We just got back from a trip that included a week in Dolores Colorado.  We had planned to move on to some other places, but the RV park we stayed in was so nice we extended our stay from 3 days to 7.  The park is called Dolores River Camp Ground [www.doloresrivercampground.com].  It's right on the Dolores River and has large comfortable spaces with full hookups in a park like setting.  Normally, I avoid RV parks because they tend to be big parking lots with the RV's packed in like a NYC hydraulic lift parking lot.  

At Dolores River Campground the spaces all have nice lawns and plenty of shade.  You are far enough away from your neighbor, you don't feel like they are on top of you.  Typically the spaces are about 25 feet wide, with a number that are even larger and more private.  The night we got there they had a dinner for all the guests for free.  The owners live on site and are extremely nice.  The grounds are well kept and the bathrooms are spotless.

Did you try out the white water rafting on the Delores River?  We have been on the Arkansas River a few times; pretty thrilling but never made it further west to the Delores.

I'm glad you had a nice trip. The campground looks very clean and pleasant.

I'm trying to remember the last time that I saw grass in a campsite....maybe the 1970s or 1980s???? It seems that most are used so much that they are only packed dirt - mud when it rains.

Jato, I'm past the time for white water rafting.  Too many broken bones and such.  And my wife wouldn't go within 40 feet of a raft.  I am happy that I have convinced her to go camping in our Pod.  I didn't see any rafts go by while we were there, but imagine that up stream they may do it.  Just down stream of Dolores is a the McPhee Reservoir.  Good bike trails around the area, though.

David, that's why we have only been to two RV parks since getting our Pod.  If I'm going to be in a parking lot, I may as well stop at Walmart for free.  Normally, we camp in state or national forest campgrounds using the senior pass for fed sites.  The one we stayed in at Great Basin on Thursday night was breathtakingly beautiful and hardly anyone goes there.  ....but it's a little on the remote side.
