Great location directly across from the Mesa Verde Nation Park Visitor's Center. Clean and well maintained. Friendly staff who were genuinely interested in keeping a first-class RV Park. Pool, golf, and other family activities. Note: Google Maps took me to the wrong location in Mancos, CO. I had a heck of a time turning my rig around to get back on track.

If you are in the area to visit Mesa Verde National Park, you will find this park very convenient. Numerous sites in the park have a view of the Mesa. Also, close to this park is the Notah-Dinah Trading Company, Aztec Ruins, Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly, Lowry Pueblo, Havendeep Pueblo, and Durango. In spite of it's name (and possibly once true) there is only a small section of the park that has old growth trees. The rest were small, somewhat muddy, treeless sites. Our site came with the...

If you are in the area to visit Mesa Verde National Park, you will find this park very convenient. Numerous sites in the park have a view of the Mesa. Also, close to this park is the Notah-Dinah Trading Company, Aztec Ruins, Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly, Lowry Pueblo, Havendeep Pueblo, and Durango. In spite of it's name (and possibly once true) there is only a small section of the park that has old growth trees. The rest were small, somewhat muddy, treeless sites. Our site came with the previous campers dog waste. The sites are in serious need of maintenance as the weeds were so high around the picnic table that it was unusable. Overall, the park was overgrown with weeds which detracted from it's appearance. It has a large, log cabin clubhouse that was very comfortable. All the facilities were near the front except for a barn that may be used for events. There were none while we were there. The wifi was very poor and Verizon service was also spotty. Office and other employees were helpful and pleasant. Mancos is a small city but did have a two small grocery stores and a couple restaurants, but at least 2 were closed for good it appears. The pizza at P&D grocery was fresh and very good. Cortez is also close by with more choices. J Fargos in Cortez has a good menu, but the food was cold by the time it was served. If you are in this area to visit Mesa Verde, you can't beat this location.

We stayed the the first weekend of August and based from this RV park while sightseeing the Four Corners Area. From the minute we arrived the staff was very friendly and helpful. The park was very clean and appeared to be maintained. It was quiet and peaceful. They worked with us and moved reservations around so our friends who were meeting us at the park could park next to us. It looks like they are fixing the park up and adding more spaces.

The only issue was the area we were in, is the spaces were too close to each other and not much shade. Over all it was a very good experience and we are definitely staying again, as we frequent the area.

Our site did not have any shade, but bathrooms were clean. The showers are directly overhead, which meant you could not avoid wetting your hair. The internet was horrible.

First time we stayed here. This place is walking distance to the Mesa Verde National Park entrance. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The restrooms are spotless as is the laundry room and showers. There's a nice pool and mini golf area. Next door is horseback riding. Check out time is 11am.

When we couldn't get the Mesa Verde national park cliff dwelling tour in the morning, the staff here worked with us to allow a very late check out so we could go on the only tour left for the day (note to self: make tour reservations as early as possible). We will definitely be back here. Can't say enough good things about this place.

This is the worst RV Park we have ever stayed at in our thousands of miles traveled. We travel in a 2016 Allegro 37' and were given a "big rig" site. What a joke, as the site was not even large enough for our RV and car to park. The bath room for the "big rig" sites was no more than an outhouse with a flush toilet. No A/C in a 4 x 4 shed in 95 degree heat. I though I was going to pass out while using. The sites are cramped with no space between units. The owners were the rudest people I have ever... Read More

They claimed our dogs barked all night long yet we never left the unit the day of arrival and our dogs did not make a sound. They asked us to leave the next day and refused to give a refund. My guess is they wanted us out so they could book a longer stay. Do not waste your money on this park.

The absolute BEST RV Park! Quaint, quiet and literally right across the highway from Mesa Verde... And the view in each direction is spectacular. You are within driving distance of more National Parks, Monuments and scenic drives. We had a spacious, shaded pull thru spot. The park is well maintained, pet friendly, and all the hosts friendly and helpful. Felt like I was a welcome friend instead of a customer. They worked magic to help us extend our stay...on Memorial Day weekend!! Fabulous people,... Read More

This is a first class facility. It is quiet at nite. The spots are roomy. The park is spotless. The owners have done a ?????? great job making for a good experience at Ancient Cedars! We didn't use the restroom or laundry facilities, but are sure they are on par with the rest of the park. We will be sure to stay at the park again. They are just outside the gate to Mesa Verde N.P. What a great combination!

Sites are too narrow! Sites were designed for small travel trailers. Sites are not level. Was not impressed with the management. Made me checkout on time even though I had a flat tire on my tow dolly. Couldn't even let me park off to the side until I could get help. There was a large dog area for exercising the dogs off-leash and a nice store.

Showers are limited to 5 minutes or you will be scolded and told to get out. Signs are posted in the bathroom and shower area clearly saying 5 minute showers. We did not know this before checking in or we would have picked a different park. We need 10 to 15 minutes to shower adequately. Most sites have no to little shade even with a premium site. Space between sites is the with of a picnicking table. Although some sites do have grass between them not all do. Internet although available is... Read More

Space between sites is the with of a picnicking table. Although some sites do have grass between them not all do. Internet although available is poor at the sites and we used our own jet pack wile in the park. You can use your computer at the main building and get internet there. The pool area was clean and adiquate. They have a family hot tub and a adults only hot tub. They have a game room with a large tv and microwave. Sites do not have fire rings but they are available for rent on a daily basis. They have a well stocked freezer of Ice cream and steaks and a nice camp store. Biggest appeal is the national park is across the street. Would not stay again, we will drive for the cost of staying here and the lack of shower access.

Spent a month in this heaven. Looking out kitchen window at the Sleeping Ute is amazing. I chose this campground after one conversation with the owner. I have not been disappointed. Owners are on site working on grounds every day. Clean, and family friendly. Great little store and the laundry is sparkling. Nicely located between Mancos and Cortez and Durango is a short ride also.

We ( my wife and I ) are new to RVing and thoroughly enjoyed or recent stay. Could not ask for better accommodations including a spacious dog run.

Location to The cliff dwellings was WALKING DISTANCE! Overall the place is good. Roomy sites. However don't plan on using the showers if you have hair longer than you chin! My daughters who BOTH HAVE LONG HAIR were SCOLDED for taking a longer than 5 minute shower! I'm sorry but if you have long hair there is no way in hell it's gonna take 5 minutes to take ur shower! I have pixie cut hair and it took me just shy of 15 minutes to shower and that's not shaving or brushing my teethbin the shower either. Read More

Very friendly staff. Great location very close to the entrance of Mesa Verde National Park. Large playground and nice spacing between the sites.

Small campground, but nice spaces - mostly shaded. The view of Mesa Verde is beautiful. The staff was very friendly. We had a propane tank issue and they were very helpful. The kids enjoyed the pool and mini golf.

We stayed over Labor Day Weekend. The town considered this time frame to be off season, but the owners made us feel welcome. The owners suggested place to eat and things to do that were still open for the season. The facilities were nice with a homey woodsy feel.

Nice folks ,aim to please, they just purchased it recently and had done many upgrades. We used a water/elec only pull through site at a reasonable cost .Very close to Mesa Verde, actually a better campground than in the park, we checked it out later on our trip. Would have stayed longer but had to move on.
