Lovely Campground! Scenic views and very clean park! Bathrooms are cleaner than mine at home. Laundry Facilities nice. Great community outdoor kitchen area. Glamping tents looked nice and positioned for fantastic views. Owners were very nice and Bentley the cat was a friendly mascot! Great sleeping here!
ScoutWe stayed in the “primitive” glamping tent, and were completely thrilled. The bed was comfy, the tent kept us dry during storms, and we had room to entertain our friends. We cooked out in the pavilion twice, used the laundry room and showers, and all were great. Best of all, Matt & team were so kind and accommodating. We wouldn’t have left if we didn’t have to, and we can’t wait to visit again!

I had to change course on a road trip last minute which kept me in Southern CO on my way to UT instead of going north of Telluride. I found a tent site here last minute and it was such a gem! My site was right on the river and it was super spacious. The amenities were SPOTLESS. The cleanest showers I’ve ever encountered whilst camping and the bathrooms were HEATED! After a couple days of Colorado BLM pit toilets, I felt like I was glamping. The staff is incredibly welcoming and the grounds were very dog friendly. Would 100% recommend staying here if you’re ever passing through.
GuideThis park is very well-kept and the views are amazing. Most sites are huge (center sites alittle close together) and they offer full hookup, pull thru, and back-in sites. There are trees for shade. Owners are onsite and extremely friendly and professional. There are modern, private restrooms with shower, toilet, and sink as well as a larger restroom with multiple stalls and private showers. There is a beautiful covered pavillion with great views, gas grills, gas fire pit, and picnic table that is available for anyone to use. They have glamping tents, laundry, and propane onsite. Tons to do nearby including the reservoir, Mesa Verde, and much more. Delores (10 min) is a smaller town with nice dining and shops. Cortez (15 min) has all modern amenities including Walmart, chain stores, and grocery. Park is very quiet and friendly. Nearby gas and diesel available. Beautiful and top notch...they even rake the gravel sites between guests! Highly recommend! Our favorite campground to date!
RangerPretty setting on the Dolores River. Sites are fairly close together even by Colorado standards but they are level. There is a couple of fishing ponds, river access, Yurts, cabins, and a few Covered wagons to rent.
Water pressure or lack of is the worst. The worst we have experienced in over 100 campgrounds.
GuideThis is a really pretty place with level sites. Full hookups. One end of the Campground has cabins, yurts, Prarie Schooner wagons, and triframe cabins. All along the gorgeous Dolores River. This would be the perfect spot to meet with friends or family who don't have an RV. We were at site 13 with our 30' Grand Design bumper pull trailer. Plenty of room. Our site backs up to a fishing pond (catch and release). Big, clean restrooms and showers. The town of Dolores is a 5 minute drive... plenty of restaurants and a brewery. Definitely coming back.

This campground had so much to offer! Our original plan of camping in BLM land was foiled by the "elk and deer winter ranging" blocking off the majority of the dispersed camping areas around Mesa Verde National Park, but we were luckily able to land a spot at this amazing place! It may be lacking some cover, but it makes up for it in the large covered patio area that is packed with entertainment! They have foosball table, cornhole boards and ping pong to name a few! The kitchen was super handy so we didn't have to tap into our water tank for dishes. Owners were working hard on site to get the teepees up for the season and they were so friendly! A peaceful area that is just a quick drive from the park! All the main amenities were connected by concrete pathways that are lit by solar lights at night and you can tell they are continuously working and adding things to better the experience for future campers. They also have bunk cabins, teepees, sites with cover and I think we saw a yurt coming in. All in all, it was probably our favorite last minute campsite booking!

I stayed two nights on my road trip from El Paso to Provo. I wanted to explore southeastern Utah. Great campsite but a little far from Moab—about 60 miles. I’d probably stay closer to Moab next time even though it’s cooler and forested at the campground, which was peaceful. I reserved site 28 on Recreation.gov. I drove past several BLM and NF campgrounds en route to Canyonlands NP Needles unit through the NF road and then BLM land. As of Aug. 26, 2020 there was what looked like potable water from the spigot. I drank it fine. The bathrooms were clean. The Blanding Visitor Center guide recommended the Bulldog area for biking and wildlife, but I mainly saw cows down there and had a tough ride uphill.
Legend
Just like the name says, there are some amazing views from this campground. They have lots of options, tent camping, RV spots, and cabins. My family stayed in one of the cabins on the cliff on our way up into Utah. The views were beautiful and unreal. They were a little pricy, but I’d say it was worth it for the scenery.
There are some really cool hikes in the area too. Definitely check out Goulding arch and wildcat trail. The slot canyons in the area are pretty cool to see. Also, there’s a lot of cool Native American history to learn about in the area. This was an awesome place to hang around in for a couple of days.
LegendWe stopped here for a night on our way from Moab, Utah to Supai, Arizona. After a long evening of driving we decided to stop along highway 191 and found this easily accessible campground while looking on The Dyrt. We pulled in late at night but had no trouble finding a spot, it was actually quite empty considering it was a Friday night during the summer. The sites are large and well appointed, we had no trouble finding flat and shaded spots for our two tents. There was rain in the forecast so we chose a site that was a bit uphill, which served us well as a big storm hit and some of the lower sites did seem to get a bit muddy. The bathrooms here are very clean, and the campground as a whole was pretty spotless. We also got a discounted camping fee by using my annual national parks pass which was a nice surprise. I hope to come back again and explore the sorrounding areas, but I would also happily stay here again as a pit stop on a road trip.
Guide
Monticello is the ideal place to explore eastern Utah from. Everything is about an hour away. National Parks and monuments: Moab, Arches, Canyonlands, Hovenweep, Monument Valley, Canyons of the Ancients, even Mesa Verde is close. Moab is an hour away. Cortez, CO is an hour away if you need recreational, um, tobacco. It's also a lot less crowded than other places in the high season.
Old West RV Park, plunked down right in the middle of Monticello, is owned and run by "Big Jim," an avuncular trick shooter who regularly gives a show to the occupants of the 15 or so rigs that fit in his park.
Good Verizon coverage; the campground has wifi but it doesn't stretch out to the end. We were in space 12; Big Jim seemed to think it was not the best spot (no wifi), but we liked it because our door opened onto a view across the street instead of the side of another trailer.
The park will fit any size trailer if you can get one of the few pull-through spots. Other spaces, like ours, will fit pretty big trailers (ours is 25-ft) but you will have to unhitch and park next to your rig. There are full hookups and everything is in good order.
NOTE: the water pressure is quite high. They will lend you a pressure regulator for free or they will sell you one for $15.
We really enjoyed our four days here and would definitely visit again.
Ranger
Due to the lack of reviews we were unsure what we would be driving into. Upon arrival we noticed around half a dozen "sites" adjacent the reservoir. Most had a slight grade, but were overall fairly nice and clean. No Verizon service whatsoever, but we managed to regain service just up the road. Would stay again for a quick overnight before getting back on the road.
TravelerThis place was perfect I had access to trees and a big lake and no one around!
TravelerA quick visit. Pulled in late and no problems finding a level spot by the water.
TravelerEverything is in the title 😉 GPS point is not correct, we were looking for a small road but in fact it s at the end of the main road,on the right, just behind the park place. Here are our coordinates 37.666122, -109.442772 Well equipped with table and grill. Easy access to the water if the weather is good Beautiful view on the mountain Quiet despite the proximity with the road above
ScoutWe stopped here in the off-season. Very, very quiet with great views of lake and mountains.
TravelerWe decided not to stay. There were swarms of mosquitoes
ScoutMuch fuller and more crowded than 3 yrs ago when we visited. Took only place we found, closer to the dock and more traffic than preferred but still beautiful.
ScoutLarge site very close to the water. We paddle boarded in the reservoir and jumped off a few rocks. We stayed 2 nights.
ScoutWas quiet and convienent to the local town. No signal but there is some at the bottom of the entrance.
WARNING: if you don't have an off-road capable vehicle don't listen to the GPS, it took us down a super sketchy back road. If you're coming from the North, go further down and use Radio Hill Rd to access this site.
TravelerA nice respite after the crowds of the national monuments and parks. Quiet and sparsely used while we were here. A small amount of highway noise from 191 but very occasional. Deer wandering through in the evenings. Water spigots throughout campground allow for filling of water jugs. A few spaces for larger rigs and plenty for smaller rigs.
GuideGreat place right off the state route 191 going towards Moab from the south.
GuideStayed five days here. It was divided nicely between tents and RVs. That made it so the tent side was quieter. Vault toilet was very clean. Lots of wildlife in the area.
GuideGreat campground. Very clean and quiet when I was there. Vault toilets were clean. RVs well separated from tents, so that made it quieter (not hearing generators). Turkeys and deer in area. Supposedly there are bears, but I didn't see them. Decent cell coverage for Verizon.
GuideNice and quiet. Clean and well kept. Very nice campground host.
ScoutWe stayed at this campsite for one night on our way back to Phoenix from Denver and it is almost exactly half way in between (roughly 6.5 hours from either location) Exactly as expected. Site 28 was calm quiet and had 2 spots for Tents. We used the bigger of the two tent spots and set up a 6 person tent overlooking a heavily forested area.
ScoutWe needed a stop before our travels to Colorado. What a gem! Beautiful sites and so quiet. And with our Senior pass (federal national parks) the cost was $10! We didn’t have a reservation but there were many sites open.
