We got a great site at this campground, very private, trees, we had a small open bluff where mule deer would come through for a walk and chew.

The campground staff were so friendly, which made me wish we had spent more time at the park.

The sites at the park are a really neat attraction for adults and I think kids could enjoy themselves as well.

Shower and bathrooms show their age, but then, if that is a concern, a hotel may be a better choice.

This is what a National Park campgound should be. Friendly staff, large site, full hookups and abundant wild life. Although we had to make a short hike to showers, they were clean and plentiful. An out of the way destination, Mesa Verde and the surrounding area is WELL worth the drive. We hope to come back again.

The location inside Mesa Verde NP was convenient for seeing the sights, and breathtakingly beautiful in its own right. However, the design of this campground is a bit odd. The sites are kind of small, with only a few big enough to accommodate a family size tent and a sun shelter, and natural shading is lacking. There is also a lack of trails connecting different portions of the campground, so it becomes necessary to drive to amenities like the amphitheater and camp store.

We spent two nights here as we ventured around Utah, Arizona and Colorado. Out of the three places we stayed this was the dirtiest bathroom wise and least updated. We were camping in a tent on Anasazi path. The bathrooms by us had no hot water and were often dirty and lacked toilet paper. The showers were fine if you waited until later at night but my mom who was with us who took a shower in the morning found them really dirty with doors that didn't lock and a broken showerhead. Because we were camping we didn't expect things to be "perfection" and we most certainly got by, however for how much we paid it seemed like the company that runs the campground could have done a better job keeping the facilities clean. The pancake breakfast that they offer is nice but was pretty pricey for what you received however the distance from Mesa Verde to Cortez makes it impossible to just run down and get breakfast so be prepared!
