I hate to leave this review, because I want to keep Priest Gulch just for myself and those that currently stay and work here.
Priest Gulch and its staff are a piece of heaven, truly. The campground is located right on the Dolores River. Sometimes the river is low, sometimes the river is high...all thanks to Mother Nature.
The location is truly perfect. About a half hour into the town of Dolores, maybe a half hour to Trout Lake, minutes to Rico and close enough to take day trips to Telluride and Ouray for exploring.
The campground itself is spotless. There are restrooms with showers. The front office has a cute little shop with all the basic necessities as well as soft serve ice cream!!! Saturdays are our favorites as the campground brings in warm homemade cinnamon rolls.
I miss it already and I just left this morning.
If you must, book early, I mean real early, like a year in advance. That's how special this place is, a slice of heaven that I'd love to keep all for myself!!! read more
