The Best Camping Near Mancos, Colorado

Lots of good parking spots along the road, all well established spots. 
Only con is there were a whole bunch of cows, making noise allllllll night long. If you can deal with that, then it’s a great spot! 

Lots of parking, lots of cows

This was an easy spot and any kind of vehicle can get here. Lots of room, not much to look at in the fall,as far as, right around, but the views are amazing king distance and at night the stars are amazing. I didn’t hear any cows, it was quiet at night 

October

Road is currently closed. Assuming through March like most others in the area.

Closed 

Awesome spot, TONS of places to pitch a tent or park a camper. 

That being said - lots of generators, moderate views, cars driving by often. 

Great Spot - Not Very Wild

We got to town late and our preferred spots were all taken, so we came here as a backup. The spots are all right off of the road and easy to get to. The views aren’t much, but they’re good spots. There’s a bit of traffic on the road but nothing out of the ordinary. 


Decent spot that did the trick

Big spaces easy access for larger campers very peaceful 

Good spot for bigger campers!

This road can accommodate all kinds of camping.  We didn't have to drive very far to find a good spot. Where we camped could fit all size rigs.

Very good dispersed camp

A really great area! Tons of spots as you go up, some more secluded than others so a lot of variety of privacy and sizes for any setup. Towards the top the landscape changes from piñon pine to an aspen grove so you really get a few different options to fit what you’re looking for. Will be coming back!

Peaceful

Stayed here for two nights. Tons of sites along the road, never too busy. Can definitely hear some road noise, but good place to set up for a night or two.

Lots of spots

Dusty, dirt road but can be trouble in weather. 

TMO service was good. Quiet. Dark.
