Lower Hermosa Campground

Lower Hermosa Campground offers a rustic retreat where the whisper of pines and the rush of Hermosa Creek create a serene backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts seeking solitude and adventure.

Situated in the San Juan National Forest, this primitive campground provides a genuine wilderness experience with 19 well-maintained sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. The absence of water and electric hookups ensures a true back-to-nature camping experience, while the vault toilets offer basic comfort. The campground's proximity to the popular Hermosa Creek Trail makes it an ideal base for hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders.

Located just 14 miles northwest of Durango, Colorado, Lower Hermosa Campground strikes a perfect balance between accessibility and seclusion. The surrounding area is a playground for outdoor recreation, with the extensive trail network of the Hermosa Creek Special Management Area right at your doorstep. The million-dollar views of the San Juan Mountains provide a stunning backdrop for campers, whether they're embarking on day-long adventures or settling in for a tranquil weekend getaway.
