Best Tent Camping near Mancos, CO

Easily one of my favorite sites I have stayed at in Colorado! It is an incredible set up for tent camping. The pads are well manicured with very fine rock and very level. The bathrooms and laundry facility are A+, they are located right next to the tent sites. You will be hard pressed to find a more peaceful campground, I can’t wait to be back!

We did tent camping and 2 tents fit in our spot (an 8 person and a 4 person tent). The tent sites have a table with benches. no fires are allowed so bring a gas stove if you plan on cooking. Its really close to the Durango old Town area (like 10 min drive or less) and about 45 minutes to mesa verde. The camp sites are right next to the Aminas river but there's no access to it from the campground unfortunately.

Tent camped here at campsite 8 for five nights. Very nice tents sites but after traveling the country I felt it sucked because showers were $5 for a four minute shower and the toilets were basically glorified holes in the ground. Beautiful sights everywhere. Not far from Silverton and the OHV routes.

RV spot that has tent sites. They gave us an RV site because the tent sites were full. Maybe a little pricey but we were running out of daylight - the staff were really nice and the park is quiet even though it's near a main road. Bathrooms were nice!

Excellent Boondocking area. Close to Silverton on Mineral Creek. Plenty of free tent camping along the road too

Nice tent sites at the back of the park ,clean shower and bathrooms, 1/2 mile outside the entrance to mesa verda national park

This is an RV Park with many RV Spaces, tent sites, and some cabins for rent. The RV sites are easy to get into, relatively level, and have tables and grill/fire pits. There is gravel on the spaces- although they could add more gravel. Nice dog park divided into two areas so your dogs don’t have to co-mingle. There is a clean, reasonably priced laundry room and a swimming pool. The spaces are nice and wide and many have large trees for nice shade, but some don’t and have full sun. There are multiple tent sites, with tables and grills as well; along with a site for large tenting groups.

Stayed at site 70. Very nice, large campground. Tent sites were very convenient to the camp store and nearby facilities. Placement of campground very convenient to Cortez and Mesa Verde national park - only about 10 minutes away.

Driving in I got nervous. No service and the front office was closed so I wasn't sure how to check into my site. Everyone here was so friendly and helped me find the camp owner. The camp team is overly nice. They opened the store up for us super late. We are the only tent campers and the camp host Scott had an entire tent camping package for us to use while here. It had everything you could need tent camping and he gave us eggs, wood and bread they made here. He hooked up power so we could charge everything. There is get set up all over for kids. Each site has its own grill. The laudry room is free and amazing. Showers were nice. Wifi signal is so strong. Love this camp and highly recommend. Little noise from the road at night but worth it in my opinion. Nice shower rooms. Each site has been fitted with cool items. Some have porch heaters, pourch swings, tables. They went all out for thier guests.

I stayed here for one night and was pleasantly surprised. It’s surrounded by tall Lodgepole pines that offer awesome shade and privacy from neighbors. Bathrooms were clean. Camp hosts were friendly. It sounds like there is a lot of bear activity so tent camping could be a concern. There were mostly RVs.

A site with amazing views that were all blocked by large RVs and campers, no privacy for tent camping or between sites, it was also very crowded by early morning. 4WD and high clearance is needed to continue on Last Dollar Rd if you’re hoping to find more dispersed camping up the mountain.

Host was very helpful and super nice. We stayed at lot#8. We had a huge 10 person tent and there was still more room for about 2 more tents. There is a fit pit and picnic table to use along with a water pump right across the road from our tent site. Only thing was the bathroom was a walk down the road

I got there around 4:30 pm on a Friday and was able to grab a good spot. A lot of RVs near the creek already, which were much closer than 100 ft distance. I car camped, but a lot of tent camping spots if you’re willing to walk from your car a bit. Great spots, kind people, free, bathrooms too.

I have stayed at this campground several times while in Silverton Colorado. This campground is located on the edge of Silverton, about 1 mile from the downtown business district. The campground is fairly quiet and has all the amenities you need. The main office also has a small store with grocery items, camping supplies, and the laundry area. The staff has always been friendly to us, and are knowledgeable about the local area and businesses. This campground features tent sites, RV sites, and Cabins. This campground house clean bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers located in 2 areas around the campground. This campground do you have quick access to the ATV/Jeep Trails, Hiking trails, Historic sites, and businesses in the area. Animas Creek flows through the edge of the campground, near the tent sites. The campground also has an overflow parking area for people pull in large trailers. We have also used the overflow camping area with no hook ups, when the campground is full. The beautiful mountain scenery surrounding the campground is also awesome! I have always enjoyed my stays At the Silverton Lakes Campground six weeks, and will continue to stay there when I am in the area.

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.
