Cortez RV Resort by Rjourney

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Accessible via paved roads just off Highway 160, Cortez RV Resort by Rjourney provides full hookup camping on gravel sites with some shade trees. The multi-level property includes a tent camping area on the lower grassy level next to a small creek, plus rental cabins and teepees. A community room houses a TV, microwave, and pool table, while laundry facilities and an outdoor pool serve campers during warmer months.

The campground sits eight miles from Mesa Verde National Park with mountain and mesa views across the valley. A two-acre dog park gives pets room to roam, and the property maintains clean bathrooms and shower facilities. Nathan B. notes the campground "overlooks the valley" with views of the Mesa Verde mountains. WiFi service reaches throughout the grounds, though the property uses dynamic pricing that can change rates even when not at capacity.

The location provides walking distance to shopping and restaurants while remaining far enough from the highway to minimize road noise. Nearby camping alternatives include La Mesa RV Park and Cortez, Mesa Verde KOA. Reservations are available through the parent company, though campers should confirm final rates at check-in due to potential pricing adjustments.

Campers regularly cited the clean facilities, well-spaced gravel sites, and excellent location near Mesa Verde. Some visitors expressed concerns about dynamic pricing policies from the management company.

Great dog friendly campground

We love this friendly, clean campground. There is a 2 acre dog park and a lake right next door. Overlooks the valley, amazing views of the Mesa Verde mtns. Clean bathrooms and laundry facilities.

Nice park, great service

Great manager at this park -- very friendly and went out of the way to be sure everything was good for us. Even delivered my mail to my door. The park is basically an old KOA with gravel sites, well spaced with good hookups. Location is great -- Mesa Verde, Canyon of the Ancients, Cortez and Dolores just minutes away. Easy access to 2 groceries, Walmart and gas stations.

Great except for the confusing “dynamic pricing system” they use

Cortez RV Park is a very nice park, with clean bathrooms & showers; community room with TV, microwave, & pool table; laundry room; good Internet service; outdoor pool (not open in late May); dog park; graveled sites with hookups & some shade trees; great views of the surrounding mountains & mesas; just 8 miles from Mesa Verde; located far enough from Hwy 160 to not hear much road noise, but close enough to drive or walk to shopping or restaurants; multi-level park with tent camping on lower grassy level next to small creek; & cabins & teepees for rent.

We didn’t use all the amenities, but enjoyed the ones we did.

Our only complaint was with the parent company, Rjourney. We called to get rates while 10 minutes east of town on a Friday afternoon, & was quoted ~$30 per night. The invoice showed a $15 lock-in fee to hold a specific site, increasing the rate to $45 + tax. When I called Rjourney, they admitted that was an error & credited my card for the $15.

We decided to stay an additional night & head into Mesa Verde for the day. The on-site office told us the rate would be $46 for Saturday night. When I questioned the increase, he said they use “dynamic pricing”, which can change anytime. I called Rjourney later that afternoon, & they confirmed that their pricing can change, despite the fact that the park was far from being full, so we didn’t understand the increase.

Great views and affordable

This is the old KOA that was bought by RJourney. Great spot central to the trail of the ancients loop.
