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.

Morefield Campground, located just inside Mesa Verde National Park, offers a convenient and scenic basecamp for exploring the park’s incredible ancient cliff dwellings and stunning landscapes. The campground is spacious and well-organized, with over 250 sites that accommodate tents, RVs, and trailers. The setting is peaceful, with sweeping views of mesas and easy access to trails like the Point Lookout Trail.
Amenities are a highlight here, including flush toilets, showers, a well-stocked camp store, and even a fuel station. It’s an excellent choice for families or those who appreciate a few comforts while camping.
However, campers should be prepared for sudden and severe weather. The high desert location can bring intense storms with strong winds. During our stay, our tent nearly flew away despite being staked down securely, so it’s worth bringing extra gear like sandbags or heavy-duty stakes to keep your setup anchored.
Overall, Morefield Campground is an excellent choice for exploring Mesa Verde, combining convenient amenities with a beautiful natural setting. Just keep an eye on the weather and pack accordingly to ensure a comfortable stay.
TravelerWhile kind of on the pricier side for campgrounds I really enjoyed my 2 nights there in early Oct 24. Easy access to get on the road to the cliff dwellings early in the day, flush bathrooms, tons of sites, trails nearby, a little center with a store, cafe, gas, and most importantly showers.
They let you pick your site which is nice so I got a site with a flat spot for my rooftop tent, but some sites are definately more geared to tent camping, but there are tons of site options.
Would stay again.
ScoutTwo nights here. Boondocks go, no water needed, but great location, restrooms nearby. Very peaceful.
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.

Monday evening, third week of September site 25. Quiet. Well spaced sites. Sloped towards lake. At least this site and 26 would be difficult to find level spot for tent and requires lots of rocks or blocks to level rv. Note west side of lake campsites are 6 miles from US160. Deer came out around 6 pm. Bear area, none seen. Nice stopping place.
GuideFine for a night. Didn’t think it was anything special but there are showers. Good price
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.
TravelerSimple and clean facilities; hammock stand on my site was bonus, wish I’d known to pack hammock! Quiet on a weeknight, I can see how it might have a much busier energy on summer weekends.
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 .

This was such a good place to stay! First of all, manager John really saved the day when we needed to borrow a tent. He was very kind and helpful and made sure our trip continued without a hitch. The amenities are clean and convenient and we really enjoyed the shared kitchen! Perfect if you don’t want to bring kitchen supplies because it is very well stocked! Highly recommend!
ScoutBeautiful campsite, three mule deer strolled through, munching their dinner as we cooked ours. Well appointed store on site along with shower and laundry facilities. Campground had flush toilets— an appreciated amenity.
TravelerPros: staying in MVNP!, flushing toilets and running (fresh) water everywhere, a nice variety of spots to choose from, nice showers available by the trading post
Cons: a bit pricey for what you get (40 bucks for no hookup), distance from the shower/shop requires driving, absolutely zero cell service whatsoever
RangerWe were the only campers on the west side campground. There were several campers on the east side. No water and just pit toilets on west side. Don’t know about east side. Large spots. Most have a fairly noticeable slope. Many deer and chipmunks. Nice view of lake. Nicely secluded. 5G good cell on T-Mobile. Long gravel road to west side campground.
GuideGood showers, some of the camp sites have decent WiFi connection, fairly quiet, and wildlife (deer and prairie dogs) in camp side. Toilets not the best, lots of wasps
GuideDon't go the wrong way on the road the ranger will get ya, lol. Stars and the moon where great. A lot of people but still super quiet by 830
GuideWhen it comes to camping within Mesa Verde National Park, Morefield Campground is the only game in town. As noted by at least one other reviewer, the road from the park entrance to the campground can be challenging as it winds its way around the monolith that is the first prominent geographic feature reached once in the park.
Though the campground operator makes reservations, once in the campground site selection is first-come, first-served. After driving through the loops available for RVs and travel trailers, we selected a camp site in the Waipi Loop. The site selected was just barely adequate to accommodate our 18-foot travel trailer, but it was fairly level, requiring minimal leveling of the rig. Sites are well-spaced and close to restrooms and freshwater supplies.
We visited Mesa Verde National Park in early June 2023, well before the height of the tourist season. The camp store has not yet stocked many of the items it would probably stock later in the season so we cannot comment on how well it will fit the camper's needs later. There is a Sinclair gas station within the camp store complex, with gas available 24/7, payment is by credit/debit card. The shower facilities, located in the same complex, are free and reasonably clean though the drainage system leaves something to be desired - water accumulates in the stall and on the floor of the changing area.
We recommend Morefield Campground to visitors wishing to camp near the ruins. It is still another 15-20 miles from the campground to the ruins and museum. We encountered rain on each of the three nights we stayed so plan accordingly.
TravelerIt was a great stay, the landscape is gorgeous and the camp hosts have a very good vibe and maintain that on the property
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
ScoutFutons and mattresses rock hard, but everything else was great! Electricity and a fridge, clean when we arrived, code worked, great stars and quiet campground. Fairly clean bathrooms. Slept on our own cots. Fire rings above ground.
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!!!
