Very friendly and responsive staff. Clean gravel sites that are fairly level. Super Wal-Mart and Denny's within a couple of miles. Entrance to Mesa Verde National Park is about 9 miles away. There are trees at most sites and while close to shopping there is a good view towards Mesa Verde and the RV park is far enough from the road to be quiet, but not too far to be an easy drive. WiFi seems to be get overloaded often and will sometimes just stop responding for a time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We came in off the highway and what a pleasant surprise. We were escorted to our site, provided with maps of the area and directed to a service shop. I needed to have the rig serviced and what a great find that was. Done in 90 minutes at a reasonable price, thanks to the CG management. We got a pull thru site, level, grassy, shade and right next to the laundry. Good space between sites. We'd stay awhile the next time we come thru. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One word describes experience, wonderful. Camped for one month. Huge lot, beautiful mountain view. Very clean and well maintained large pool. Park was well kept. Office offered many items. Owners of park, great. Made us feel very welcome. Constantly coming around to make sure everything was ok. If in Cortez area, stay at this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
$46, ouch. Every thing but cable at this campground. Showers great and laundry reasonable. Views of mountains were outstanding. Do not miss Mesa Verde. Take the guided tours in the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We are big fans of KOA Kampgrounds, as they're usually clean and have good services available, and this one is no exception. Everything here is well laid out for easy "Big Rig" access. Staff was very friendly and gave us plenty of info about the surrounding area. Excellent views of the Ute Mountain, and some nice trails on site. Wi-Fi worked great, and all hookups were a snap. All sites are graveled, so leveling is easy. Only about 5 minutes away from amazing Mesa Verde National Park. Don't miss the 7-hour Skyway Drive and nearby Durango. Another great KOA park! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place for us. Good WiFi, laundry, store, cell phone reception and all amenities great. Great areas for dog walking. Drawbacks were no grass or shade, but we don't stick around during the day, so this not a big factor. Very friendly up front and very pet friendly...numerous front desk folks and they all seemed to have dogs that rode around on the guide golf carts. Dual sewer hookups for those with separate black/grey tanks. Small nature trail for dog or people walking that goes 3/4 around a lake with all kinds of feathered friends abounding. Lack of shade and grass maybe not so good for campers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice KOA RV Park. Beautiful views of Mesa Verde Mountains from your site. Very well maintained sites, and grounds. Staff were very pleasant friendly and helpful. Quiet RV Park, not situated on a main road, so no highway traffic noise. Good Wi-Fi. We stayed for one week, as we enjoyed it so much, and will come back again. The staff made a point of putting us in a site so that the back window of our fifth wheel had a view of the beautiful mountains. We noticed that they did this for everyone even though it was busy. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Camped here for one night. Friendly staff welcomed us; escorted us to our site. Most of park was rock gravel. Very clean campground about 3 or 4 miles east of Cortez. For us it was easy to get into and get out of. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Superior staff, location and amenities. Nice park adjacent to, convenient to town, Mesa Verde, and other attractions. Would be nice if there were more trees and grass, otherwise perfect. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Gravel, not much grass, but well kept. Swimming pool and playground were good. Staff was very friendly. Bathrooms were clean. KOAs tend to be higher priced, but other than that, a good campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Some campsites sit on top of mound, directly facing hot afternoon sun. We had made reservation well in advance but were still parked in one of these sites. We have stayed here yearly for past 4 years. Dog run is extremely poor. We camped here in a Motorhome.
At first glance this is a gravel parking lot with hookups, but it turned out to be a great place to stay. The staff really made the difference for us as they were helpful in accommodating us when we decided to stay a bit longer, and gave us good advice on some day trips outside of town. Nice mountain views, and extra large laundry facility. Multiple sewer connections per site to match up with the outlet location on your RV. Back to back hookups puts you close to neighbors on the street side, but curb side had plenty of space between RVs with picnic tables, fire rings, and in most cases a grill. Rest rooms and showers clean when I checked for this review. Price listed is for a full hookup site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were there when it wasn't full, but with side by side hook ups it could be close when full. Work campers were very nice and the grounds were kept very clean. Nice shop with basic food items. We looked at most other campgrounds in the area and believe this to be the nicest. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This KOA is under new ownership since our last visit, in 2002. It looks like an entire row of RV spaces has had sewer added. Also, the place has undergone a major electrical upgrade. We were there during a warm spell, where it got over 99F several days. The voltage stayed rock steady at 120 volts all the time, even in the afternoons. It's kept very clean, and there are several "workcamper" families maintaining the place during high season. Sites are mostly gravel, and nicely level. There's a separate video arcade outside, which seems to have been moved to make room for more washers and dryers. (The coin laundry is spotless.) There are lots of tent sites, which are arranged for maximum privacy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

As KOAs go, this is a nice one. $2 charge to use the modem. Pet run still not enclosed (as was promised in 1999), but not a big deal. Sites mostly gravel. RV sites are close to level, and the many tent sites are very cleverly arranged. Well off Highway 160, so it's quiet at night. It's near a wetland, so there are mosquitos. Worth a stop. If you do spend a night, be very sure to park your rig OUTSIDE the entrance before you register. The staff prefers that you do that, and it makes it easier to
get to your space. We camped here in a camper.
We stayed 2 nights. The cost was $16.00 for Passport America members. The management was not on site. We had to pick our own campsite. There was no one around to assist or answer questions. Sites were dirt and a bit muddy, but mostly level. The showers were clean but a little small. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a small park with lots of trees. The sites are a little tight. Location to visit Mesa Verde is great. Road noise is not a problem here although you are on the main road to town. We camped here 2 nights in a 36 foot motorhome. Staff was helpful in assisting us to our site. The above rate represents the Passport America rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good location at the intersection of US 160 and Colorado 145. Close to WalMart and various restaurants. Monthly Rate $375.00 Could use cable and Internet to attract customers We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Rate reflects Passport America rate. Normal rate $28 per night. Definitely an older park. Easy access in and out. All spaces back-in, and quite a few big rigs comfortably in their spaces. It appears that some of the spaces have newer power poles, but they are placing two sites on one pole which means that the right hand site will have to run your power cord under the rig to get to the power pole. If your cord is long enough, no problem. Good power and very good water pressure. No frills park. Below average restrooms, and laundry facility was just one washer and one dryer, but worked fine. Some road noise, and the closer you are located to the road, and if your on the left side of the park, the more chance that the 24 hour gas/convenience store on the other side of the fence will have some noise. Try to get on the right side as you enter, as it backs up to an empty field, and a little quieter. It's OK for an overnight or two, and if your able to get the Passport America rate, but if you're having to pay the full $28 then there are definitely better choices in Cortez. Park is convenient to restaurants and within a mile of Wal-Mart. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here a week ($105 weekly rate) older park had good wi-fi it was a little run down but we didn't spend much time in the park as we were taking in all the sights in the area. We would stay here again! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed using Passport America. Two nights at $13 and one at $26. Older ark and sites are not too level but can be dealt with. Actually I managed to get a level site. Not fancy but the right side of the park faces an open field so it's pretty quiet. Nice cottonwoods for shade and the satellite dish was ok. We were in site 37. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Basic simple park with no real amenities other than free wi-fi. About 30 years old and in need of attention. On the east edge of Cortez and convenient to town and Mesa Verde. It's an OK place to park -- and we ended up staying a week -- but it's no frills. Staff is very friendly and knows the area. Be sure to visit the new Anasazi Heritage Center in Dolores 10 miles north. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Longer term camping not encouraged if you are not in a newer, pristine looking rig. Nice location central Cortez off Main St. Camp hosts congeniality could be better. Monthly Rate is $500.00 We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground has an urban look and feel, which makes it convenient to Cortez area attractions, but also can be noisy along the back side where it abuts the neighborhood. It is pretty much just a flat gravel parking lot, and only a third of the sites really get shade. There is nothing in the campground for kids to do, so plan on making use of the park across the street. Some of the showers (not all) seemed to be plumbed backwards, making it tricky to adjust the temperature. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice park located right in town, but not noisy at all. Very helpful and courteous staff.. We only planned to say overnight but the park and weather were so nice we stayed an extra day and toured Mesa Verde National Park, which is only about 10 miles away. Lots of restaurants within a few miles of the campground, but the only one within easy walking distance is closed and for sale. There is a Colorado visitor center across the street; the helpful staff can provide lots of info on the local area. When leaving the campground, be aware that there is a back gate (open from 8:00 AM to noon) that will let you get back on US-161 at a traffic light; otherwise, it can be difficult to get out from the main park entrance during morning traffic. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground and well maintained. Clean rest rooms and friendly people. Nice place to stay and they love pets. (Westies) are really loved special! I would recommend this place as a place to stay while in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful park with gravel sites and large trees for shade. Staff is friendly and able to give recommendations on places to eat and activities in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A clean and neat park with utilities well placed. Level pull through sites Cable TV and wifi worked well. Would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here for 2 nights before moving to another campground in the area. The sites were OK but there were a lot of permanent trailers here that were in poor condition. The park was not very pet friendly even though they advertise differently. Bathrooms and laundry were clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice clean park, very quite, and centrally located to a number of National Parks and sites. Very nice managers, made us feel right at home. We would recommend this park to everyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a very nice quite park. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The WiFi at the park was having a problem so we could not use it from our motorhome. We could use it if we walked down to the patio at the office. I love the trees and the convenience. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean, shady and friendly. They have added fast free Wi-Fi. Best park in the Cortez area. Not much for children to do but quiet and great for adults. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very nice place. Not too large and very well kept with friendly and helpful staff. Spotless bath and laundry and nice grassy areas with mature trees. Free cable TV. No WIFI, but there is a modem hookup in the office. Located right in downtown Cortez, but fairly quiet for the location. Convenient to shopping (Walmart nearby) and only a few miles to Mesa Verde NP. Not much in the park for kids to do with no pool or playground, but city playground is across the highway. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very clean, quiet park. Located in town. Sites are gravel with a paved access road. Friendly, helpful staff. Sites are mostly level, with 17 pull-throughs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
