Chris Park Campground

Chris Park Group Campground offers three group campsites (accommodating 75, 75, and 150 people respectively) located one mile south of Haviland Lake in the San Juan National Forest, 18 miles north of Durango.

The campground features electrical hookups, potable water, vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and a pavilion with grills, volleyball court, and horseshoe pits, making it ideal for larger group gatherings.

Haviland Lake, less than two miles away, provides excellent no-wake boating, canoeing, and fishing opportunities with accessible fishing docks, while nearby hiking trailheads (Forebay, Goulding, Elbert Creek, and Purgatory Flats) offer additional recreation; the campground operates May through September with reservations available through Recreation.

gov at $140-$280 per night.
