Just a short drive from this mountain sports town and the depot for the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, the Durango KOA provides a panoramic view of the jagged San Juan Mountains. At an elevation of 7,000 feet, this piñon-shaded campground atop a mesa makes for comfortably cool summer nights. In season, wake up to buttermilk pancakes or strawberry & cream waffles served at the Kaboose Kafe every morning. In the evening, fresh made pizza can be delivered to your site. The dessert bar has sundaes, root beer floats and fresh baked pies. Join in the fun with nightly movies, weekly duck races, mini golf, a heated pool and kids' activities. Pick fresh herbs from Carol's garden for your favorite camping meal. Lodging choices include basic Cabins to the all-out comfort of Lodges. Several outfitters guide kayak and whitewater raft outings on the Animas River. Make Durango KOA your base camp for Mesa Verde National Park, only an hour's drive away.
