    Mancos is a great place to camp. Set in a beautiful ponderosa forest, the upper loop of the main campground and both yurts remain open through the winter. The park is centrally located to a wide variety of local attractions​.

    The park has two campgrounds – Main and West – on two sides of the reservoir with a total of 32 campsites. Along the northwest side of the reservoir, the west campground has nine campsites (primarily for tent campers) with toilets but no drinking water nearby.​

    Mancos also offers yurts for a unique and cozy camping experience.

    Yurt reservations are required year round.

    Mancos State Park provides a great overnight stop or a beautiful location for an extended stay. Winter is a fun time to camp at Mancos State Park.

    Come and enjoy a fun-filled, quiet and beautiful time at Mancos State Park!

    Ancient Cedars Mesa Verde RV Park

    Extremely strict cancellation policy

    Made a Rez 5 months ago and didn’t see the fine print cancellation policy stating 14 days out no refund. I had to make new plans due to unforeseen circumstances and called to find out that 13 days out is too bad for me. Not any concessions or credits for future stays, nada zilch. So for a slow time of year they just print money hoping no sees their fine print. I’m a business man and I’ve always seen rules as an opportunity to make someone’s day not motivation to make negative reviews. Maybe I’m old school but there was zero expense on their part and 5 months of cash holding for them. I guess their business is doing so well that they send people the other direction when looking for a place to stay

    This place is amazing

    OUTBACK RV 

    Cortez, CO 

    37.38128210,-108.49380530 

    6,337’ elev 

    Stay 7/24-9/24, Site#3 

    I almost hate to write this review as with only 8 spots I don't want it to get so busy we can't get a reservation! 

    On it's surface the description may not sound like much, gravel parking lot, no‘park type’ amenities etc., but it is truly amazing here. If you're looking for pickle ball courts, pools and crowds, this probably isn't the place for you. If you're looking for the closest thing to boondocking with FHUs and the nicest owners, this is it! 

    So what makes it so special? 

    With only 8 spots in a center row, there is no one in front or behind blocking your view. We had Point Lookout, Lone Cone, and Knife Edge of Mesa Verde NP out our front window, high desert BLM out our rear window, and Sleeping Ute Mtn. out our campside windows. 

    Minimal lighting makes Dark Sky stargazing amazing! 

    We had views everywhere, gorgeous sunsets and wildlife of some sort every morning and evening. The owner, Bill, passes through daily for trash pickup and is a wealth of information on things to do locally. His wife Judy even shared some of the garden harvest with us. All this is before even mentioning everything there is to do within 100yds to 30m of this centralized location. 

    About the Park: 

    Open Seasonally April- September, reservations open in January. 

    NO OTA Channels but a Clear sky for DISH/Starlink and Verizon(3b without a booster). 

    8 LONG level gravel pull through sites that are very well maintained… great for longer 5th wheels, large motorhomes with cargo trailers, double tows, or new RVers not wanting to back in after a long day of travel. 

    Sites are set up Buddy Style, but are well spaced and have a picnic table in a covered pavillion on cement pad between sites. End spots have their own Pavillion. 

    Daily trash pickup. Fire pit, Horseshoe pit, and large covered communal table in a centralized location. 

    FHU had no issues, even water pressure was good. 

    No bathroom/shower ammenities, so only self contained units permitted. 

    It's close enough to 160 to be easily accessible for an overnight, but far enough to not hear it. Road L gets some traffic, but quites down at night. There is a racetrack on 160 that you might hear on Friday& Saturdays during race season, but it wasn't bad. We slept with the windows open most nights with no issues. 

    Roads in are good till the last unpaved bit. The unpaved road is good, just a little bump at the transition. No overhead obstacles for us taller rigs. 

    Discounts available on weekly and monthly stays make it a good deal for spending some time exploring the area. 

    Area Attractions: Phil's World hiking/biking/ATV trails is maybe 100yds from the entrance. Mesa Verde NP is a 10min drive, Canyons of the Ancients visitor center is about 20min, Yucca House about 30min, town of Cortez about 8 min, Delores about 25min, and Durango about 35min(where you can take the Silverton Train). We spent 2 months here and still didn't see everything! 

    The BLM land behind us presented a show of wildlife every morning/evening and plenty of hiking. Deer almost daily. Our neighbor spent his evenings walking the land scouting ruins which are pretty much everywhere around here. 

    Several stores in Cortez… City Market, Safeway, Walmart, Autozone, O’Reillys, well stocked liquor store, several fast foods and some really great resturants. Definitely try The Wigglin Pig and Once Upon A Sandwich. Great RV repair shop in Mancos, about 15m away, Kodiak RV. They offer mobile tech services as well. Free dump at the Maverick if you're boondocking in the area. Cortez Maverick is much easier than the Durango Maverick to maneuver for dumping. 

    Farmer's Market in Cortez on Saturdays in season. 

    Fiesta Twin has$5.00 movies on Tuesdays, new releases. 

    Laundromat by the Subway is the most economical. 

    Large Rec Center in town with day passes.

    This park was an unexpected gem we found when the high heat this summer nixed

     some of our boondocking plans. What was supposed to be a 3nt stay, turned into 2 months. 

    We would definitely stay here again…. Probably next summer😀 

    NOTE: Site#’s are in reverse order from entrance.#8 closest to the entrance,#1 furthest. Even# sites have their nose facing BLM and rear facing Mesa Verde NP. 

    Odd# sites have their nose facing Mesa Verde NP, and their rear facing BLM.

    Don’t let the dilapidated mobile home near the entrance scare you away. This place is super well maintained. Every site is well thought out and has great hookups. I thought a plug water and sewer was pretty uniform. Our site had a pedestal with 20/30/50 amp and then another with 30 20 feet further into the site. Lots of shade. The sites along the south edge of the property have amazing views of the Cortez valley and Sleeping Ute Mountain. Really nice communal fire pit, dog park and some trails too. Some sites have a beautiful brick fire ring too.

    Decent spot that did the trick

    We got to town late and our preferred spots were all taken, so we came here as a backup. The spots are all right off of the road and easy to get to. The views aren’t much, but they’re good spots. There’s a bit of traffic on the road but nothing out of the ordinary.

    Depends on what you value

    I value space, privacy, value and and quality of the area.  This is a old campground purchased by a multi park company.  It is on a twisty, multi curved 2 lane about 7 miles from downtown Durango.  It is in what is/was a beautiful small canyon with numerous aspen and other trees.  It has a creek which flows part of the year.  That said, it is crowded, with your neighbors sewer connection next to your picnic table.  The spaces are short.  If your RV/toad  or travel trailer plus pickup is much over 48 feet, you'll be out in the road.  They WILL put you in too small a space.  My pickup, parked overnight was damaged by someone trying to make the too tight turn at the end of the campground.  The beauty of the place is totally compromised by not just the rv spaces but multiple cabins dotting the hills around and tent sites, etc. etc.  If you value quality of experience , this is not the place for you.

    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.

    Review for tent sites #1 to #3

    The tent space#2 that we stayed in was barely a site. Carved out of the slope, the quite small site was not flat, limiting the way we could sleep. 

    The ground was covered with coarse wood chips– hardly an ideal surface to place a tent on. Both#1 and#3 sites seemed to be in the middle of the drive, making you feel like you were intruding just to leave the site.

    #1 was also small and delineated with the same wood chips on the ground. Glad we didn’t get stuck there. 

    The larger RV/camper sites appeared to be quite nice. The pool was a welcome benefit.

    Scott, the Manager is such a nice guy. He goes out of his way to make everyone happy. The park is clean and well maintained. Lots of grassy areas for kids and dogs. Lots of trees and peacefulness. Full electric water and waste hookups. Free Laundry, Shower rooms and bathrooms in the center of the park. A small fenced grass dog park. A nice little store with plenty of necessities. Just 1 hour South of Telluride and 1 hour West of Durango.

    We stayed at a site a couple down from this one but it wasn’t on the map so I thought I’d add it. This one has space for 2 vehicles. Road in is decent, fine for bigger rigs. From the trailhead at the point to Quinn creek there are 4 spots. None were occupied when we went, probably more the further down you go

    Very peaceful and clean campground at a low price

    We stayed here for one night while passing through. The price is very low at $8. The pit toilets are extremely clean and the campground is super clean. The campsites are very large and have a Pavillon but offer only a little privacy. There is potable water available via a hand pump, but I don't recommend drinking it as there were small particles in the water. We didn't see a camp host. Overall, it's a perfect campground for 1-2 nights for very little money.

    Nice camp

    It was very easy to find, with good signs. We got here at 1030pm, and got one of the first campsites. Unsure of how many free there were. It was quite a bumpy road, but no problems for our RV. We did however get screamed at my a man in a tent on the campsite on the side of us, but ended up staying in place and had no problems.

    Don't stay here

    My 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.

    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.

    Quiet but busy campground

    Stayed 2 nights in July 2024. The campsites are well spaced apart with a variety of sizes for just about anyone except large Class As and long toy haulers. Most sites were occupied. You can reserve sites in advance. I would recommend booking at least a month out. Most sites were densely shaded. Not much option for solar. Quiet hours 10pm-6am. Generators allowed. Sites in the E loop have electricity. Restrooms were well maintained vault toilets. No showers anywhere in campground. Park host live on-site. Firewood for sale at host sites. Potable water is available. The gravel road leading to the campground is VERY rough wash-board. Secure your stuff and be ready for the bumpy ride.

    We stayed at campsite 4 and it was pretty nice spot. All the sites were pretty spread out and the road was good. It ended up raining overnight. We're from Minnesota so I had no idea the mud was going to be so horrible. My shoes were caked. The tent ended up super muddy. We were slipping and sliding on the road.
