This is a very nice place and is maintained wonderfully. The spots are mostly level and not a big deal to level out. It is a little tight but not horrible and we were easily able to pull into our spot with our 39 foot fifth wheel.
The check-in staff lady was very friendly and answered my questions.
Having the train run through the campground is awesome and everyone waves as it goes by! We did the full day excursion and it was wonderful. Durango is a great little town to visit. We took the trolly into town and it costs $1 or $.50 for seniors. There is a great app for your phone so you can see where the trollys are.
Verizon coverage was not good. I did put up our 25ft Cell Phone antenna and the got us from 1 bar to 2-3 bars, so it was usable and was able to stream a college football game. The in-park WIFI was ok, but slow during busy times, which they all are, so no surprise.
I am sure if we return to Durango, this is where we will stay!

The narrow gauge train passes a few times per day, which is good or bad depending on what you like. The campground is really close to the highway and comes with all the associated noise from that.
All the staff is super nice though.

Full hook-ups. Sites are crushed gravel, and reasonably level. Close to each other, but not too tight. Many of the sites are in wonderful shade under massive trees, but there are some that are more exposed to open sunlight. The tradeoff is that the sites with less shade have a much better view of the train as it goes by, and quickest access to the grassy area for dog walking. Our power and water pedestal was shared with the site next to us; everything in great working order. Warning: there was a SLIGHT taste to our water, but we aren't sure if that was the campground, or the new hose we were using. Quiet times were respected by all.
It would be helpful if the reservations clerk could let campers know that there are TWO ways to enter the campground off Hwy 550. Depending on the size of your rig, one of the entrances might be easier than the other. Check-in went smoothly; the staff at this park are still (as of June 13, 2021) being very cautious and careful about COVID protocols - we were asked to wear masks in the office/store. (NOT a problem for us, but took some other folks from other, more "open" states by surprise.)
My only "criticism" is more of a suggestion for future improvements. This campground could be greatly enhanced by making the grassy area between the lower sites and the railroad tracks into a fenced dog park.
The choices of places to walk and exercise your dog there in the park are rather limited, and unless you stick to that grassy area, you either have to go up out of the campground onto the street and walk along the edge (scary and not safe!), or just keep circling around the edges of the park.
But the large grassy area between the sites and the tracks, if fenced and set up properly, would provide a SPLENDID dog area! BTW, Durango does have a wonderful dog park near the intersection of Hwy 150 and 660 - lots of trails to explore, the river to splash in, and space to run and run! Best to go early in the day during summer months because it can get really hot. AND, the locals know that the best access and parking is actually at the far end of the Holiday Inn Express parking lot!
One of our favorite things about this campground is that you get to experience the Durango Narrow Gauge train several times a day! The train track LITERALLY runs past the campground, and each time it comes through, you have a wonderful opportunity to watch the train go by. The loud train whistle can be startling, but watching a steam engine travel past is such a fun experience, and part of what makes Durango so memorable!

Biked to town with 10 year old grandson which was very doable.
WiFi works fine.
It’s so much fun to see the train come through.
I suggest to add umbrellas by the pool as there is no shade.

This is a very nice campground. It’s adjacent to Rt. 550, so it’s easy to access, but since the campground is set down from the highway there’s no road noise. Pretty views of mountains and pastures. The Durango Steam Train goes by a couple of times a day. It’s fun to watch it go by and wave. The train doesn’t run at night so no problem with it interrupting sleep. Close to downtown Durango and the Animas River walk/bike trail. Staff is friendly and check-in went smoothly. Interior roads are crushed stone and level. The corners are tight, but do-able with care in our 40 foot motorhome. Sites are a decent size with a crushed stone landing pad and grassy area with a picnic table. There are mature trees for shade. The park is very well maintained. We had a full hook up pull through site. Water, sewer, and electric worked with no issues. WiFi was good. T-mobile was weak but useable. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be back next spring.

First time I've written a review before leaving. As we tow a car with our motor home, at check-in we asked for a pull through and was charged $34 for a campsite that isn't long enough; still had to disconnect. The water spickot is too low to accommodate our H2O filter. The Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad wanted $180 for two on a shortened, two hour route not going to Stirling. Reserve by phone and drive 10 miles from United CG to board. The men's shower is "closed for the season." The CG is barbed wire-fenced with no direct access to the Anamis River. The tent site section is grass; the rest is uneven stones. The Anaimis Valley views are great. Durango is a neat area, but we'll find another CG when we return; can't recommend United Campground.
