Navajo State park is in southern Colorado . Near the San Juan mountain range and a Southern Ute Reservation. They have some really cool rocks that show how the indigenous would communicate and tell stories with pictographs and hieroglyphs. The reservoir is surrounded by beautiful views. Unfortunately we did not get to go on the reservoir because of wind (we have an inflatable kayak). We hiked some of the trails and had a fun time with that. There are a few short trails, if you like hiking and doing long trails there is not much of that.
We camped at Arobeles Point camp ground, it was about 20 minutes from the visitors center. We thought the campground was clean and nice. Especially for a 'primitive campground". It had tent pads, a picnic table, a fire pit, and bathrooms. The campsite we were at was shaded by trees it was a great campsite! I felt we had more privacy there than of we had camped at one of the main campgrounds. If you want to be able to launch a paddle board or kayak from your campground we suggest windsurf beach (it's not a sandy beach) but it goes right to the water for...
Read moreLet's see, I booked a site at arboles point, it was great for a family of 6. There is plenty of room for the boys to run around and for our daughter to have her own tent. There were two vault toilets just in a 1-2 minute walking distance. We did not experience ANY mosquitos, which was a win to us. No raccoons, either. Nights got pretty cool, which was perfect for our family, but from 1 pm till about 5 pm, it was blazing, lol. The ONLY downside was the water and TRYING to get in. Although we were close to the water, we had to do a small hike to it. There was no real "path" but one that was walkable, The mud or sand around that area was like quick sand, I walked to the water and was instantly up to my knees in mud. We were able to get in for one day, but the water was pretty cloudy and did not want to risk it. If you are a star gazer, you will adore the night. The number of shooting stars you WILL SEE, make everything else in the day feel like it was worth it. I would...
Read moreLoved this place. We had a pull through site next to the lake. The staff were fantastic. Dianna helped us get sorted out before we ever arrived and when we had tire issues coming in, they assured us that they would work with us if we needed to extend our stay, then provided several tire shop recommendations for replacements. We so enjoyed having a hot cup of joe watching the sun rise and a nice cold coctail at the fire in the evening. The staff went about their business cleaning and maintaining the park almost transparently. I am an outside person so that is where i spend my time. If you are not, you wont even know they are out there taking care of business. This park is out kind of in the middle of no where...Perfect, just the way we like it, away from the noise and light pollution. Quiet enough to here the crickets and frogs without screaming kids, barking dogs, and...
