Williams Creek Campground

Williams Creek Campground offers both shaded and sunny campsites with some located creek-side. This campground is situated among cedar, aspen and ponderosa pines and is often full on summer weekends. Some of the 61 sites are located on the banks of Williams Creek, which runs along the eastern edge of the campground. It offers many single family sites, some double sites and some with water and sewer hookups and many with views of the surrounding mountains. There are 32 reservable sites and a few level pull-through and back-in sites appropriate for larger RVs. Services include potable water, trash pickup, vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire grates. Except for the few sites with water/sewer hookups, there is no dump available for RVs after you leave Pagosa Springs. Dispersed camping is not allowed within 300 yards of the campground. Visitors enjoy the area for its fishing, all-terrain vehicle (ATV) riding, and scenic opportunities. The campground is one mile from Williams Reservoir, a popular fishing and kayaking spot. There are several ATV and hiking trails approximately one to five miles beyond the campground.
