We enjoyed staying here while exploring Mesa Verde. The park staff works very hard to keep up their park. We stayed five days and will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Gravel sites with a wonderful view of Mesa Verde Park! The view and convenience commands the rating. Close to everything Mesa Verde and is better than being in the Park. This park needs some maintenance, but not serious and is for sale. There were no activities going on in the hall, but it seemed to be a friendly atmosphere. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very friendly people and a nice campground. We were in the back lot which is elevated, so we had great views and clear access for our internet satellite, and the sites are large enough for big rigs with no problem. The sites are all gravel, however, with no grass to speak of and, although the sites are large enough, they feel too close together. They have farm animals and lots of activities for children. All in all we liked this campground a lot and would stay here again. They are Passport America but we didn't know until after we left, so didn't get the discount. Also if you don't have specified directions, it's helpful to know that you reach the campground from the Mesa Verde Park exit -- it's actually on the frontage road and not on the highway itself. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We ended up staying 5 nights instead of three because we so enjoyed our site. Site 46 is probably one of the few Pull-Thrus that is lined with trees. Also the park seems to be part of a farm and has a very open country feeling. You can view Mesa Verde Mountain from most parts of the park. We enjoyed walking around it with our pets. Negatives were the wifi signal was weak and we couldn't get a signal from our TV antenna. However, the park is right across from the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park and so couldn't be more convenient. Instead of moving our rig to Durango, we drove from the campsite the pleasant 36 miles to take the Durango- Silverton train. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The staff is very friendly. They were very willing and outgoing to help us with any of our needs. There is a miniature golf course for the kids. This park is part of a working farm, so access to pettable animals is available. A very clean park. Some sites are very close to each other. It is just across the highway from Mesa Verde National Park and close to the town of Cortez for any and all of your needs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was an excellent place to stay prior to our visit to Mesa Verde. The owners are kind and caring and assure that all services needed were provided to their guests. We had a RV and used one of the cabins for the "extra" people in our party. The cabin was small but clean, and was exactly what we needed. The views were tremendous, and this was our favorite campground during our 2 week stay in the southwest. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very bad experience. We showed up with no reservation. The park was almost empty. We asked for full hookups including wireless internet as advertised. We paid $44.21 tax included and headed for site #6 as directed. Ten (10) minutes later we went back to the office because this site does not have a Wi-Fi signal. The girl at the desk was not willing to help too much. Finally she directed us to another site up the hill,but there was still no Wi-Fi signal. We went back another time the to office. She had no solution, and she did not want to help at all. I explained that we absolutely needed internet access this night and that was why we stopped at this RV park. Then we decide to go elsewhere. and we asked for reimbursement. She refused. I asked to speak with someone in charge. She called another lady who was no more help ! In all we paid $44 to stay about 20 minutes in this park! please go elsewhere. This is a tourist trap. This way of doing business says it all. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park, convenient to Mesa Verde National Park. The pool and hot tub were exceptionally well taken care of. We had a problem with the water hook up leaking badly, but once we told the office it was immediately taken care up. Easy in and out of large pull thrus. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice campground just outside the park with a very friendly staff. It didn't look like much at first but is very nice actually. Very well kept with a laundry which does come in handy sometimes. They have a heated pool and hot tub. They have horses, goats, donkey and Shetland ponies which my kids loved to see. They also have a putt-putt course which cost us $3 each but the kids liked it. They have a couple of full time RV's there, one is a park ranger the other I'm not sure about. We would definitely stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The sites at this campground offer something for everyone, it seems. If you like the shoulder-to-shoulder pull-thru parking lots, they have those. If you like smaller pull-thrus under the trees, they have those. If you like a shady tent spot, they have those. And if you like a shaded back-in, that have that, too, which is where we stayed. Our only complaint, really, was that there wasn't enough gravel at the entrance to our site, and it became a mud pit under our truck when it rained. But, there was plenty of room to park the truck at the empty tent site next door, so it wasn't really a problem. The kids enjoyed the two playgrounds, mini golf (extra charge,) petting zoo, the pool, and playing amongst the trees at our site. We enjoyed watching the wildlife, the views of Mesa Verde, and the quiet. You can't get any closer to Mesa Verde without camping inside the park itself. Seemed a bit expensive, especially with extra charges for kids and having to deal with the mud (yes, I raised the issue our first day, but nothing was done.) WiFi signal did not reach back to site 61. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice older park across the road from National Park. Clean rest rooms. Cheap washer and dryers. Views wonderful. Playground, pool and hot tub. Sites up a hill and some not level, call ahead to pick site. About 30 miles from Durango. Would use again. 10 years full time. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Good overnight for Mesa Verde. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Staff was friendly and helpful. There is a hot tub as well as a pool. I found it a nice way to cool down. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Visited park in 40' motorhome. We were very disappointed in this park after reading previous reviews. Roads were dirt & gravel and very dusty. Staff appeared and stated they were overwhelmed. They were busy making repairs and doing maintenance on park. Park had a general look of being messy and run down. Since it was close to 90 degrees we stopped early to use the pool. It was closed as it was being filled with water. We used the spa, which was open. The miniature golf course appeared to be in disrepair. We were assigned a site in a gravel parking lot in the back of park with no trees. Sites were separated by a small picket fence and wide enough for any number of slides. Our site did not even have a table. Utilities were modern and well placed. We felt that this park is way overpriced, especially since the pool was not open. We will utilize one of the other parks in this area next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice and friendly staff. Our site was level and our neighbors friendly. The owners take pride in their park and it shows. Good clean showers and a nice pool as well as mini-golf. Close and convienient to Mesa Verde NP. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A bit rustic but a very nice place overall and very friendly owners. Big, level, wide open sites with well located hookups. They have a nice looking mini golf course but we didn't have time to use it. An excellent choice for visiting Mesa Verde National Park as it is just outside the entrance. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a well maintained RV Park with several attractions for the family, Swimming Pool, Mini-Golf, and Fosil Hunt in the evening. Park has laundry facilities and clean showers loacated behind the office. The interior roads and pads are gravel. Pad size is 25x70 ft with benches and some fire rings. Park is located approximately 3 miles from the front gate of Mesa Verde National Park and 10 miles from Cortez, Co. We camped three nights in a Travel Trailer in June 2003. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I'm not much of one to give out "10's", but this campground almost deserves one. We had so much fun! Families everywhere. Our thirteen year old daughter was so happy and felt comfortable at any time. Bathrooms were perfectionistically clean. Showers wonderful. Excellent laundry facilities. Friendly staff. Dog sitting service excellent. Rec room fun. Gazebo LOADED with hummingbirds. Nice pool. Birding wonderful. Mini-golf facility was packed with people and a lot of fun. Sites were level and lightly graveled, excellent for tenting. Water and electric available for even tenters. Nice touch. Far enough off of U.S. 160 to have very minimal highway noise. Mesa Verde National Park is directly across the street. Owners advised us to get tour tickets early... excellent advice!!! If there was one bad thing to say, it would be that the campground dogs (Chaco, for one) can be too friendly by coming around and getting into food left at the site. After losing a loaf of bread, we decided to keep food in the trunk at all times. But, hey, that's all part of the fun! We camped here in a camper.

This RV campground is old and in need of major upgrading. The electrical peristyles are coming apart, the water supply is weak and the sites are anything but level. But it is close to the mesas that attract all these visitors. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed at prettier National Park campgrounds, but this is still a nice place. We made reservations in advance to get a full hook-up site, but if we go again we may just take our chances and settle for a dry site as there is not a huge difference in price. In September the campground was nowhere near full. Our site offered little privacy and no shade, but some of the dry sites do. It was very quiet at night and there were lots of stars to see. The park is very stringent about enforcing the bear-proofing rules. Basically don't leave anything out that might remotely smell of food or something a bear might think of as food (like sun-screen). Yes, this does include empty ice chests. We would stay here again as we always prefer to stay inside a park rather than at some place in a tourist town. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We are glad that we drove the extra distance to stay inside the park. It made touring and hiking that much easier. Our site was not very level. It took two blocks to do the job but we feel it was a small price to pay for the scenery and location. There are bear warning signs stating not to leave any food about. We weren't lucky enough to see any bears though. The sites are very private which is nice. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We made our reservations several months in advance to obtain one of the 15 sites with hook-ups. Sites vary in size, length, shady or sunny; beautiful setting with deer walking by every morning. The bathrooms are located throughout the campground with the showers and laundry a bit of a drive near the store; clean by National Park standards. Showers and Laundry are open 24 hours. We had several problems with rangers at this park; they seized our EMPTY cooler we left outside on our site during the day; almost got a citation when I went to pick it up; when they came by our site to review rules, (don't know why as this was before the cooler incident), the ranger had her hand on her gun the entire time. We are a couple in our 50's very middle class non-threatening. Would definitely return to Mesa Verde, (awesome park), but would stay at private campgrounds nearby. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Long drive into park to campground. Very scenic and quiet. Large sites. Bathroom not very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Staying here takes a bit of extra driving. Check in is at the store, then a drive around the multiple loops to pick out your sight, then a drive back to the store to tell them which one, then a drive back to the site to set-up. We stayed here for two nights and enjoyed our time here. Without a tow vehicle, we used our motorhome to tour the park, which is a lot of driving. The camp sites were nice with grassy areas and had some local deer hanging around. Showers were up at the store, no where near the camp sites, but the bathroom areas in the campground were clean and had flushing toilets - always a plus! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground is 4 miles inside the park but the distance to the main attraction, Cliff Palace, is another 16 miles so being inside the park doesn't offer that much of an advantage. Only 15 of the 435 sites offer full hookups. These are first-come-first served. The remaining sites can be reserved. The campground is broken up into 8 loops among the hills and trees so it doesn't seem to be a big campground. The registration office, camp store, and showers are about a mile away. Lots of mule deer roam through the campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
