Best Campgrounds near Shiprock, NM

Nice facilities, back-in and pull through sites. On maim street in Cortez, CO. Everything you need is close.

It’s a gravel parking lot with a shelter and bathroom. The road is ok. You do have to straddle some ruts but nothing a low to the ground car can’t handle. It looks like it would be slick when muddy

Very nice RV site in Mancos on the river. I was there first week of the season so pretty open. Good showers, bathrooms and office site. Brenda was very helpful

We need to stop at an Rv park once in awhile to get organized and do laundry. This is a very nice Rv park! The sites are spread out with trees. The manager is very nice and helpful. They sell propane too

Liked it a lot. Out of town. Trees. Quiet. Clean. Laundry. Showers. Toilets. Full hook ups. Filled up our propane. Could have had a fire and sat in their nice chair but it was too chilly.

Getting up there was not possible in my Travato (in my opinion). I've got some Falken Wildpeaks so traction was not so much the issue as the uneven path up.

Very nicely kept Campground. Owners obviously take a lot of pride in keeping things clean and maintained.

Large campground that is part of the San Juan county grounds.

This spot was awesome!! There were plenty of open spaces, and the facility was clean. The laundry room was clean and affordable to get caught up if you are on the road. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5, a long-term resident was burning trash one night that smelled up the entire campground! Great place to stay!!

Has other reviewers have stayed hit the bathrooms and laundry room are spotless. The service is great and the price is right.

After a handful of failed attempts at finding a BLM or NF campsite due to closed gates, we finally found this open RV park. This happy accident had the cleanest laundry and shower facility I've seen and we took advantage of it since we had it available to us. Another great surprise was the Mexican restaurant right next door: great food and house margaritas! Our night ended up better than expected.

Could not stay--pulled up and the sign on the closed gate says closed until April 30 for elk and deer winter range.

The perfect spot if you plan to visit Mesa Verde nearby. The road is a bit difficult for a RV, with a lot of holes but the sites are worth it. If you have a big RV I recommend you stay in the lower camp sites where you have plenty of space

We generally stay off-grid but this no-frills offering is perfect for resupply. Full hookups for $40 night after senior discount.

Beautiful views of Sleeping Ute from the sites. Clean bathrooms with flushable toilets. Level parking spot with tent pads and shade covered tables at each site

Only free place near Durango in the winter. We called and asked the BLM & Forest Service. Easy access, lots of space. Bumpy access road and highway noise.

Flat, very clean pit toilets, picnic tables with shade and a great trail. 100%!

We stayed for 3 nights due to the convenience of Mesa Verde NP. The GPS coordinate on Google were spot on. The driveway was a little rough and can get very pitted with wet weather. We have a 38 foot 5th wheel that had plenty of clearance. We stayed in site 9. They do recommend 30ft and under but we got lucky there was an available site.
