About: The East Fork Campground is 5 miles southwest of Treasure Falls (11 miles northeast of Pagosa Springs) about 3/4 mile off of U.S. Highway 160, on the East Fork Road (Forest Rd. 667). Its 26 campsites with a few level pull-thrus are shaded on a bench above the East Fork of the San Juan River. There are 17 reservable sites and 9 non-reservable sites. Short, steep trails lead to the river bank, and there’s plenty of fishing upstream, as well.

The East Fork Road parallels the river for several miles on its way to and beyond the Continental Divide (4WD required beyond its junction with Forest Rd. 684). Two miles past the campground are trailheads for the Coal Creek and Quartz Ridge trails. The East Fork Road to Elwood Pass and Silver Falls is popular for 4WD and ATV use.
