First, plan ahead! Most campgrounds here don't offer full hookups, but they do provide the basics. You'll find picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets at most sites. For drinking water, look for the scattered faucets throughout the campgrounds. Make sure to plan accordingly so you are not scrambling to find water or a dump station.
When it comes to choosing a spot, size matters. Many campgrounds can accommodate RVs up to 35 feet, with some like Williams Creek even welcoming homes on wheels up to 50 feet. Remember reservations can be made up to six months in advance for individual sites and a year ahead for group sites. So, don't wait until the last minute to secure your perfect spot in this beautiful forest! Since our Tiffin Wayfarer RW is under 26ft, we haven’t stayed there ourselves, but the photos look beautiful.
We've found that navigating San Juan National Forest in an RV can be an exciting adventure, but it requires some planning, especially if you don’t have a satellite phone or wi-fi. For extra peace of mind, it is crucial to always carry a current topographical map, as cell phone coverage can be unreliable in remote areas.
