Nestled in a protected box canyon surrounded by high cliffs of Douglas fir and Ponderosa Pine … LIGHTNER CREEK CAMPGROUND comprises 27 acres complete with a seasonal mountain stream that makes the perfect setting for nature lovers of all ages.
The campground is owned and operated by outdoor enthusiasts and we enjoy sharing our passion of camping and the great outdoors. Whether you plan on sitting back and listening to the sounds of the surrounding nature, hiking the Dry Fork Trails of Perins Wilderness State Park, or visiting any of the other local attractions, the LIGHTNER CREEK CAMPGROUND experience is postcard perfect.
The paved county road off HWY 160W to our campground is well maintained, making the 1.5 mile drive easily accessible, regardless of what you are bringing. The drive to downtown Durango is a quick 5 miles.
Our mountain climate is ideal: cool average temperature most evenings during the summer months. We are located at 7,000′ elevation, so our days can be tee shirt warm with evenings chilly enough for a sweater.
Enjoy a wide variety of recreational activities in the Durango area, including a plethora of hiking and mountain biking trails, fishing, river rafting, rock climbing, zip-lining, off-roading, horseback riding, shopping, dining and breweries, and much more … There is so much to see and do in the Four Corners Area!

Loved it here the site offered almost everything we needed while camping there. From selling ice, to renting a fire pit, propane tank refills, and even adapters for the RV plugs in the site. The place was clean and close to everything in the area
