Reviews of Matterhorn Campground
"The people serving at this campground, Jocelyn and Anna, were terrific. Jocelyn met us on the first day of our stay, and helped us pick a great site. She and Anna were cheerful and always ready to serve. They kept the bathrooms clean. It was so nice to take hot showers at the end of beautiful days of hiking. The campground is peaceful and has all the basic amenities."
"Matterhorn Campground was great. The host we met, Jocelyn, was fantastic, and there's a stellar view regardless of which direction you decide to look from your site. Easy access to Galloping Goose, as well as the forest road that leads to Trout Lake (and a short drive to Telluride // not all that far from Ouray). Drove up from Albuquerque for a walk-in site and couldn't have asked for a better spot. Fairly certain these are the best maintained bathroom facilities (including the vault toilet) anywhere I've camped within the National Forest system."
"Top 5 campgrounds I’ve stayed at and here’s why. 1. The views. Holy smokes this campground is just tucked off of the road and 25 minutes away from Telluride with some of the best views of the mountains with sunsets that don’t disappoint. 2. Showers. Yes they are included with your site fee. Ya might get a warm one, might get a cold one, regardless it’s great to have the option to clean up after a long day on the trail. There are 2 shower stalls in the women’s and 2 flush toilets which is such a “luxury” compared to pit toilets. There is even the option to buy a shower 2023 rate is $8 and you don’t have to stay the night. 3. Book online. Reservations are available online or if your lucky snag a first come fist serve spot. some sites are more expensive if you need electric or water. But there are even 3 tent only campsites that you have a shot hike to, with absolutely gorgeous views. We just needed a spot for the proximity out of Telluride, and got one with full hookups, which we didn’t think we would need but it was great to fill up water, charge our electric bikes and dump our grey water. The rate this year is $40 a night. 4. Trail access and wildlife viewing. This is a small campground with access to a stream, trail and just a short drive to ghost town by Alta lakes. We’ve been hanging out with a snowshoe hare that greets us all the time at our site all weekend. 5. Space. This is a small campground but it’s well designed. There is lots of space between sites and even though our site 7 had no trees and was situated next to the bath house it was really quiet and peaceful. With all that said. This is the WORST campground ever. I just would never stay here and recommend you NOT booking it so I can come back. Ok in all seriousness, the campground hosts were so friendly and happy. They are so sweet and even sell firewood at their site for $10. I was in and out of 1 bar for cell service and our next door neighbor had his STARLINK out. There are trash dumpsters by the entrance, and our site 7 had a pole, tent pad area, fire ring and picnic table. This place is wonderful and I would go back in a heartbeat."
"I loved this campground!! For sure my top 5! We had a beautiful spot right next to the river with gorgeous views of the snowy mountain. Got to meet one of the hosts & they were sooo helpful & friendly. They even had some local recommendations. Has running water, flushing toilets, & warm showers. Just spot on! This will be my go-to spot when I come back. "
"Matterhorn Campground is the best! Anna, the campground host, was super helpful and knowledgeable about the area. She kept everything clean and well stocked. We did not have reservations and were so happy to find a beautiful spot open by the river, close to the bathrooms, with a picnic table and fire ring. Love this place!"
