Owner was so great and so kind," noted one visitor about the Homestead facilities. Morefield Campground in Mesa Verde National Park also offers cabin options with access to free showers and laundry facilities for guests exploring the historic sites.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Cortez Mesa Verde KOA provides traditional KOA-style cabin accommodations with more amenities than basic park cabins. The Views RV Park & Campground includes cabin rentals among its diverse lodging options. Ancient Cedars Mesa Verde RV Park features cabin rentals with access to drinking water, showers, and toilets. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during peak summer months.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties - some provide only basic microwaves while others include refrigerators and stovetops. Bright Star Campground and Sundance RV Park both offer cabin accommodations with electricity and water hookups. Many campground stores stock essential items, though selection is typically limited to basics. Morefield Campground features a camp store with "a decent selection of craft beer at good prices," according to visitor feedback. During winter months, availability decreases significantly as several cabin providers close seasonally.

TravelerWe camped in the dry camping area and found a shady site. Bathrooms and water spigots were plenty. Avery nice camping experience.
We did not know what to expect in our visit to Mesa Verde. Plan to drive 50 miles or so inside the park to see all of the sites.
GuidePerfect, no negative comments. The views are amazing. The sites are large with full hook ups. There is glamping and tents. Everything looks brand-new. Restrooms/ showers are meticulous. There is firewood available, nice firepits. You can buy propane. Very friendly couple that own and host the camping/ rv site. They guide you to your campsite. In one word perfect, we will be back
ScoutAs a well-needed stop after a few primitive campsites, this had more than we needed and the setting is much nicer than most RV park style sites we've been too. It's right on the river and a short drive from Telluride.
LegendThis is a very clean campground
The bathroom, laundry room, park were all very clean
It was quiet campground during week with lots of open spots
Only negative is the location - it’s right in town area
For us we just needed a quick overnight stop while we went to Mesa Verde
We were 25/30 min early for check in and were charged $5 for early check in - usually in our experience most campgrounds wave those fees being within a half hour
TravelerThis one is in the middle of town. It was very nice, clean bathrooms, and quiet. Short walk to coffee shops and grocery store and the folks in the office were super nice.
ScoutWhether you're camping, glamping, or RV'ing in southwest Colorado, The Views RV Resort is an outstanding place to stay. It truly lives up to its name, offering beautiful scenic views along with a wide range of onsite amenities.
The grounds are immaculate, and the owners and staff are friendly, welcoming, and genuinely accommodating.
We've stayed at a lot of campgrounds over the years, and this one surpassed every KOA we've visited.
We stayed here while exploring Mesa Verde National Park and couldn't have been happier with our experience. We highly recommend The Views to anyone visiting the area.
GuideI was unsuccessful in reserving a campsite from my phone, but fortunately the campground is huge and getting a drive-up site was no problem. I arrived after the camp store closed and instructions were to pick an open site then check-in in the morning. This worked well because not all sites are equal - some are tiny, some are sloped, some you have to walk a path or up stairs to get to your table and tent pad. I was in the tent loop which got pretty crowded and noisy on the weekend, but I noticed that the other loops were nearly empty.
Free hot showers and a coin laundromat are available to all park visitors (you don't need to be camped there), there's a camp store and also small breakfast cafe that serves made to order breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and pancakes. There's a gas station (pricey) if you didn't plan your gas sufficiently for the long drive to the sites and a kennel because dogs aren't allowed on the trails or tours.
Deer regularly roamed through the campground, adding a nice touch.
RangerWe had a quiet spot in the Oraibi Loop near a restroom where we had views of the mountains and prairie down below. Lots of deer nearby and we even saw an owl after the sunset. Great camp store. Hot water for showers down by the store.
RangerBeautiful drive up to the campground lent way to being surrounded by tons of wildlife (deer and owls!) and unforgettable mountain landscapes. We got in late but finding our envelope was easy. Picked a great spot in our designated loop with no neighbors
