Matterhorn

Matterhorn has quite a few reservation sites and some first-come, first-serve sites. The first time we stayed here, over 10 years ago, we scored a nice FCFS site. We've stayed a couple times since.

There are showers and flush toilets. No dump station. Water is shared at spigots throughout the campground. FHU sites have water and sewer.

Site 9 is a winner, right next to the Lake Fork of the San Miguel. When the Lake Fork is undisturbed, it harbors some small brown trout that are easy to catch (and release.)

There are sites around the outside of the loop that are forested and sites on the inner side that are not. Inner loop sites are good for Starlink. Cellular service is spotty, both ATT and Verizon register, but a directional antenna or cell booster are probably a requirement.

There are about 5 FHU sites that are reservable. If you want to reserve, Campnab is your friend if you're unsuccessful at recreation.gov. Due to its proximity to Telluride, Matterhorn is VERY popular. But it's worth the effort.
