This place is great! Convenient location to access Mesa Verde. Full hook up pull thru site, reasonably priced. Dog park and other dog pen area. Laundry room, game room, pool, hot tub etc. We didn’t use all the amenities but there were plenty. Very friendly staff, especially George! Also we were able to get our propane filled. They offer late check for a nominal fee if you have a tour scheduled. Highly recommend!

This was a very nice place to spend the night to visit Mesa Verde, Cortez & Canyons of the Ancients. The park is pretty quiet. Also, they are part of the dark skies park, we were able to see the milky way last night. The bathrooms & laundry were very clean! I would definitely return.

The campground is located at the entrance to Mesa Verde NP, an unbeatable location considering that the tours available within the park are about an hour from the entrance. This is the place if you like stargazing. The RV Park is rustic, and the restrooms and laundry room are super clean. We had a minor issue, and George worked diligently until it was resolved. Thanks, George and Ricky! Highly recommended, we will definitely come back!

Loves this campground. Our dog loved the big dog park with agility course. There’s a rec room, minute golf, pool and hot tub. Clean and quiet. Directly across the freeway from Mesa Verde National Park with the Cliff Dwellings (which is definitely a must see). Our view from our campsite.

We were greeted by a friendly person as we checked in. The park was clean, well organized, and had very clear signage. Our site was level, partially shaded, and had hookups in the perfect location. The laundry room (which we really needed!) was clean and the machines worked great. The pool area was spotless and the pool itself was very refreshing. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tub, but it was also spotless. This is the perfect place to stay, especially if you want to visit Mesa Verde National Park. Thank you for taking pride in providing a great place for campers to stay!
