  Ruins Road RV Park

  Quiet

  We are traveling with a young, very timid dog so asked for a large space. She gave us an end space with no shade and no grass; however, we have a nice view of the trees along the Animas River and are a short distance from the river. Lots of long term RVs, but their spaces are well maintained. Good gravel throughout the RV Park, nice level spaces. They take cash or check only. No tables, fire rings, restrooms/showers, but full hookups. Easy access, and we had no issues with road noise.

  Ancient Cedars Mesa Verde RV Park

  Next to Mesa Verde National Park

  Ancient Cedars RV park is a great place to stay when visiting Mesa Verde National Park. It's located directly across from the visitor center on the other side of the freeway. The RV park has a combination of full hook-ups to campsites. 

  The park has a playground with a miniature golf course. There's a recreation room with a pool table, TV, and games. It's a great place for the kids to hang out in. 

  The cell service is good

  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.

  Westerly RV Park

  Great people great spot

  This is both my first review, but also my first ever RV trip. This is a simple campground, no bathrooms or showers, but they do have full laundry facilities. Westerly is a small 24 spot full hook up RV park on the north end of Durango Colorado. Why did I give it 5 stars? The hosts are wonderful people who are friendly, welcoming and helpful. They maintain the property and it’s impeccable. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit, there is a dog run and across the street is the newly remodeled Durango Hot Springs. Worth a night or a full week visit.

  La Mesa RV Park

  Does The Job

  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.

  Mesa Verde RV Resort

  Best place to stay outside Mesa Verde

  Would stat inside the national park if available- this was a great RV resort with a playground, pool, pond, dog walk area.

  Stoner RV Resort

  Lil Slice Of Heaven

  Wow!!! There is so much to say about this place. The best rv park I have ever been to.  Scott the ower was magnificent. From the welcome basket that had eggs coffee and banana nut bread, to the clean restrooms and showers. WOW. I can't stress this enough. That this place is great. They have 2 little dog parks. A basketball court. Lots of toys for the kids and adults to play with. The onsite Laundry was amazing, and free to use. We will definitely make this a must stay in the future.

  Mesa Verde RV Resort

  Quiet, no frills RV resort

  This RV resort is fine. The spots are wildly close together and small, but the bathroom/shower and laundry is very nice. We are here in late October and it is very quiet. Try to ask for a spot on the outer edge, much nicer.

  Mesa Verde RV Resort

  Great place for Mesa Verde

  We spend two nights in the RV resort. It is only 0.5 miles away from the national park entrance and the perfect place to stay if you want to visit Mesa Verde. Very nice hosts, clean toilets and showers, whirlpool, BBQ area, a little shop and much more. Definitely a good place to stay!!!

  Oasis RV Resort and Cottages

  Information is outdated, this campground is no longer operated by KOA!!!

  It's OASIS RV Resort & Cottages now, as you can see on Google Maps: https://www.myrvoasis.com

  We've just stayed there and wouldn't go back. The location is very close to Durango but right off the highway so it's noisy. It was a noisy experience in general with large families partying every night (apparently they got warned by the hosts but that only helped one night), and loud music blasting in the washrooms 24/7. Some of the tent sites are mixed use, they come with electricity but the don't have a nice level gravel pad for the tent. Hosts seemed nice, facilities were very clean. Paper towels in the washrooms would be nice, or even better a hand free kickstand to open the door in times of Corona!

  Morefield Campground — Mesa Verde National Park

  Great stay in Mesa Verde

  Stayed in a nice, small space with full hook-up with a 30ft RV. Despite close quarters, the spaces were cosy and private with fire pits and great peeks to the mountains. A lot of amenities (shop, laundry, gas station) and despite high season, the campground was not full at all.

  Echo Basin Cabin and RV Resort

  Louder than Disneyland

  Went there for the great reviews and outstanding local nature attractions. Sadly, this RV resort was in the middle of some sort of family reunion across from our site: At least 40 or more folks hooting and hollering and playing loud music that could be heard across the valley, going on for hours without any type of drop-in from the resort management. Despite a previous reservation, I was stuck in a site with no shade from the sun or the reunion’s party. It didn’t help that the site’s pump water was mostly dirt and plugged my filter…

  Dolores River RV Resort by Rjourney

  Beautiful Campground

  This is a really pretty place with level sites. Full hookups. One end of the Campground has cabins, yurts, Prarie Schooner wagons, and triframe cabins. All along the gorgeous Dolores River. This would be the perfect spot to meet with friends or family who don't have an RV. We were at site 13 with our 30' Grand Design bumper pull trailer. Plenty of room. Our site backs up to a fishing pond (catch and release). Big, clean restrooms and showers. The town of Dolores is a 5 minute drive... plenty of restaurants and a brewery. Definitely coming back.

  Along the River RV Camping

  Spectacular RV riverfront camping on a private ranch

  OK, calling this an RV Park would do it a big disservice. Rather, this is the land of an elderly ranching couple, Gordon and Jeanna, who have opened up to RV camping on 5 spots carved out of one of their fields along the bubbling Dolores River. 

  This is dry camping, no hookups are available. Self-contained RVs only, no tents. Sites include picnic tables and wood-fired stoves/firepits. It's $25/night and includes free firewood and trash pickup, and shared use of a large deck overhanging the river. Water is available at the couple's home across the road, and they welcome you to dump your grey water (not black, of course!) on their farm field. 

  There's no website, and the couple has no email address. You may call to reserve a spot. Sites 2 through 5 are right along the riverbank, whereas site 1 is just a few feet away. Rafters and kayakers paddle right past the campsites every hour or two. You may fish the river without a license as it's on private property, and we know of at least one brown trout coming out of that river this week.

  Cell service varies. We have both Verizon and AT&T. Verizon has proven to be useful only for voice calls and texts, as their data has been erratic even with a booster. AT&T has been sufficient for working on VPN and streaming video, with our booster and a Yagi antenna pointing due west.

  Homestead RV Park

  Good overnight spot

  Full hook ups, pull through spots. Didn’t use the facilities, but they looked modern and clean. Basically a gravel parking lot. My only complaint is no grass, but they do have a fenced in area for dogs to play off leash and actually keep waste bags in stock. Overall a good place to overnight. Thank you!

  Priest Gulch Campground and RV Park Cabins and Lodge

  Beautiful place

  This is a great campground. Full hookups available for $46 a night. Rv spots are kinda close together but we enjoyed having some younger families around. There is wifi but its hit or miss, laundry, restrooms, and satellite dishes at select spaces. The grounds are well maintained and the staff is very friendly. There is a short trail on site (Toehole Trail) that's super easy for kids and only goes about a quarter mile.

  Coyote Outfitters

  A gem!

  Coyote Outfitters is located between Mancos and Hesparus, and about a 35 minute drive to/from Durango. Owned and operated by Amy and Donnie Moffat, they offer 3 RV sites at their little campground, located up the road from their cabins location on County Rd 116. The sites are back in, level and have full hook ups, plus a beautiful mountain view in one direction and open fields as far as one can see in the other direction. The peace and quiet here is truly awesome, as are the night skies. 

  A short walk down the quiet country road and there is a first class bathhouse that looks more like a rustic spa! No detail has been forgotten. 

  Amy and Donnie are wonderful hosts and it's clear they take pride in their business. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

  United Campground of Durango

  Great tent spots on grass

  We motorcycle camp and use tents every night. We've been to this campground several times because it is so perfect for us. They are open late until 8pm. Besides full hook up sites, they have a large grass area that is lush and flat. It's perfect to pitch a tent or of dust, mud or rocks. Their bathrooms and showers are clean and welcome after a long day of riding. We had the train come through just feet from where we camped.

  Alpen Rose RV Park

  Amenities Not Available to All Campers

  These are full hook-up sites. Amenities include playground, pool, laundry, bathrooms, and shower. We were notified before hand that we could not hook up to water due to freezing temperatures. (It is November.) When we arrived we discovered the bathrooms/showers were only open 8am-8pm. An inconvenience for us, but tolerable for the last two nights of our journey. However, the men’s room was often locked even during the “open” hours, which was especially frustrating for my husband and son. We later discovered many other campers had the code to the bathrooms which they could use any time of day or night. Ultimately, this issue was more than inconvenient, it was insulting that some campers were not allowed to use the bathrooms. We will not stay here again.

  Mesa Verde RV Resort

  Location, location, location

  Located less than 1 mile from Mesa Verde National Park entrance, this campground has wonderful owners who understand the meaning of hospitality! The sites are maintained daily and there are nice little touches throughout the campground, like potted plants at the pedestal of each site and site lights that can be turned off if one wishes (protect the dark sky). 

  There's a playground, pool and adults only spa, the office store has the little things one might have forgotten, there's a separate tent area, a well outfitted laundry room and clean showers. They also conveniently offer propane for sale. 

  The gravel site I was in was fairly level and had full hook ups. Free wi fi available. Not much privacy between spaces, but not sandwiched in like some "resorts". A little road noise and if the wind blew from a certain direction the leach field/pond scent would waft by, but overall a nice place to stay.

  Cortez RV Resort by Rjourney

  Secluded rv park

  Lovely little rv park just outside of town. Clean bathrooms, pool, little trail to walk to stretch your legs and well priced. 24 hr laundromat and not overcrowded. With as many empty spaces as they had, you’d think they wouldn’t have needed to put some rvs so close together.

  Alpen Rose RV Park

  VERY CLEAN PARK

  I stayed here because It was closest to downtown Durango and I was bushed and ready for sleep. After staying 14 days in the backwoods, it was nice to get shower in an actual building.... but I must admit, after paying nothing to park and stay in the woods for 14 days, it hurt my feelings to pay $75 for one night here.

  On the down side, it is an Upscale RV park that if your not in a prevost bus, you are out of place. The whole time I was putting up, I was getting funny looks for my popup a frame trailer. Either way, they were nice people in the office/restaurant and have a nice rv park. Little too much $$ for my pocket book.

  Mesa Verde RV Resort

  Sweet, Well Maintained, Campground!

  This is a beautiful, maintained campground right outside of Mesa Verde National Park. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The gentleman even escorted us to our site. The sites are nicely spaced out on gravel, and are clean and well kept. Many places to sit and relax such as an outdoor patio, two hot tubs, a pool, ponds, etc. We had full hook up which was exactly what we wanted. The campground did fill up by evening. There is a bit of a sewer smell when the wind blows due to their sewer treatment site being in close proximity to the campground, however, it was manageable and didn’t notice the smell much. The wifi became slower as more people were on it in the evening. There is not much cell service for AT&T. This is a sweet little campground definitely worth checking out.

  Alpen Rose RV Park

  One of our favorites in CO!

  This RV park was amazing! We usually stay in State parks and national campgrounds but this private RV park is the best of both worlds. Friendly staff, ample Laundry facilities, spacious sites (premium and above), 2 acres dog park, restaurant onsite and just a wonderful basecamp for Durango and Silverton. We had technical issues and they were very accommodating plus they have an RV tech on-site. Highly recommend .

  La Mesa RV Park

  Quiet Hideaway

  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.

  Sleeping Ute RV Park

  Majority of spaces too close together

  The person checking us in was very kind and helpful. We requested an end space because our young pup has a fear of vehicles. She gave us a space with a huge grassy area and nice shade tree! The bad points of this RV Park are: 1) The pool is closed and there’s no mention of that anywhere! 2) when walking around, I notice the majority of the spaces are so close together, your picnic table is right next to your neighbor’s sewer hookup. YUCK! I would come here again, but I would continue to be picky about my site!
