· Rico, Dolores, Colorado

50 acres hosted by Jaq G.

1 lodging site · 4 tent sites

The ranch was the site of a sawmill in the early 1900s when the old Rio Grande Southern and Galloping Goose Railroads ran through the property along the Dolores River. All that’s left now is a little shack in the middle of the meadow and some remnants of the railroad tracks in the river.

Great spot on the River !

We really enjoyed staying at the ranch ! We were literally right on the rivers edge in a beautiful and secluded setting. Jaq was very helpful and attentive. Supplied wood every night and even a smores pack for the little one ! We will definitely be back when we are in the area next time

Group site 2 // Walk in only

Great location, right on the river, and able to take the 1.5 mile trail to town. Jacqui and Ken were both extremely helpful and accommodating. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

Fall Camping

Jaq was really nice and helpful! Had water and firewood available for us. Our site was private and secluded. Well maintained.

Great Hosts, Great Memories

Jacqui, Rick, and Major Henry were excellent hosts. The campground was wonderful, and I was lucky enough to experience both the campsite and a cabin. Campsite was clean, had amenities, and was right beside a beautiful sounding river. If you can sleep with that white noise, I'd suggest the cabin heh. Cabin was, again, clean, cute, and warm (temps were hovering around freezing when I visited). The bed was super comfy and there were places to plug in devices for charging and what not. Lastly, and this is a biggie, Jacqui and Rick were laid-back, friendly, and accommodating. They were excellent communicators and quickly responded to either text or calls. You could tell they loved the campground and took pride in making it better each day. They also offered suggestions on great hikes and day trips in the area. Major Henry (the pup) is mostly in charge of the campground, though he is on duty most of the day, he will take time from his rounds to come visit and play. :) Summarizing, excellent campground, worth the money. If I'm back in the area, I'll make their campground my home base again. Highly recommend.

Miss this place already!

We had such a good time camping at this spot! Jaq is an amazing host- she made us feel super welcome and her pup is the cutest!! The campsite was very well maintained with a nice deck to pitch the tent on. All the amenities we could have needed were available, including a porta-potty and small hand wash station. Jaq did a great job of giving us our space while also being available to help with whatever we needed- she brought firewood to us both nights we were there, and gave us great recommendations on places to grab a bite, hiking trails, and fishing spots. I caught a beautiful rainbow trout right in front of our campsite. Rico is super cute too and and just a couple minutes up the road. This is a special place and we’re looking forward to visiting again!
