This was such a good place to stay! First of all, manager John really saved the day when we needed to borrow a tent. He was very kind and helpful and made sure our trip continued without a hitch. The amenities are clean and convenient and we really enjoyed the shared kitchen! Perfect if you don’t want to bring kitchen supplies because it is very well stocked! Highly recommend!
Thanks Mary! Come back and see us :)
It was a great stay, the landscape is gorgeous and the camp hosts have a very good vibe and maintain that on the property
Thank you Alyssia, so glad you enjoyed your stay!
Other reviews were not kidding about it being so peaceful here having plenty of amenities AND a cool vibe. They even have a fun house with ping pong, fooseball and other games. We woke up to a rainbow with a beautiful view of the Ute Mountains in the distance. Hosts are friendly and helpful, and location is just a few mile outside Cortez and has a couple great Mexican restaurants! This campsite even offers Teepees and cabins to stay in, a really unique opportunity for a nice experience.
Thank you Windy! We are glad you enjoyed your stay t Bright Star!
This campground had so much to offer! Our original plan of camping in BLM land was foiled by the "elk and deer winter ranging" blocking off the majority of the dispersed camping areas around Mesa Verde National Park, but we were luckily able to land a spot at this amazing place! It may be lacking some cover, but it makes up for it in the large covered patio area that is packed with entertainment! They have foosball table, cornhole boards and ping pong to name a few! The kitchen was super handy so we didn't have to tap into our water tank for dishes. Owners were working hard on site to get the teepees up for the season and they were so friendly! A peaceful area that is just a quick drive from the park! All the main amenities were connected by concrete pathways that are lit by solar lights at night and you can tell they are continuously working and adding things to better the experience for future campers. They also have bunk cabins, teepees, sites with cover and I think we saw a yurt coming in. All in all, it was probably our favorite last minute campsite booking!
Stayed here a week in October it was wonderful
The owners of this camp are very friendly and the amenities are good. Showers, bathrooms, ice, strong wifi, a kitchen, and a very fun communal patio space. Come here if you’re camping near Mesa Verde and want to meet other travelers!
Nice site & facilities, very friendly folks with lots of plans for improving the site (teepees coming soon!) 420 friendly which Mom liked. Stayed in the dorms that really have a summer camp feel, bunk beds & plywood walls.
The owner is a great guy. The place is great . It has bathroom, shower , and a kitchen . I used the food from the kitchen to cooked my breakfast in the morning. I left a tip .
My motorcycle and I camped here. It was little difficult to find it but if you call the number , they will guide you & send you a message for instructions on how to get to the site.
I rode all the way near the end. There are mailboxes on your right as well as 'Private Road' and 'Do Not Enter' signs. Follow the Camp sign LEFT, watching for the driveway o n the left marked with a white sign with our logo and address, posts with Tibetan prayer flags, a FUNKY FLASHING TRAFFIC SIGNAL & green gates.
I’ll camp here next time .
This is an absolutely amazing place to stay and camp in the desert. The owners are amazing and have gone above and beyond to make this place awesome. It’s like college dorm style living, but outside. Hot showers, pit toilets, and a fully appointed public kitchen with an ice machine really bring it all together. I really enjoyed using the kitchen and covered sitting area, which is nice to get out of the wind. The observation deck is also a great place to sit and watch the sunset and stars. I will be coming back to here again and again! Would be an awesome place for a teardrop camper.
