    Ouray KOA

    Heaven in the mountains

    Wow is all I can say! After surviving towing the airstream up Red Mountain pass, we pulled into the KOA and couldn’t be more happy. Our site backed up to a stream that sounded wonderful with running water. Each site has a picnic table and a combo fire ring/grill. They even welcome you with three large fire logs! They now offer horseback riding right from inside the KOA. They have everything from teepees to tent, cabin and RV camping. A great restaurant on site with a well stocked store and laundry facilities. This place is really well run. The only complaint is the WiFi, which is non existent, however, they are currently working on that and should have campwide WiFi by summer.

    RV sites, some tent sites and cabins. Cabins have a single and a bunk, power, porch light, picnic tables and firepit. Office has firewood. Bathrooms are stall, showers are stall/ curtained. Camp was clean and well kept. We brought a small grill and scavenged rocks to set it on; ate like kings. Great views of star as from this elevation.

    Elkhorn RV Resort

    Great spot in Lake City

    This is our first visit to Lake City so I've nothing to compare it to, but I loved this RVPark. Linda was gracious and accommodating. Bathrooms were spotless AND warm. We are at tail end of season so the park was not full at all, but even if it had been there are tables and trees between each site keeping from feeling claustrophobic. We drove past the other RV Park in town - on Henson Creek - you are on the river, but also on the highway and it was packed in. Elk Horn is off the highway nestled against the mountain, and just 4 block walk to "down town" Lake City. Highly recommend this spot. Call to make reservations. Linda gets right back to you. We also stayed on one of the cabins to give kids more trailer room. You provide the top bedding, but there was a queen bed and a bunk (so 4 could sleep easy). No bathrooms in the cabin but your close to the bathrooms.

    Ancient Cedars Mesa Verde RV Park

    Rustic resort on the doorstep of Mesa Verde National Park

    My family and I stayed here for 3 nights in late July in a 34-foot travel trailer. We made reservations over the phone and found the customer service to be exemplary (I called at the last minute to both cancel and then later to re-instate my reservation when we had car trouble on the way). When we arrived the check-in process was straight forward and easy. The roads are gravel but well-graded and the majority of the sites are pull-thru. We had no trouble getting into ours, however, we found rather quickly that sites are extremely close together. Our back-side neighbors had to move their picnic table back in order to accommodate our driver-side slide (the distance between our extended slide and their trailer is about 8 feet. But... we all made it work. There is a 10 pm lights-out policy to cut down on light pollution and see the stars. And the people who camped next to us were considerate. 

    The campground has lots of amenities. A log cabin (rec center) with pool, video games, TV with DVD library, books, and board games. Laundry with decent pricing. Mini-golf ($3 per person). A nice pool and hot tub. A dog park with agility obstacles. Nice playground. Wifi signal is strong with decent bandwidth (they discourage streaming). Next door is a horseriding stables ($40 an hour, $25 for a half hour); the horses come up to the fence and love to be petted. The store in the office is small but has the basic amenities. Groceries can be purchased in Cortez, a 15-minute drive away. And, of course, Mesa Verde National Park is right across the road, less than 5 minutes to the visitor center.  The only downside (besides the tightness of the spaces) is that dumpster was very full and near to overflowing. 

    Overall we enjoyed our stay here, and thought the location to the park and local area was perfect. Would recommend and definitely stay here again.

    The Views RV Park & Campground

    Best We've Stayed

    This park is very well-kept and the views are amazing. Most sites are huge (center sites alittle close together) and they offer full hookup, pull thru, and back-in sites. There are trees for shade. Owners are onsite and extremely friendly and professional. There are modern, private restrooms with shower, toilet, and sink as well as a larger restroom with multiple stalls and private showers. There is a beautiful covered pavillion with great views, gas grills, gas fire pit, and picnic table that is available for anyone to use. They have glamping tents, laundry, and propane onsite. Tons to do nearby including the reservoir, Mesa Verde, and much more. Delores (10 min) is a smaller town with nice dining and shops. Cortez (15 min) has all modern amenities including Walmart, chain stores, and grocery. Park is very quiet and friendly. Nearby gas and diesel available. Beautiful and top notch...they even rake the gravel sites between guests! Highly recommend! Our favorite campground to date!

    Priest Gulch Campground and RV Park Cabins and Lodge

    Perfection at Priest Gulch

    Priest Gulch Campground is a privately owned campground/RV park. They have 98 RV sites with full hookups along with tent spaces and 8 cabins available for rent. They also offer free firewood, shower facilities, and laundry along with a camp store. The property is immaculately maintained and all the hosts are kind, warm, and helpful. The RV spaces are quite close together, but there are no generators and the camp strictly enforced quiet hours. We found it to be extremely calm and relaxing with our spot right on the Animas River.

    Ouray Riverside Resort

    Beautiful Ouray

    Nestled in a valley with beautiful view next to Uncompahgre River with wonderful walking path. Gravel parking right off hwy 550. Laundry, showers, restaurant. Primitive cabins and fully equipped cabins. Very friendly staff. Pet friendly. Close to uptown shopping and eating & grocery store. Pull thru and back in sites. Overflow parking for extra vehicles for a charge. Down side-you have to trailer to trailheads for SXS riding. Most tail heads are small parking areas but the riding in the mountains is priceless. Been here twice, same site and would go again.

    Morefield Campground — Mesa Verde National Park

    Nice campground - High price

    Morefield Campground is the only campground in Mesa Verde National Park, but be forewarned, you might just experience a little sticker shot at the price. Cost for a tent site with NO hookups was almost$35 after taxes. The campground does has flush toilets and wifi through out the campground. Next to the camp store are showers and a coin laundry. Each campsite has a picnic table, tent pad and metal fire ring. The campsites really vary in appearance, some are out in the open right next to each other, other are in the trees and bushes which gives you a little more privacy, but most are still right next to another very close site. Some other these are perfectly level areas, others will have you going up of down stairs. The sites with stairs seemed to be slightly more secluded. While it was nice to have restrooms with running water, their was no way to dry your hands, so bring a towel with you as they have no paper towels or air driers for you hands. Water could be found at the restrooms. For you trash you had to find the one dumpster in the middle of the camping loop, but be warned, it could be difficult for some to open. I was a bit disappointed that the campground wasn't kept in better shape, especially for the price they were charging. Several campsites were closed due to needing repair, and the trail from the camp loop to the store was falling apart, it is need of new pavement or just remove it and go to a dirt path. They have Wifi, and said it was better the closer to the restrooms you were, but if a few people are using it, it really slows down. The Wifi was nice as you have no cell service in the campground. All in all this is a nice campground except for the price.


Guide to Cascade

Cabin accommodations near Cascade, Colorado extend beyond basic sleeping quarters, with varied options for seasonal use. Mountain cabin rentals in this region commonly require strategic planning due to their popularity during peak periods. Most cabins in the Colorado San Juan Mountains sit above 7,000 feet elevation, creating unique challenges and opportunities for visitors.

What to do

Fishing access: Cabins at Priest Gulch Campground and RV Park provide convenient access to the Dolores River. "We stumbled upon a 5 lb. cutthroat last week, browns, rainbows, fishing is good," notes one visitor, highlighting the productive fishing spots directly accessible from the cabin area.

Mountain biking: Several trails connect directly from Little Molas Lake Campground, making cabin stays convenient for cyclists. "The Colorado Trail passes right through the campground. There are great trails heading out of the campground in both directions," explains a reviewer who used their cabin as a home base for trail riding.

Historical exploration: Mesa Verde National Park cabin accommodations allow for early morning access to archaeological sites. "Staying here makes for an easy morning before some ranger led tours. The park is big. If you have the option to stay here, stay here," advises a camper who maximized their time by staying within the park boundaries.

What campers like

Riverside locations: Water proximity ranks highly among cabin visitors at Junction West Durango Riverside Resort. "Nice campground right on the Animas River. Facilities are clean, huge laundry room, pool and a small restaurant on sight," notes a guest who appreciated the waterfront setting combined with amenities.

Complimentary extras: Some cabin providers include unexpected perks. "Tent sites were $20 a night for 2 people. Small store for any basics you may have forgotten/ran out of. Soft serve ice cream available," explains a visitor who discovered additional amenities beyond standard cabin features.

Firewood provisions: Unlike many areas that charge for firewood, some cabins include it with rental. "They offer free firewood, shower facilities, and laundry along with a camp store. The property is immaculately maintained," mentions a visitor to Priest Gulch Campground, noting this cost-saving benefit.

What you should know

Weather considerations: Mountain cabin rentals face unique challenges during shoulder seasons. "We left a night early bc we're not prepared for below freezing," reports a visitor who encountered unexpected cold at Morefield Campground. Many cabins require disconnecting water lines overnight when temperatures drop below freezing.

Road noise factors: Highway proximity affects some cabin locations. "As soon as it got dark, the semis started trucking through, and that's all that was heard throughout the night," cautions a Little Molas Lake visitor, noting the proximity to mountain highways impacts sleep quality.

Seasonal closures: Many cabin facilities operate on limited schedules. "Closes Tomorrow September 29 for the season," notes a late-season visitor to Silverton Lakes RV Resort, highlighting the importance of checking operational dates when planning cabin stays outside summer months.

Tips for camping with families

Pool access: Families consistently rate swimming facilities highly when evaluating cabin stays. "The pool was welcome relief for the kids and we enjoyed talking to fellow campers visiting from around the country," mentions a visitor to HTR Durango Campground, emphasizing this amenity's importance for children.

Cabin sizing: Understanding sleeping capacity prevents overcrowding. "We also stayed in a cabin to give kids more trailer room. There was a queen bed and a bunk (so 4 could sleep easy)," explains a family that supplemented their RV with a cabin to create additional space for comfort.

Playground availability: For families with younger children, on-site activities matter. "We have a beautiful location with river front sites, a pool, amazing pizza, ice cream, clean facilities," notes a visitor at a Durango cabin site, listing the family-friendly amenities that enhanced their stay.

Tips from RVers

Electrical considerations: RVers using cabins as supplementary accommodations should verify power compatibility. "Thank God we had the surge protector and that I tested the outlet before plugging into the RV. The monitor indicated reverse polarity so we ended up having to move to another site," cautions a visitor at Blue Spruce RV Park & Cabins.

Elevation adaptations: High-altitude cabins create operational challenges for generators and equipment. "Elevation is about 10,300 and posed a problem for our generator that caused severe spark-plug fouling. But, re-jetting the carburetor from a #61 to #58 solved the problem," shares an RVer who encountered and resolved altitude-related mechanical issues.

Winter preparation: Seasonal cabin users need specialized equipment. "Owners required disconnecting water at night to prevent their water pipes from freezing and bursting," notes a September visitor, explaining how even early fall stays require winter protocols at higher elevations.
