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.

DEFINITELY recommend this resort! It's the perfect place to pull your RV, especially if teetering it along the edge of a really gnarly cliff isn't your cup of tea. There's a pool, and hot tub, mini golf, a little store, and PONIES next door! Definitely recommend trail rides.
TravelerThis 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.
ScoutCabin was so cute. Had everything we needed. Cold AC and a small fridge inside the cabin. They had one cabin that allowed doggies. Bathroom and showers were clean. Small store if you need small items.

This campground is full service- tent and rv sites, motel, cabins, restaurant, store, and sand board rentals all with views of Great Sand Dunes National Park. If you are in a tent or small rig, head towards the top and back rows for great views with hammock trees. Or, stay low and just have great views. This is the only place close to rent sand sleds, and it is just outside the park. The campground restrooms are in a retrofitted cargo container, which is pretty cool even if it only has running cold water. The super clean shower house is closer to the motel. Not too far away are some great hikes including Zapata Falls.
Guide
We had a cabin and RV site. After a long hot day at Mesa Verde we were pleasantly surprised to have AC and a TV in the cabin. Bathrooms were clean and campground was quiet.
Guide
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.
Ranger
Pretty setting on the Dolores River. Sites are fairly close together even by Colorado standards but they are level. There is a couple of fishing ponds, river access, Yurts, cabins, and a few Covered wagons to rent.
Water pressure or lack of is the worst. The worst we have experienced in over 100 campgrounds.
Traveler
We stayed here 2013-2021 every year. Not sure about the complaint of being tight in another review as this was not our experience. We have stayed in various sites over the years in a super C (semi truck) that has very little turning radius and was able to navigate into the spots easily. We were able to put out our slides with a wooden picnic table available between the sites with a good 4-5 ft on each side of the table. We are 41 feet in length and pull a 30ft trailer. Our height is 13.6ft. The owners were gracious to let us unhook and park our trailer nearby. They have showers and toilets as well as cabins and hotel rooms. They do offer jeep rentals but as of 2022 the town does not allow ohv’s in town. They have 50amp, water, trash, and sewer. The train is an awesome bonus as it drives by everyday in the peak season. We chose in 2022 to stay elsewhere do to the towns views on ohv’s.
ScoutI stayed in a cabin here with a million dollar view. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Zero complaints.
GuideThis 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.
Ranger
Nice campground right on the Animas River. Facilities are clean, huge laundry room, pool and a small restaurant on sight. Cabins, big rig, tents etc
TravelerMy husband and I stayed here and it was clean and the cabin was nice. The showers were hot and clean and we will definitely be back.
TravelerNice staff, clean restrooms and laundry. Two teepees that you can stay in with cots and floor mat. Cabins galore with a/c and antenna. Will return
ScoutA nice campground with both tent and RV plots. They have showers, flush toilets and laundry facilities. There is also a cabin with books and games. It is very close to the park. The layout is nice and it is very family friendly, but also good for people without kids.
Traveler
New owners have really polished the place up. They also have "cabin" rooms in a refurbished vintage motel on site. It was a nice change to park the camper snd indulge in a room with queen beds and an unlimited hot showet after 11 days camping. Reasonable rates and free continental breakfast.
GuideClean, but it's on the industrial edge of Cortez. Thankfully it had a nice view of the Mesa Verde mountain range from many sites. We happened to be in a site directly behind one of the cute cabins that have a premium view. Gravel drive and pads. Utilities back to back. Laundry and restroom were clean.
GuideThe bathrooms are very nice and have two shower houses located on the campground. The breakfast is awesome and it's fun to relax in the pool they have on site. The cabins are very nice as well as the tent sites. All of the staff are great and very helpful when asking about what to do in Durango. We did the drive to Silverton that is absolutely beautiful and checked out Mesa Verde.
LegendStayed at site 78. Probably the only campground that we stayed at during 2 week trip to CO / west that we did NOT like. Not a flat thing in the entire campground, and no privacy! Very nice owners, but didn’t make up for the shortcomings. Probably a much nicer place to stay if you’re using one of their many cabins, and that’s clearly what this campground is oriented for. 2 stars, however, for tent camping experience.
GuideStayed in a "cabin," in the summer, basically a bunk house with two bunk beds and a little foyer. Still, a nice break from the tent for the kids and I. On the highway but not much noise, and a very nice pool. Sites are small, but the amenities make up for it.
Best part about it was convenience. Easy to downtown Durango, Mesa Verde and easy to find driving back late from a day exploring.

I really enjoyed my stay here. I stayed four days three nights, a lot of the trails were closed the times I was there, (COVID-restrictions) but I did walk the Petroglyph trail, (Bring plenty of water with electrolytes you gonna need it!!!) they have cabins tent campsites, RV campsites, just a great park to stay in and the staff and the Rangers were awesome! $9 pancake breakfast, I will definitely be coming back next year!!
TravelerThis was a very nice campground but the campsites are extremely close to each-other..... that was a big downfall! The campground itself though is very clean and nice! There's little cabins everywhere, which we might try to stay in if we visit again. We have a rooftop tent and the ground in our small spot was very uneven. I didn't come across a way to enter the river below but there is a scenic view in the campground. Bathrooms were very clean!
Traveler
It had been a while since I put up a tent, but EB had a few level areas specific to tenting, although the provided bath house was not centrally located. There were 2 toilet stalls and 2 shower stalls - relative to the majority of campers and cabin-users. There is a pool! EB provides a great eating area and bar to replenish your “spirits”. A great place to camp for reunions or gatherings. Removed from town, but close enough to spend the day exploring the region. Plenty of trees to hang a hammock, too!
Guide
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.
ScoutMy family and I have been to so many different campgrounds over the years and this one was the worst one I've ever seen. When we got there the place was filled with signs that basically said children couldn't do anything or only registered guests can do this. They also advertise putt putt but they had a tree that hung over one of the holes 2 feet off the ground making it almost impossible to play. As we got there a thunder storm was coming in making us uncomfortable setting up a tent. When we asked about switching to a cabin she told us it was a 2 night minimum and didn't even ask if we wanted to pay for 2 nights even though the cabins were completely empty. We ended up asking if we could car camp and she was very hesitant to even let us. When we got to our site it was so uneven and unmaintained that we couldn't even set up a tent if we wanted. There was also barely any gravel and with the rain car camping was a no. Even though we couldn't stay there because of the conditions she refused to give us a refund even a partial refund. As we were leaving with no place to stay she started smirking. We had to sleep at the Loves because everything else was booked. I'm am very disappointed, avoid this place at all cost.

Other reviews were not kidding about it being so peaceful here having plenty of amenities AND a cool vibe. They even have a fun house with ping pong, fooseball and other games. We woke up to a rainbow with a beautiful view of the Ute Mountains in the distance. Hosts are friendly and helpful, and location is just a few mile outside Cortez and has a couple great Mexican restaurants! This campsite even offers Teepees and cabins to stay in, a really unique opportunity for a nice experience.
Guide
Great camp sites for pull thru, back in and tents. Several cabins, bathrooms & showers also available, but closed our week (scary virus). Nice, clean, non-heated pool was a plus. Friendly, helpful campsite hosts. Trash pickup 10:30-11:30AM every day. No bears our week. Campground goes dark by 9:00PM. Very friendly folks our week. Creek contained minimal water, but expect it is nice when it’s “running.” 5 min drive to Durango; lots of hikes, drives & activities in the vicinity. Consider driving (carefully) to Ouray, very beautiful views and overlooks. Will return.
