Target Tree Campground is located 7 miles east of Mancos on the north side of Highway 160 at an elevation of 7,643 feet. It is the ideal camping spot for day trips to Mancos, Durango and Mesa Verde National Park. The name, "Target Tree," refers to the Ute Indians' use of the area to harvest sap and bark from Ponderosa pines as food supplements. They also used the trees for target practice, leaving several scarred trees throughout the area.
Visitors may enjoy taking a short, accessible interpretive trail to view a historic target tree. The campground is also known for its great birding opportunities, with a sign in the campground that lists species found in the area. The Narrow Gauge Trail begins within the campground and climbs 3.4 miles to an old railroad grade. The rails were placed just three feet apart to allow trains to navigate through the rugged mountains.
The campground sits on a south-facing hillside overlooking Thompson Park. A Ponderosa pine and Gambel oak forest provides shade in many sites. The area is hot during the summer, but cools off significantly at night.
Southwestern Colorado, part of the Four Corners region, contains over 4,000 archaeological sites and over 600 cliff dwellings. Mesa Verde National Park is 1 hour and 45 minutes south, close enough for a day trip. Other sites within a few hour's drive include the Anasazi Heritage Center in Dolores, Canyon of the Ancients and Hovenweep National Monument.

Traveler
Clean, hot showers and large laundry room.
One of the more beautiful RV sites, sitting along the silverton & Durango tourist train.
However given we don’t even plug in, $78 including tax is too expensive for us.
Ranger
We spent two nights here. I think I would’ve chosen the loop with campsites 1 through 19 instead of the other loop that we stayed at. We were in campsite 26 and it was a little difficult to get our trailer into it because we had to back uphill. Also, the other loop most likely would have a view overlooking the lake more. The showers were very nice and they do have a dump station. My only complaint I guess would be the road in from the main highway was pretty rough and had lots of potholes. That road is about 17 miles long.

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.
ScoutWe did 4 campgrounds during our trip in Colorado this summer. This one was the best: very clean, warm welcome, not that expensive… The Durango & Silverton train passes through the camp, it’s so fun. And you can the free trolley to go downtown Durango, very convenient. Thank you !
ScoutThe 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.
Guide
Right off of the highway, and that means you can hear said highway. Friendly host.
RangerWe stopped to get out of the heat wave and visit durango. Full Hookups, emptied and reloaded water tanks, did laundry, swimming pool, great showers, 1/4 mi to the park for river accees for tubing. Super friendly staff
ScoutA small but mighty campground… pull thru, back in and tent camping. Site 16 is the best…it doesn’t have sewer but you basically have a double site to your self. They offer 10% military discount…excellent WiFi, a small pool, bath house and laundromat… it’s about average price for area…($150ish) for mid week stay….very quiet…no playground for kids. Oh there is also a small stream that runs thru .

ScoutTried to call several times to make reservations no answer got there lady was real crabby said they get 80 calls a day can’t answer them all you needed to leave message told the we were on motorcycle hard to get reception in spots 45$ for a tent sight is a little steep
TravelerWe have a tent on our Truck and had a great spot! It was very woodsy, and secluded! It was quiet a hike up and down a hill to go to the bathrooms. I loveeee that they have a dog park! I was super bummed you can't have a normal fire pit, you can only rent a propane one. We will be back for sure!!!

TravelerJust a couple miles from downtown Durango, CO
A wonderful spot. Great staff. Good wi-fi in an area with poor cell service. Creekside spots available if you reserve in advance (we didn’t).
Overall 10 out of 10!

Jake from the Dyrt here! Navajo Lake Group Camp offers the perfect setup for groups with 4 separate sites so each tent has their own space. They provide the tents so don't worry about packing them! Check them out and make sure to leave a review on the Dyrt!
GuideWell kept. Trolley stop so close you don't need to find a parking place while exploring downtown. Wifi is good enough to stream. No dog park but enough area to do their business. Tight spaces. We're 43 feet fifth wheel. Barely enough room to park truck in the site. We would stay again.
LegendThis would be a 5 star review if the owners allowed access to the river and green area along it that they own. It is right there at camp but you can look but not touch. Everything else is really top notch. Well kept and clean grounds and facilities. Very nice laundry facilities. Very good wifi. Nice sized pull through sites. Can’t comment on pool as was not open yet. Trolley stop that gets you into town right across the street. A few nice full timers. Their rigs are in good condition. Better than two parks north of this one.
ScoutCame to Durango for a visit. Stayed in this campsite for a night. It’s a nice little place, and except for the highway near by. The train passes by during the day. I would stay here again. There is a trolley to take you into town. Good place to stay.
Scout
This is a great place to camp in Durango. Had good views with the resort sitting on a hilltop. The staff is awesome here. Will definitely be back again.
Scout
Clean sites, large enough for big rigs, full hookups, and great staff! Thanks for the fun!
GuideWe 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!
ScoutThe campground is next to the road and the railroad tracks. There is no site privacy. But it's a useful stop if you need a shower, laundry, and resupply in Durango.
GuideStayed here for two nights visiting Durango. This place is set up well, well maintained, good facilities, nice staff and the trains run right through it! Great laundry space and showers were clean. Only negative I could come up with is the sites are pretty close together.
GuideNavajo Lake was a last minute reservation to escape the southern heat. SUCCESS, the sites had shelter, access to water and good Marina. Not many marked trails but you can still explore. Temps were good with the breeze to help. From June 1-11-22.
TravelerIt was our first time using hookups which we really appreciated. Our site was close to the pool, bathrooms and main lodge. Most spots are close, but the we had a large area w/picnic table. We ran our fan to drown out the traffic noise. Grounds are pleasant to walk with pretty views. Just a few minutes to town.
TravelerEasy access from 550, flat and grassy tent spots. Good wifi and clean bathrooms. 2 people per site, $5 extra for every person after that. One vehicle, $10 for an extra vehicle. Steep prices but it was a great last minute spot. Durango Hot Springs right up the road is a must!
GuideWell kept, easy to find, easy to navigate. Facilities are nice (bath, laundry, park, put put). The nicer sites have beautiful views. We walked up through there but our fifth wheel was too big so we stayed in the lower sites. Short drive to downtown Durango. Definitely would return!
