"It is adjacent to flush toilets. A few steps from the back of the site is a nice view of the reservoir. "
"Mountain biking trails galore! Hiking, fishing, swimming nearby. Great base camp allows 30 day stay limit! Don’t miss this hidden gem of a campground!!"
"You can hear the highway, but it's not much. Just ambient background noise. I got a spot with shade all day, so that was awesome."
GuideLoved loved loved our stay here! Tucked away from the highway and far enough from any big city, you want nature and stars at night? This is the place! We backed up to a huge green field. The gentleman that helped us back our 42 foot rig into our site gave PERFECT directions, telling my husband which was to turn our wheel which make this a first try back in. The owner was the kindest man we enjoyed getting to know. No dog park, but a large open field we're allowed to utilize, letting the pups off leash. They LOVED it! Mesa Verde NP with the cliff dwellings are a short drive away, perfect day trip. We should have stayed here a whole week!
TravelerAccording to the campground host our site (16E) is one of the most desired sites. The site has 30 amp electric service. It is adjacent to flush toilets. A few steps from the back of the site is a nice view of the reservoir. The site offers ample space for a tent in addition to the back-in paved pad that accommodated our 32 ft truck/trailer combination. A picnic table and fire ring is provided. Numerous trees offer shade and privacy.
The roads and pads could use some maintenance. At one time a nice dump station was provided but has since been abandoned. We dumped at the Maverick's in Cortez.
TravelerPros: Really nice big camping spots, pit toilets not too far of a walk, firewood available from hosts, convenient location
Cons: first come first served (I think some people missed out even this late in the season), quite a bit of road noise at times due to being next to a big hill on the motorway
ScoutBeautiful place! It's pretty easy to get into, there are more secluded places up the hill a ways but it gets kinda rough. You can hear the highway, but it's not much. Just ambient background noise. I got a spot with shade all day, so that was awesome. There was one night an inconsiderate person parked his company truck and camper as close to me as was possible with wide open space all over and ran his generator. Luckily he was gone the next day.
RangerOne of our favorite campgrounds we’ve been to!
This is a serene, beautiful, and fantastically family owned and operated campground set in the foothills of the Rockies. Great walks around the property and on nearby forest service roads make for a great outdoor experience. The large turf areas at the front of the campground are fantastic for children or groups. Mancos and Durango beyond have everything you could want in terms of small town restaurants and stores and larger town supplies. We can’t wait to return!!
GuideBeautiful well kept campground. Nearby highway is a little noisy. Friendly campground host.
LegendWhat a wonderful place to stay! Tucked back off the main road up in the hills! The Staff is GREAT! Lisa at the front desk makes you feel right at home and very welcomed to be here. The sites are nestled in among tall pine trees and spacious! They have someone that shows you to your site as well! That's service! Much appreciated!
GuideWe camped here on day 2. We were traveling on motorcycles and chose this based on location, and available water. The we site said it had water. There are other campgrounds in the area. It was almost empty a +, the water was not turned on a- . Campground was clean and quiet and far enough from the highway that only a little traffic noise came threw.
A good number of cars were driving threw, the camphost was very friendly and appologised about the lack of water. She said the cars were people from the highway stopping to use the bathroom. Water would make it a 4*.
I rode down to Mancus to buy water. There was no available water to filter. Mancus is a very small but nice town with a grocery store. Ice cream and 2 gallons of water, then back up the hill.
GuideOnly 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.
