Best Glamping near Durango, CO

Several glamping sites around Durango cater to campers who want outdoor experiences without roughing it. Durango City Park Campground has yurts with climate control and comfortable beds that feel more like hotel rooms than tents. Over at Durango Area State Park, you'll find safari tents with electricity and real furniture instead of sleeping bags and camp chairs. The Colorado National Forest Sites take things up another notch with food service and staff who can help arrange activities. These places focus on comfort rather than the minimalist approach of traditional camping. The Durango Recreation Area includes private bathrooms and deck spaces where you can sit and relax. From many glamping sites, you can see the Rocky Mountains and reach hiking trails without a long drive. The Colorado River runs nearby, giving you places to fish or try water activities during your stay. You can also take a day trip to Great Sand Dunes to see its unusual landscape. Each glamping location is set up to give you some space from neighbors, with trees and layout designed for privacy. Durango County Park Campground has particularly large glamping sites that work well if you're bringing family or friends. Weather in the area stays mild enough for glamping most of the year - summer is great for outdoor activities, while winter glamping works because the structures have heating. Most sites sit close enough to downtown Durango that you can easily get to restaurants and shops. Make sure you reserve well ahead of time since these glamping spots fill up quickly.

    Oasis RV Resort - Check Satellite View

    Very nice RV / Cabin / Tent resort in Durango, CO. Full service, laundry facilities, pickleball court, grills in the public area, pool during summer months. We chose a mountain view site, which does have lovely views, but the reason for the review title is it is directly above the freeway and we needed earplugs for the traffic noise. Amending to note it is a very well-maintained RV=tent/cabin park, clean restrooms, clearly marked laundry, friendly staff.

    Will stay here again!

    We had to overnight in Durango area for one night, on our way from Colorado to Arizona. The campground is clean, quiet, gorgeous, it is close to the highway though, we had a gorgeous spot with a view (so worth it). It has a pool, laundry, even a breakfast spot that is open on certain hours, times of the day. We did not get to experience it. You’re only 7 miles away (east) from Durango, which is a very amazing, cute small (walkable) city!

    We’ll Be Back

    We stayed in the “primitive” glamping tent, and were completely thrilled. The bed was comfy, the tent kept us dry during storms, and we had room to entertain our friends. We cooked out in the pavilion twice, used the laundry room and showers, and all were great. Best of all, Matt & team were so kind and accommodating. We wouldn’t have left if we didn’t have to, and we can’t wait to visit 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!

    All the way amazing.

    So quiet and the views are spectacular. The owner was friendly, helpful and so welcoming. The entire park is beautiful. They have wonderful community areas, bathroom, laundry and fire pit. The walking trail offers a great peek over the surrounding hill. I could honestly stay forever! They offer free WiFi and firewood at the communal site. Clean bathrooms and laundry room.

    Cortez, Mesa Verde KOA

    Plenty of Amenities

    I'm going to start off with this isn't our kind of camping but if you love amenities when you camp, this is the place to be. We arrived early in the morning (wasn't even sure we would be able to check in) but they they said we could get checked in and told us where the other members of our party were at in the park. The office staff was extremely friendly and eager to tell us all about the park. They even had Easter candy and eggs in the office and outside the door for the kiddos. They directed us to our site which was located just behind the teepees. The site was small but it had electricity and a water spicket right behind it. The site was all gravel, even the tent pad but there was a lovely patch of grass behind us that we were directed to put nothing on.

    Some of the amenities: There were heated bathrooms with flush toilets, running water sinks and showers. Music played in the bathroom 24/7. There were laundry facilities as well and on the side of the building a dish washing station. You could wash your dishes in a sink with hot water! There's a pool (it wasn't open yet) and for a short little walk, a 3 acre dog park. It was so nice for our dogs to get out and run. Beyond that was a trail that went around a lake and on the other side was a playground, much nicer then the campgrounds which seems a bit outdated. The park wasn't very clean though. There were also several geocaches with in walking distance of the campground.

    Shortly after we arrived and checked out the dog park, we began prepping and smoking our spiral ham. It was Easter weekend after all, what better then Easter dinner. Shortly after we put some beans in a dutch oven and smoked those as well. Everyone sat and ate a nice Easter dinner (we all came together from three sites). Shortly after we had our first of three egg hunts in the overflow area of the campground. There weren't any campers down there so the kids had plenty of space to hunt and run. The campground in general wasn't very full, it is still early. We followed up our first egg hunt with birthday celebrations for our youngest who turned 5! Cake and gifts and family. We waited for dark and then had our second Easter egg hunt with glow stick eggs! Shortly after everyone retired and it got cold at night. It had to have been in the 30's. There was a lot of light in the campground. Everytime I peered out of my sleeping bag it felt like morning even though it was the middle of the night. That was not all that appealing to me. You could also hear the highway. The campground itself was quiet but the highway could be heard.

    The next morning the kids woke up to their third egg hunt and their baskets from the Easter bunny and then another trip to the dog park. We opted to not eat breakfast here and hit up starbucks on the way home.

    Overall, it's a nice park with plenty of amenities. If you don't want to be quite so rugged, this might be a great option.

    Vallecito Resort

    Beautiful location, poor cell service

    Vallecito Resort in beautiful Bayfield CO. We stayed here 3 days. This park is quite beautiful and well maintained. Staff is super friendly and helpful. There are a lot of seasonal residents here but all seem very friendly. We even joined them for a Christmas in July evening of decorating a tree, desserts and listen to Christmas music. Had a nice size spot #56. Very quite at night. Great location for day trips as we visited three near buy lakes, and Mesa Verda National park (used your America The Beautiful pass for free entrance). I would love to stay here longer and visit more locations but was only able to get three days. Cell service sucks with Verizon up here and WiFi available near office area only.

    Oasis RV Resort and Cottages

    Nice site layout; Enjoyable stay! - THIS IS NOT KOA! NOW CALLED OASIS RV

    CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly staff; shuffled our stay around so we could extend and not relocate during the week. 

    WIFI/ CELL SERVICE: Camp wifi and speed seemed to work really well! I could use email and stream videos with no delay; however we used a hot spot for work calls to be more clear, but their wifi probably could have been fine to do so. 2 of 4 bars AT&T but calls came in fine throughout the entire park. 

    SITE: Pretty campground layout. Love the"S" curved pull thru sites. We had an"S" shaped site with nice privacy and ease of arriving and leaving because of design. The sites all seemed to be nicely spaced from one another and private even though you are nearby. There were some views and there were a few pretty fall trees and a vacant pasture to look at while sitting at the picnic table. A small creek flows along the edge of site 23. Full hookup; level site; heated water so didn't have to worry about pipes freezing during stay; fire pit; grill; full sun site; rock roads but well maintained and not too dusty; light road noise. I'm sure the sites closer to the highway are louder near the campground entrance; no bugs in October that we experienced. 

    OTHER: Nearby Walmart and shopping center. About 20 min drive from Historic Downtown; about 5 minutes from Anytime Fitness gym. Laundry room was small and they didn't clean our clothes very well, but it was kept clean.
