Sportsmans Campground

Sportsmans Campground is a campground in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. It offers RV and tent camping plus mountain cabins for rent, along with access to fishing, hunting and trail conditions in the surrounding mountains. The campground sits at an elevation of 8,100 feet in the San Juan Mountains, about 20 miles northwest of Pagosa Springs in southwest Colorado, reached by 6.5 miles of pavement and 11.5 miles of generally well maintained gravel off Piedra Road, Forest Service road #631. It is quiet, family and pet friendly, and ecologically friendly, with ponderosa pines throughout. Guests can fish for trout in nearby waters, hike into the San Juan Mountains, visit Piedra Falls, or take a guided horseback ride to Ice Cave Ridge or the Weminuche Wilderness with the on-site outfitter, Crazy Horse Outfitters. A 5 percent discount is available to guests who pay with cash, with reservations made by phone or email. The campground operates seasonally from mid May through mid November, with regular office hours during that period; off-season messages are normally returned within 24 hours. Reservations and information are handled by phone at 970-731-2300 or by email.

Taylor Lane sits off Piedra Road in the San Juan National Forest country northwest of town. Crazy Horse Outfitters is about a tenth of a mile away, Bridge Campground about 1.1 miles, Trail Ridge about 1.4 miles, Trail Ridge Reservoir about 1.7 miles, Ice Cave Ridge about 1.9 miles, and Trail Creek about 2.2 miles.
