones in the front of the park towards the main road are very big but some are completely exposed to the sun. Some of the largest RVs were parked out there
All in all I would give Alpen Rose high marks. The customer service was great, The campground, while tight, is in a great location for visiting Durango.
