About
Teal Campground is located in the Pagosa Ranger District of San Juan National Forest, overlooking Williams Creek Reservoir at an elevation where the landscape opens into grassy meadows dotted with large ponderosa pines. The 16 first-come, first-served sites offer views of the surrounding San Juan peaks, though the open terrain means limited shade at most sites. Williams Reservoir is the main draw, stocked with kokanee salmon and trout. The Colorado Division of Wildlife maintains fishing access through the campground to the dam, making this an ideal base for anglers. Only a few sites accommodate larger RVs, and the campground fills quickly on summer weekends and holidays. Amenities include potable water, two vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire grates at each site. Trash pickup is provided. Check-in is 2:00 PM and check-out is 12:00 PM, though early arrival is permitted if a site is vacant. Quiet hours are 10 PM to 6 AM, with generator use limited to one hour at a time.
