Cayton Campground

Cayton has two loops and a dump station that costs $$, regardless of whether you're a site resident there or not.

The upper loop is non-electric and the lower loop is largely electric sites, some of which are close to the Dolores River. Most sites are reservable, but there are some first-come, first-serve sites. Cayton is easier to reserve than Matterhorn, for example. Water is available from shared spigots. Warning - site 6 is reservable, but it is very difficult to impossible to get level in a motorhome. DAMHIK.

Cayton is close to Lizard Head Pass, with miles of hiking trails. The river and the adjoining creek offer good fishing. Telluride is about 20 miles away, across LHP.

There is no cell service. Starlink should work at some sites, but will have issues with trees at others. The lower loop will have some noise from CO 145 during the day, but the road is rarely used at night.

Overall, Cayton is a good campground and recommended.
