Priest Gulch Campground & RV

We had a great stay here from 9/15/25 to 9/19/25. The previous review is correct in saying some of the traffic is quite loud from the adjacent highway. However, our over-all stay was very pleasant. This property is the best maintained campground we have visited. As one good acquaintance put it, "This is a great place to do nothing!" The management and all of the folks we met were very friendly and courteous. We will visit here again in the following years.

I hate to leave this review, because I want to keep Priest Gulch just for myself and those that currently stay and work here.||Priest Gulch and its staff are a piece of heaven, truly. The campground is located right on the Dolores River. Sometimes the river is low, sometimes the river is high…all thanks to Mother Nature.||The location is truly perfect. About a half hour into the town of Dolores, maybe a half hour to Trout Lake, minutes to Rico and close enough to take day trips to Telluride and Ouray for exploring.||The campground itself is spotless. There are restrooms with showers. The front office has a cute little shop with all the basic necessities as well as soft serve ice cream!!! Saturdays are our favorites as the campground brings in warm homemade cinnamon rolls.||I miss it

My first visit was in 2009 and I have spent every vacation here since. I usually stay a month and enjoy it every day. Although this year was mired by distance wildfires and smoke I relished every moment. I travel in a 40 motor coach and accommodations here are super. I will be coming back here as long as I can (82).

This was am amazing location on the Dolores River. Quiet, clean, and an out of the way location for exploring Telluride and Ouray. Super nice staff and owners. Some people have been coming her for 20+ years. Highly recommend?

I showed up late fall RIGHT when they were closing, and they ckd me right on in, dry camp price, cheaper than ANY dry camp price ANYWHERE in Colorado, and I've been all over the state...Great place and people!!
