Ancient Cedars Mesa Verde RV Park
Extremely strict cancellation policy
Made a Rez 5 months ago and didn’t see the fine print cancellation policy stating 14 days out no refund. I had to make new plans due to unforeseen circumstances and called to find out that 13 days out is too bad for me. Not any concessions or credits for future stays, nada zilch. So for a slow time of year they just print money hoping no sees their fine print. I’m a business man and I’ve always seen rules as an opportunity to make someone’s day not motivation to make negative reviews. Maybe I’m old school but there was zero expense on their part and 5 months of cash holding for them. I guess their business is doing so well that they send people the other direction when looking for a place to stay
Moore's RV Park & Campground
Old KOA but better
This is not desert Rose campground but Morris campground. An old KOA from the '70s. Very well maintained and clean. Very friendly staff and helpful. Would stay again.

Stay 7/24-9/24, Site#3
I almost hate to write this review as with only 8 spots I don't want it to get so busy we can't get a reservation!
On it's surface the description may not sound like much, gravel parking lot, no‘park type’ amenities etc., but it is truly amazing here. If you're looking for pickle ball courts, pools and crowds, this probably isn't the place for you. If you're looking for the closest thing to boondocking with FHUs and the nicest owners, this is it!
So what makes it so special?
With only 8 spots in a center row, there is no one in front or behind blocking your view. We had Point Lookout, Lone Cone, and Knife Edge of Mesa Verde NP out our front window, high desert BLM out our rear window, and Sleeping Ute Mtn. out our campside windows.
Minimal lighting makes Dark Sky stargazing amazing!
We had views everywhere, gorgeous sunsets and wildlife of some sort every morning and evening. The owner, Bill, passes through daily for trash pickup and is a wealth of information on things to do locally. His wife Judy even shared some of the garden harvest with us. All this is before even mentioning everything there is to do within 100yds to 30m of this centralized location.
About the Park:
Open Seasonally April- September, reservations open in January.
NO OTA Channels but a Clear sky for DISH/Starlink and Verizon(3b without a booster).
8 LONG level gravel pull through sites that are very well maintained… great for longer 5th wheels, large motorhomes with cargo trailers, double tows, or new RVers not wanting to back in after a long day of travel.
Sites are set up Buddy Style, but are well spaced and have a picnic table in a covered pavillion on cement pad between sites. End spots have their own Pavillion.
Daily trash pickup. Fire pit, Horseshoe pit, and large covered communal table in a centralized location.
FHU had no issues, even water pressure was good.
No bathroom/shower ammenities, so only self contained units permitted.
It's close enough to 160 to be easily accessible for an overnight, but far enough to not hear it. Road L gets some traffic, but quites down at night. There is a racetrack on 160 that you might hear on Friday& Saturdays during race season, but it wasn't bad. We slept with the windows open most nights with no issues.
Roads in are good till the last unpaved bit. The unpaved road is good, just a little bump at the transition. No overhead obstacles for us taller rigs.
Discounts available on weekly and monthly stays make it a good deal for spending some time exploring the area.
Area Attractions: Phil's World hiking/biking/ATV trails is maybe 100yds from the entrance. Mesa Verde NP is a 10min drive, Canyons of the Ancients visitor center is about 20min, Yucca House about 30min, town of Cortez about 8 min, Delores about 25min, and Durango about 35min(where you can take the Silverton Train). We spent 2 months here and still didn't see everything!
The BLM land behind us presented a show of wildlife every morning/evening and plenty of hiking. Deer almost daily. Our neighbor spent his evenings walking the land scouting ruins which are pretty much everywhere around here.
Several stores in Cortez… City Market, Safeway, Walmart, Autozone, O’Reillys, well stocked liquor store, several fast foods and some really great resturants. Definitely try The Wigglin Pig and Once Upon A Sandwich. Great RV repair shop in Mancos, about 15m away, Kodiak RV. They offer mobile tech services as well. Free dump at the Maverick if you're boondocking in the area. Cortez Maverick is much easier than the Durango Maverick to maneuver for dumping.
Farmer's Market in Cortez on Saturdays in season.
Fiesta Twin has$5.00 movies on Tuesdays, new releases.
Laundromat by the Subway is the most economical.
Large Rec Center in town with day passes.
This park was an unexpected gem we found when the high heat this summer nixed
some of our boondocking plans. What was supposed to be a 3nt stay, turned into 2 months.
We would definitely stay here again…. Probably next summer😀
NOTE: Site#’s are in reverse order from entrance.#8 closest to the entrance,#1 furthest. Even# sites have their nose facing BLM and rear facing Mesa Verde NP.
Odd# sites have their nose facing Mesa Verde NP, and their rear facing BLM.
The Views RV Park & Campground
Views
Don’t let the dilapidated mobile home near the entrance scare you away. This place is super well maintained. Every site is well thought out and has great hookups. I thought a plug water and sewer was pretty uniform. Our site had a pedestal with 20/30/50 amp and then another with 30 20 feet further into the site. Lots of shade. The sites along the south edge of the property have amazing views of the Cortez valley and Sleeping Ute Mountain. Really nice communal fire pit, dog park and some trails too. Some sites have a beautiful brick fire ring too.
Forest Road 316 Roadside Camp
Decent spot that did the trick
We got to town late and our preferred spots were all taken, so we came here as a backup. The spots are all right off of the road and easy to get to. The views aren’t much, but they’re good spots. There’s a bit of traffic on the road but nothing out of the ordinary.
Mesa Verde National Park Boundary (BLM Land)
Get there early
This is a great spot, but there are only 15 sites, then it turns in to gated off private property. Get there early to help make sure you can find a spot.
Forest Road 316 Roadside Camp
Great Spot - Not Very Wild
Awesome spot, TONS of places to pitch a tent or park a camper.
That being said - lots of generators, moderate views, cars driving by often.
Sand Canyon
Great views
Beautiful views, good cell reception. Could hear neighbors but people were quiet and respectful. Also lots of bats flying around!!
Cortez RV Resort by Rjourney
Secluded rv park
Lovely little rv park just outside of town. Clean bathrooms, pool, little trail to walk to stretch your legs and well priced. 24 hr laundromat and not overcrowded. With as many empty spaces as they had, you’d think they wouldn’t have needed to put some rvs so close together.
Brown Springs Campground
Simple, comfortable spot
Free BLM campground. Modern and well kept. Only a few others there the night we stayed so it was quiet and peaceful
Angel Peak Scenic View Campground
Great view clean restroom
31/2 miles gravel road good shape
Chutes and Ladders Dipsersed
Nice camp
It was very easy to find, with good signs. We got here at 1030pm, and got one of the first campsites. Unsure of how many free there were. It was quite a bumpy road, but no problems for our RV. We did however get screamed at my a man in a tent on the campsite on the side of us, but ended up staying in place and had no problems.
CR 34 Dispersed Campground
Start of camps
Tuta was not the place for the campsites, but rather the start of the road where you can find X amount of campsites.
Ancient Cedars Mesa Verde RV Park
Don't stay here
My family and I have been to so many different campgrounds over the years and this one was the worst one I've ever seen. When we got there the place was filled with signs that basically said children couldn't do anything or only registered guests can do this. They also advertise putt putt but they had a tree that hung over one of the holes 2 feet off the ground making it almost impossible to play. As we got there a thunder storm was coming in making us uncomfortable setting up a tent. When we asked about switching to a cabin she told us it was a 2 night minimum and didn't even ask if we wanted to pay for 2 nights even though the cabins were completely empty. We ended up asking if we could car camp and she was very hesitant to even let us. When we got to our site it was so uneven and unmaintained that we couldn't even set up a tent if we wanted. There was also barely any gravel and with the rain car camping was a no. Even though we couldn't stay there because of the conditions she refused to give us a refund even a partial refund. As we were leaving with no place to stay she started smirking. We had to sleep at the Loves because everything else was booked. I'm am very disappointed, avoid this place at all cost.
Riverwood RV Resort
Beautiful, quiet setting
Very nice park with great hosts. It's a very new, clean, and well-maintained place. The showers have great water pressure, and the clubhouse is immaculate. Highly recommend!
Chutes and Ladders Dipsersed
Really nice up until it rained
We stayed at campsite 4 and it was pretty nice spot. All the sites were pretty spread out and the road was good. It ended up raining overnight. We're from Minnesota so I had no idea the mud was going to be so horrible. My shoes were caked. The tent ended up super muddy. We were slipping and sliding on the road.
Angel Peak NM Badlands | Dispersed Camping
Tranquil, secluded and scenic boondocking sites
Just arrived at Angel Peak dispersed campground near Bloomfield NM. It's Monday July 9th 2024. We stayed one night. The gravel road from HWY 550 is in good shape. Only one other camper in the entire area. This is completely dry camping. No potable water nor electricity. However, each site has a fire ring, picnic table and shade shelter. Everything is very tidy. Only a small bit of litter in the fire ring. Clean vault toilet nearby. Strong 5G TMobile cell signal.
Echo Basin Cabin and RV Resort
Best Dog Friendly Place Around
We came on July 4th, and although many activities were going on, this place was quite like a mouse by Sunday. This place has everything: a massive field for dogs to play off-leash (they must be on in the park), a great restaurant, laundry, propane, a swimming pool, and a massive amount of outdoor activities.
Oh, and supper friendly staff.
The Views RV Park & Campground
Close to perfect as can be
Attention to detail over the top the owners obviously want to deliver and experience that is hard to beat. Cleanliness like a new house.
Mesa Verde National Park Boundary (BLM Land)
Nice Stay close to Mesa Verde
This was such a nice spot super close to Mesa Verde national park. It was about a 5 minute drive from the park entrance. The road was a little bumpy at places and some of the spots were rutted up but any vehicle could navigate it if they are careful.
Mesa Verde National Park Boundary (BLM Land)
Good, but coordinates are wrong.
Great place, but the coordinates are wrong . Using Google maps and it took us to town. Had to look at the map to get there.
Riverwood RV Resort
Quite peaceful park
Close to Mesa Verde, many Native American sites with their history documented. Horseback riding is close. OHV rental and trails near by.
We definitely would recommend this RV Park and will return when in the area.
Mancos State Park Campground
Simple/Quiet at West Campground
Simple 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.
BLM Dispersed on San Juan River
Above San Juan river
Road entrance only with high clearance vehicles- for our expedition truck the road further down was narrow and very rocky but doable. At the end there is space to turn and a level place to park. Nice view
Chutes and Ladders Dipsersed
Great stay
Google maps was spot on. Road in was a little rutted, but the e350 made it no problem. Great nite sleep, we are self co tained.
Chutes and Ladders Dipsersed
Not real level but great views of Mesa Verde
The views are amazing here. Not all the sites are level, and this place can get a bit muddy if it rains, which it did for us. Established stone fireplace rings on all sites. Traffic noise from the main road carries, but dies off at night. Sites on right side of road are lower and can get muddier.
Target Tree Campground
Easy to access, can hear highway
Right off of the highway, and that means you can hear said highway. Friendly host.
