Blanco River Group Campground

Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 7,255 feet, Blanco River Group Campground offers a secluded and peaceful escape for those looking to disconnect. Situated just off U.S. Highway 84, this USFS-managed site provides a serene backdrop for family reunions and gatherings with friends. The terrain is defined by its proximity to the rushing Blanco River, providing a quiet, natural setting that serves as an ideal basecamp between Pagosa Springs, Colorado, and Chama, New Mexico.

This primitive campground is best suited for campers who enjoy a back-to-basics experience. While the site is accessible for both tent and RV camping, it operates without hookups, ensuring a truly authentic outdoor environment. On-site amenities are simple and functional, featuring vault toilets for guest convenience. The campground is open year-round, allowing visitors to enjoy the changing seasons in the Colorado wilderness.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to love here, particularly those who enjoy angling. The direct fishing access allows guests to cast for stocked trout right from the riverbanks. Additionally, the surrounding area is perfect for those who want to explore local hiking trails or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of the river valley.
