During the initial days of May, we lodged at the Pine Campground, positioned within Navajo Lake State Park, specifically at pitch number 71. The panorama from our site was breathtaking, encompassing the entirety of Navajo Lake, the marina, and a path that led directly to the lake. Our pitch was flat and came equipped with a concrete slab, 30 amp electric hookup, water supply, a picnic table under a shelter, and a fire pit. The washroom facilities, which were clean and well-kept, were conveniently close by and offered complimentary warm showers. Garbage bins were situated at the loop entrance. Our pitch received decent Verizon coverage, with four bars of service. The campground's proximity to the awe-inspiring Aztec Ruins was the main reason for our selection. We eagerly anticipate a lengthier stay at this ideal camping location in the future.

Poorly run. No customer service. No security. People partying till 1am. No cell service or internet as advertised. Internet has been broken for a while. Was planning on staying 7 nights. There arent any phone numbers to call anyone. Aramark corporate needs to replace management and a few employees. Moved to Ancient Cedars. Much nicer place.

On arrival no full hook up left but once paid you choose your own site. Lets just say good luck with a travel trailer trying to find a site that is long enough ( we are only 20”) and level. Because of rain the ground was very boggy. Not much to do in site. Hiked up point look out for sunset which was nice. Great views. The campsite could use a bit a of work. But if you are only here for mesa verde it doesn’t matter much about site. FYI. Book tours ahead of time as you won’t get in same day

This is a beautiful campground with very wide spread out sites, vault toilets, and water (hand pump). All sites have a picnic table and a fire ring, about half of them have also a pagoda.It's next to the Dolores river. It also has a day use area with a boat ramp. The fee for one night is $8 ($4 with lifetime senior pass and possibly other passes). When I was there in September 2022 the place was almost empty. I will go back there when I'm again in the area. To get there you have to drive about 6 miles from US 491 (going from Cortez, CO to Monticello, UT) on very well maintained dirt roads.

This is our 3rd stay here, this time we were in Hopi Loop close to the entrance of the loop. This is a dry camping loop so we chose this site to utilize our solar, we were also close to the WiFi repeater. We did use the campground WiFi on occasion but also we’re able to get 1-3 Mgbts on our T-Mobile Hot Spot.

Stayed here for 4 days and had a pleasant stay. We had partial hookups which was on the upper area that included a small river stream that was lovely to hear sitting outside. Close to city area which is very convenient. Trolly bus stop is also close which takes you downtown if you don’t want to drive.

We stayed here in early July, staff did a great job at check-in. The site was fairly level, and we had water/electric hookup. Fair distance between sites as well, though our area had no foilage for privacy (many do). Showers up near camp store (too far to hike to) were clean and had good hot water. Our biggest disappointment was the bathrooms at the campsites, while having flush toilets and sinks, had no soap, hand sanitizer, nor any way to dry your hands. For all the concern about spreading germs (Visitor Center closed, etc) we were surprised to have no soap to wash your hands after using the toilet. One other thing; the campground is run by a vendor (Aramark) and you cannot apply a Park Pass discount when you make reservations via the internet. We found out (we modified our campsite at check-in) that the Senior Park Pass could be applied if you made reservations via phone, or in person.

Hard to imagine mor cars parked in a smaller space except perhaps at a Walmart. Crowed and sterile. Barely out of Durango so ok if the city is your destination. If you are looking for a pleasant outdoor environment, keep looking. Clean enough but sterile. Constant highway noise which might be better at another location within the park.

The Morefield campground is located on a hillside in a series of loops with back-in parking. Our loop had full hookups which was a welcome feature. The sites are fairly level but may require assistance to make it perfect. Sites are separated by foliage which affords some shade and privacy. We found our site to be quiet and scenic. The deer who visited in the evening also enjoyed the tranquility. Cell coverage at the site was minimal with our booster but quite good near the General Store/laundry/gas station nearby. There are showers/restroom facilities down the hill from the campsite but we did not try them. Of course the main attraction here is the park itself. Amazing history and terrain to explore. This is a great place to stay while enjoying Mesa Verde National Park.

Our stay at Morefield was amazing. The site was mostly level. We were the only campers on our half of the loop the first two nights. Within walking distance of hiking trails. Deer frequented our area. Clean bathrooms located nearby. There is little to no shade. The showers are not within walking distance of most sites. An awesome base camp to experience Mesa Verde. Wi-Fi was very spotty and phones did not work.

The staff were friendly and helpful. We couldn’t get level in our spot (our fault for not having leveling blocks) and they moved us to another site. Close to town, but still felt secluded. My only critique is that there wasn’t a place to walk our dog besides the RV park. The river is nearby, but there is no access. There is a beautiful tent camping area, but dogs are not allowed. We didn’t use laundry or bathroom facilities so I can’t rate those.

The park itself is great. Lots to do and great fishing in the San Juan river. We stayed at Juniper camp ground at site J139. It took about 30 min to maneuver in but finally made it with zero scratches. I have a 38’ toy hauler. There aren’t very many sites at Juniper that can accommodate a rig this big. Plus exiting was also a challenge. From this site it’s not easy getting down to the lake as it’s a steep hike down. There are no hook ups at this site but no problem for us. Three bars AT&T and three bars Verizon.

This is a nice, well-maintained campground in a pretty setting. Easy access from Route 550 with good signage. Checkin was efficient. The owners are super nice and hard-working. The roads and sites are crushed stone. Roads are easy to navigate for big rigs and were watered daily during our stay. The RV sites are a good size with a picnic table. There are mature trees for shade at many sites. The tent sites are grassy and shaded, and beyond are green fields, the river, and red cliffs. Although the campground is near the highway, there is no bothersome road noise since the campground is set downhill from the road. There is a trolley that runs on a regular schedule to downtown Durango. Utilities all worked as expected. No trouble getting level. Good T-mobile signal and WiFi. The laundry was clean and well provisioned. The Durango & Silverton RR passes by a couple times a day (not at night). This is our second stay and we’ll be back next year!

Fortunately we got here early with our 40' 5er - not many spots for big rigs. They take reservations for dry camping but not for particular spots - the spots are FF. There is a loop with full hook ups but we could not get a spot there. Bath house in our loop was very clean - toilet and sink only. The showers are by the general store/laundry/check in area. The ride into and up to the campground is not for the feint of heart - very windy and steep. No T-Mobile service, we got spotty wi-fi on our AT&T router. There are two dump stations with potable water. Beautiful view of the mountains on all sides Unhook and take a day trip to the cliff dwellings within the park. Lots of hiking opportunities as well! The need to do some branch trimming and hole filling on the corners. Will definitely be back.

We love that this campground is in the Mesa verde park. Spaces are spread apart so you never seem crowded. We were there in May so the park was quiet and the weather cool. Hookups at the site were good. Some sites are shaded but ours was not. There is a camp store and a cafe serving breakfast every morning but we didn’t use it. Camp showers were adequate according to my hubby. I used our rv shower. I didn’t expect the Wi-Fi to be any good but it was fairly good in the daytime, not so good at night. We would definitely stay here again.

We are here about 15 days or so before the campground officially opens up for the spring/summer. We haven't even explored the park yet but this off season stuff is awesome. The wifi eminates from the bathrooms and even though we are about 100 yards away from it, the wife is using it for zoom meetings now. About 10mb down and 2 up. I'm also getting enough AT&T to stream YouTube tv in 480p, using a mifi hotspot and small stick to window type antenna. I read where most don't get any reception and maybe because the leaves aren't out on the trees yet, but AT&T with antenna is working good. I also imagine the wifi may possibly be slow during the season when many people are using it. Anyway, again amazing campground just before the season! Bathroom heated and clean. About 10 campers here. Only Zulu (something like that) is open but probably at least 50 sites. About 20 or so for 35ft rigs or less. I wouldn't do this off season in a 40ft fifth wheel, but class a's would be doable.

We use this campground regularly during the spring and fall. It's clean and quiet. No cell service though. we drive out turn right then left and park by big metal building to get our internet business done.

Off season (early Oct) there is not much on offer here and only one loop of the massive campground was open, and all sites got taken by dusk. No hookups, no dump available, no water available. Dry camping and an older looking restroom bldg we didn't enter. Bit of a hike to throw out the trash before bed. But it's in the park and despite less than ideal right site right along roadside, it was quiet and usable once we leveled. No Verizon signal at campsite but intermittent along MV roads and slow wifi at welcome center.

We enjoyed our stay here. The park is very clean and our site was spacious. Beautiful views down the valley and the Durango-Silverton Steam Train runs thru camp 3 times a day. So cool to hear the train whistle and wave to all the passengers. The only downside is that our cell signal was very weak, even with our booster, which made it difficult to work. If we return to the area and do not have to work, this will be the place we stay.

Spent only 1 night. Wish it was more. Amazing spread out sites. Clean, but can't vouch for toilets as didn't use. The Delores River was crystal clear and gorgeous with deep enough spots for a nice dip if you aren't from Arizona & can handle cold water, LOL! Sites have Ramadas over the tables but few trees. I think my site #6 is best as it is right on River & has nice tree shade. see pic. I had 4g 1 bar Verizon, outside my AS. Inside AS with cell booster took it to 4g 4 bar. cell service must have improved since last reviewer in 2019. No trash pick up here so please take yours out. Seems most folks do. But, why oh why must some leave their metal wire marshmallow sticks behind? Jerks! The road in becomes gravel & is dusty but very navigable and no washboard as well as a short drive. All sites are large and, mine at least was level. Enjoy!

This is a very nice place and is maintained wonderfully. The spots are mostly level and not a big deal to level out. It is a little tight but not horrible and we were easily able to pull into our spot with our 39 foot fifth wheel. The check-in staff lady was very friendly and answered my questions. Having the train run through the campground is awesome and everyone waves as it goes by! We did the full day excursion and it was wonderful. Durango is a great little town to visit. We took the trolly into town and it costs $1 or $.50 for seniors. There is a great app for your phone so you can see where the trollys are. Verizon coverage was not good. I did put up our 25ft Cell Phone antenna and the got us from 1 bar to 2-3 bars, so it was usable and was able to stream a college football game. The in-park WIFI was ok, but slow during busy times, which they all are, so no surprise. I am sure if we return to Durango, this is where we will stay!

The campground is clean and shaded nicely. facilities are good enough but not remarkable. The cell service and WiFi are non-existent to dodgy at beSt. The narrow gauge train passes a few times per day, which is good or bad depending on what you like. The campground is really close to the highway and comes with all the associated noise from that. All the staff is super nice though.

Most Rv sites have abundant shade, our site was well spaced. We stayed for 6 nights, Durango/Silverton historic steam RR goes by a few times a day! About 2 or 3 miles to downtown Durango

We were supposed to be in Mesa Verde for 2 nights, but only stayed 1 due to some truck problems. I called and let them know we were not cancelling but we’re going to miss the 1st night, they thankfully didn’t charge me for the 2nd night which was very nice of them. We had the ONLY full hook up site in the Pueblo tent loop which was kind of weird. We are very experienced RVers and had the hardest time leveling our camper. Besides that, we enjoyed seeing all the deer.

Beautiful setting but the park is showing it’s age. The RV sites are small, my 28 ft 5th wheel stuck into the street. Sites along the water are scenic, all the other sites are not! Not worth the out of the way drive IMO.

Full hook-ups. Sites are crushed gravel, and reasonably level. Close to each other, but not too tight. Many of the sites are in wonderful shade under massive trees, but there are some that are more exposed to open sunlight. The tradeoff is that the sites with less shade have a much better view of the train as it goes by, and quickest access to the grassy area for dog walking. Our power and water pedestal was shared with the site next to us; everything in great working order. Warning: there was a SLIGHT taste to our water, but we aren't sure if that was the campground, or the new hose we were using. Quiet times were respected by all. It would be helpful if the reservations clerk could let campers know that there are TWO ways to enter the campground off Hwy 550. Depending on the size of your rig, one of the entrances might be easier than the other. Check-in went smoothly; the staff at this park are still (as of June 13, 2021) being very cautious and careful about COVID protocols - we were asked to wear masks in the office/store. (NOT a problem for us, but took some other folks from other, more "open" states by surprise.) My only "criticism" is more of a suggestion for future improvements. This campground could be greatly enhanced by making the grassy area between the lower sites and the railroad tracks into a fenced dog park. The choices of places to walk and exercise your dog there in the park are rather limited, and unless you stick to that grassy area, you either have to go up out of the campground onto the street and walk along the edge (scary and not safe!), or just keep circling around the edges of the park. But the large grassy area between the sites and the tracks, if fenced and set up properly, would provide a SPLENDID dog area! BTW, Durango does have a wonderful dog park near the intersection of Hwy 150 and 660 - lots of trails to explore, the river to splash in, and space to run and run! Best to go early in the day during summer months because it can get really hot. AND, the locals know that the best access and parking is actually at the far end of the Holiday Inn Express parking lot! One of our favorite things about this campground is that you get to experience the Durango Narrow Gauge train several times a day! The train track LITERALLY runs past the campground, and each time it comes through, you have a wonderful opportunity to watch the train go by. The loud train whistle can be startling, but watching a steam engine travel past is such a fun experience, and part of what makes Durango so memorable!

This is a very nice camp right in the national park. It is dry camping with sites that have varying depths. When you make a reservation, you don't book a specific site, so when you arrive, you need to cruise the loops and find "the one" that you think is most attractive. There were many nice sites to choose from when we arrived. We have a 24' class C and there were many open sites that would have fit our unit. If you have a travel trailer or longer class C, it may be challenging to find a workable site. A full sized 5th wheel or Class A, probably would not fit anywhere. A water spigot was available at the bathrooms. There is also wifi emanating from the bathrooms. We were ~150 ft from one bathroom, and the Wifi was very useable for light browsing. There are 3 nice hiking trails leaving from the campground. Two of them climb the surrounding hills and give you fantastic 360 views of the surrounding area. The real draw to the park are the ancient Pueblo sites. The Step House site on the Wetherill Mesa is the only one that was open to the public, without a special tour. Try to book a tour to see whatever House is open for tours when you are there. We were able to get a tour of the Longhouse on Wetherill Mesa. The tours are only $8, however, it is very tough to book them, as they go incredibly fast. I got on the NPS website slightly early and put the desire timeslot tour tickets in my "Cart", however, by the time I was able to checkout, they were "sold out", I changed timeslots and was able to grab tickets on the last tour of the day. I would say that all tickets were gone in ~20 seconds, after they were opened to order. The Museum was closed due to Covid when we were there.

Arrived Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and this place was a zoo. Every site was full with so many huge rigs and big boats that the campground was bursting at the seams. By Monday afternoon the campground was 2/3 empty and much more pleasant. Our site was near the top of a hill overlooking the marina, among juniper trees that afforded some privacy. Other sites were basically just wide open parking spaces, so thoughtful site selection is important here. Not sure we’d rush back if our friends didn’t have a boat. The location is convenient to Aztec Ruins and Salmon Ruins, but getting to this state park from anyplace else is a lengthy drive. Note: as of June 1, 2021, showers are still closed due to COVID. Won’t be surprised if cash-strapped New Mexico “forgets” to restore many of these amenities for quite some time…

Very clean and quiet campground. We traveled with 2 grandsons. Pool was perfect. I like the upper part under the shady trees better than the pull through with the big rigs. Beautiful view of the river and mountains. The only negative is that the sites are really close together. Biked to town with 10 year old grandson which was very doable. WiFi works fine. It’s so much fun to see the train come through. I suggest to add umbrellas by the pool as there is no shade.

Went to the main store when we arrived at Mesa Verda, and was surprised that there were so many sites available on a Saturday in mid-May. Most other national parks are sold out months out. There are three main loops: tent campers (RVs OK but no generators), RV with hookups, and RV dry camping. There were no sites in the RV sites with hookups, so we went to the "Hopi" loop (RV dry camping). Sites are on the small side (typical of NPS sites designed in the 1960's), a bit more closely spaced than I would have expected, and not very level. But they had picnic tables and a fire pit, and ours was surrounded on two sides by scrub oak. But lots of sites to choose from, and if you're visiting Mesa Verde, this was far more convenient and than nearby US Forest Service sites. Only down side was the number of generators. Our neighbor across the road was running a loud one from 7 am to 10 pm. Lots of others, too, though not as long or loud.

This is a very nice campground. It’s adjacent to Rt. 550, so it’s easy to access, but since the campground is set down from the highway there’s no road noise. Pretty views of mountains and pastures. The Durango Steam Train goes by a couple of times a day. It’s fun to watch it go by and wave. The train doesn’t run at night so no problem with it interrupting sleep. Close to downtown Durango and the Animas River walk/bike trail. Staff is friendly and check-in went smoothly. Interior roads are crushed stone and level. The corners are tight, but do-able with care in our 40 foot motorhome. Sites are a decent size with a crushed stone landing pad and grassy area with a picnic table. There are mature trees for shade. The park is very well maintained. We had a full hook up pull through site. Water, sewer, and electric worked with no issues. WiFi was good. T-mobile was weak but useable. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be back next spring.
