ColoradoDurangoLightner Creek is about 5 miles west of Durango. It's about a mile off the main road and away from the noise of traffic. We checked it out a few weeks ago, looks really nice, and some friends who stayed there recently strongly recommended it. Nice shady campsites and very friendly owners You might like Lake Vallecito. It's about 20 miles East of Durango and is my favorite place to visit in the area. Do a web search on "Five Branches" camp ground to get an idea of what's available. It's a nice 30 minute drive into town along a road that's FINALLY finished!We enjoyed Conejos River Campground 12 miles west. Close to river ( walk or drive the river for several miles) Several repeaters there when we were last July so that says alot. The Cumbres and Toltec from Chama to Antonito is a nice ride. I prefer the scenery on the Durango and Silverton. But, the C&T's scenery is just different. I think it is worth the trip if you are into trains. As noted earlier, the railroad is closed for fear of fire. The locos burn coal and put out some sparks. I also like to 'chase' the trains out of Chama to 'Windy Point'. One can get some nice photos of the train going across the grade crossing and up the mountain. FloridaOrlando, DisneylandDisney PennsylvaniaGettysburgDrummer boy
South CarolinaMyrtle BeachPirate Land VirginiaWilliamsburgWilliamsburg KOA - Clean campground, professional staff, and all around we liked the place a lot. They had a shuttle to Colonial Williamsburg that people used, but we took the mh, as the parking at Williamsburg, Busch Gardens and Water Country were all ample. We've stayed at the Williamsburg, KOA, (not Colonial), twice. One thing that is nice is the free shuttle service to and from both Busch Gardens and their water park, and Colonial Williamsburg. Would definitely recommend them. We drove through the Williamsburg KOA and it appeared to be the nicer of the two. Colonial KOA - We just stayed at the Colonial KOA a couple of weeks ago. In my opinion, I wouldn't go back. It was muddy and unattractive. Not my kind of place. Of the three, I would go to the Williamsburg KOA. Anvil - We got there quite by accident,
as we had booked four nights at Anvil campground in Williamsburg. Arrived at
Anvil, and the campground was crowded, someone (a seasonal) had his trash bags
stacked on the edge of his lot next to our mh, and there was a train that ran
directly, and I mean directly, behind our motorhome. After the lights started
fading in and out, (an electrical problem?), we decided that Anvil was not a
campground we could stay at. We packed up and drove away, without even asking
for a refund. Pottery - We also drove through the Pottery campground. It is only a big open field, NO trees at all. Of the three, I would go to the Williamsburg KOA. |
