Lower Hermosa Campground
Lower Hermosa Campground
Lower Hermosa Campground offers 19 first-come, first-served sites at 8,500 feet elevation along Hermosa Creek in San Juan National Forest, serving as a trailhead for the popular 25-mile Hermosa Creek Trail used by hikers, mountain bikers, and anglers.
The primitive campground features vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site, but has no potable water—visitors must bring their own supply.
Located 14 miles north of Durango via Highway 550 and Forest Road 576, the campground operates May through September with a $18 nightly fee and includes a nearby horse corral for equestrian camping.
