Woods and River RV Park, Del Norte, Colorado

The Woods and River RV Park is a picturesque, slightly primitive RV Park, with zero amenities, but a terrific cottonwood lined riverfront and wide open grassy RV spaces.  It has great tenting areas along the river and under the cottonwoods, and full hook ups for RV's in the grassy area.  I am surprised that there are any spaces available at all because it is one of the prettiest Parks we have stayed at so far in our travels.  It is cheap to stay here with the Little House and we are so glad we have a whole month in this place.   We pay $388 including electricity, which suits us far better than up the road at The Mountain View RV park and Resort in Creede.

Another beautiful place!

Get a load of this pretty spot!  This is between the river and the RV spaces.  I can't get enough of this scenery.  Yesterday I saw a little buck and two does, bounding around along the riverbank..  It was like something out of Snow White, or Bambi!  I couldn't get to my camera soon enough to snap a pic for you all to see.

On the right is a biffy with actual flushing toilets.

I can't get enough of the beauty of this place.  It is only about 1/3 of a mile to town and it is a nice walk.  The town of Del Norte is a struggling, little, one-traffic-signal joint to stop and fill up with gas, eat a little something and then head on down the road.  There are a few sad store fronts, that are closed more than they are open, and look like they need a bit of paint and repairs, but mainly they need customers.  The locals run to Monty (Monte Vista) or Alamosa for their stuff.  All over town are hastily posted signs that read Spend Local, Shop Local.   It is a Catch 22 like in all small towns.  If there were more stuff and services, the locals would shop locally, and if more locals would shop locally, there would be more stuff and services.

Del Note is a good town, and I like it very much!
