Lower Piedra Campground
Lower Piedra Campground
Lower Piedra Campground offers 17 large, level campsites on the west bank of the Piedra River in San Juan National Forest, with potable water, vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire grates available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The campground accommodates RVs up to 35 feet and provides good fishing opportunities, though the river experiences heavy angling pressure.
Access is via a one-mile gravel road (Forest Road 621) from Highway 160, located about 18 miles east of Bayfield and 25 miles west of Pagosa Springs; note that the campground is currently closed for the 2026 season due to October 2025 flooding damage to the access road.
