About

State Park

Mancos is a great place to camp. Set in a beautiful ponderosa forest, the upper loop of the main campground and both yurts remain open through the winter. The park is centrally located to a wide variety of local attractions.

The park has two campgrounds – Main and West – on two sides of the reservoir with a total of 32 campsites. Along the northwest side of the reservoir, the west campground has nine campsites (primarily for tent campers) with toilets but no drinking water nearby.

Mancos also offers yurts for a unique and cozy camping experience.

Yurt reservations are required year round.

Mancos State Park provides a great overnight stop or a beautiful location for an extended stay. Winter is a fun time to camp at Mancos State Park.

Come and enjoy a fun-filled, quiet and beautiful time at Mancos State Park!

Quiet midweek

We were the only campers on the west side campground. There were several campers on the east side. No water and just pit toilets on west side. Don’t know about east side. Large spots. Most have a fairly noticeable slope. Many deer and chipmunks. Nice view of lake. Nicely secluded. 5G good cell on T-Mobile. Long gravel road to west side campground.

Yurt rocks!

Futons and mattresses rock hard, but everything else was great! Electricity and a fridge, clean when we arrived, code worked, great stars and quiet campground. Fairly clean bathrooms. Slept on our own cots. Fire rings above ground.

Love this place

We stayed here for four nights in July. It was not as busy as we thought it would be. Definitely stay on the west side of the lake of these sites are available. The sites are far more spread out and quieter than on the other side of the lake.
