La Mesa RV Park

We stayed here using Passport America discount on our way to Albuquerque. 

The park is a very basic RV park in the town of Cortez. There is quite a bit of road noise as to be expected in a town. It seemed a bit rundown but not awful. There were some long time residents living there. 

The guy (owner? manager?) who came out to meet us when we pulled in was very nice and gave us a lot of tips on things to do in the area. It is only 8 miles to Mesa Verde National Park so a great place to stay if you want to check that out. He gave us a list of other things in the area as well. Very knowledgable and friendly. 

There was one washer and dryer for a laundry room that shuts down at night. There are dumpsters for garbage but no recycling. The sites are full hook ups with pull through and back in available and they can accommodate big rigs. Each site had a picnic table as well. Overall a convenient place to stay if you want to check out Mesa Verde or are just traveling through. 

Good cell reception ATT and Verizon and the park offers Wifi.

The park manager Jim was fantastic! We had some problems with our Class A and he knew a great guy named Clint who came out the next morning to help us. Jim gave us great advice on routes and things to see. Saved our Colorado vacation time!!!!

La Mesa RV is a quiet campground an easy drive away from Mesa Verde National Park. We were able to complete a contactless reservation after a quick phone call to check for availability (something I appreciate so much in the time of Covid). The leaves are changing and the weather has been beautiful this second week of October. The RV park has pretty trees changing. The spaces are pretty typical RV park - basically just a pleasant parking space with a table.

Great location for those wanting to visit Mesa Verda National park.  This park accepts Passport American for a half price discount. Prices around $45 nightly. I short 8 mile trip to entrance of park. Don't forget your American the Beautiful pass for free entrance into park.
