GuideIt was hard to tell what areas were designated spots, but overall lots of options! Definitely recommend 4WD, but we had 2WD and managed to find a good spot. Very secluded and far from other campers which we loved.
ScoutThis 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.
GuideThis does not exist. I couldn't find the road - drove by several times 🤷♀️ Thankful there was a rest area a mile before this said camping spot.
TravelerSeveral Forest Service roads to choose from with camp areas with good distance between them. Some spots require 4 wheel drive or similar to access. Fire rings at designated sites with no other services.
TravelerWe pulled in on our way to 4 corners and we didn’t have any issues nor did we feel unsafe at any point. We saw a sheriff in a Jeep patrolling the area, no trash, and our dogs were happy to run off leash.
TravelerThis campground is the last stop where you can access to with a camper. Sleep here and you will already be inside mesa verde national park. It is green all around, there are ranger talks in the evening, and wild animals coming by your camping spot. A lot of shade and very practical restrooms everywhere on the loops
TravelerGood road quality, hard packed gravel, river right next to the sites, 14 day camp limit
GuideThe acoustical sound of a river while camping in the mountains surrounded by tall pine trees is just the right prescription for what was needed. And, to find it right off the highway, so convenient.
ScoutVery clean and nice! Bathhouse is great. Right off 550 on the river. Quick bike ride to the river trail into town.
