Pagosa Riverside Campground

Pagosa Riverside Campground is a private RV park in southwest Colorado, set along the San Juan River between Pagosa Springs and the climb toward Wolf Creek Pass. Our Colorado hot springs guide covers it briefly but flags it as the dependable all-rounder for this town: a long-established park where the river runs past the sites and the soaking pools downtown are roughly a two-mile drive away. It suits RVers who want a hot springs trip without staying in the thick of town, plus anyone who likes falling asleep to moving water.

Why RVers stay here

Pagosa Riverside Campground is a private RV park in southwest Colorado, set along the San Juan River between Pagosa Springs and the climb toward Wolf Creek Pass. Our Colorado hot springs guide covers it briefly but flags it as the dependable all-rounder for this town: a long-established park where the river runs past the sites and the soaking pools downtown are roughly a two-mile drive away. It suits RVers who want a hot springs trip without staying in the thick of town, plus anyone who likes falling asleep to moving water.

The practical picture is solid. We list 42 full-hookup sites with water, electric and sewer, and 57 sites with 50-amp service, alongside camper cabins for mixed groups. Big rigs are accommodated, though the guide's advice is to confirm the specific site when you book directly. Nightly rates run roughly $59 to $69 for two people, which is approximate and worth rechecking. Summer is the obvious season, but if you are arriving over Wolf Creek Pass, cross it in daylight and good weather; the one trade-off here is that the park sits on the pass side of town, so weather on the road matters more than it would in a valley-floor location.

  • Riverside sites along the San Juan River, with the springs about two miles away
  • 42 full-hookup sites and 57 with 50-amp service, so most rigs get sewer and enough power
  • Camper cabins on the property for friends or family without an RV
  • Big rigs are accommodated when you confirm the site in advance
  • !Rates are approximate ($59-69 for two) and only some sites are full hookup, so ask exactly what you are booking
  • !Wolf Creek Pass is high and steep and gets weather year-round; drive it in daylight and top off fuel in town
