For those of you who don't travel to southern CO often should check out Mesa Verde National Park…read more The location and methods of building by the Native Americans is incredible. This is a seasonal destination so try to come in the summer when the tours are running so you can walk and climb amongst some of the areas.

A wonderful and beautiful park!…read more Mesa Verde means 'green table'. This national park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the best-preserved Ancestral Puebloan ancestral sites in the United States (nps) - it celebrates people. The snowy peaks in the background is San Juan Mountain. We visit multiple Mesa Top Sites, (900-1100, nps). MTS means top archeological sites within this park. We first stop at the Far View Terrace Cafe for bathroom break and also pick up our lady guide; then driving up north, stopping at the PitHouse, ending the tour at the information & research center in early afternoon about 2pm, that includes an hour lunch at Far View Terrace Cafe, with a wonderful view. Two other cafes are the Spruce Tree Terrace Cafe, and the Knife Edge Cafe. The Cliff Palace is impressive. But the tour didn't take us there - only viewed it from afar. I actually bought a mug that changes with heat and a pretty conch bangle from the gift shop. The information center is cool; the museum is ok.

Lynn took my three daughters and I on a beautiful evening ride through ranch and National Forest…read moreland. The setting was lovely, the horses were well-trained, and our guide was informative and friendly. We called the day before to see if there was availability and spoke with Perry. He was able to put us down for a 2-hour ride and informed us that they haven't received their credit card reader yet, so I made sure to have cash. One thing I forgot, and deeply regret, is to have enough for a tip as well. We arrived at their wonderful property shortly before 4:00. Lynn was there to greet us and had our horses ready to go after the waivers were signed. She got us all on a horse and adjusted the stirrups efficiently. She is a no-nonsense lady and I admire that. She gave us a bit of instruction and then off we went! We rode along the road for a little bit before turning onto some land by a picturesque lake. Lynn's sweet dog tagged along and provided a laugh when she ran and jumped into the lake. Shortly after, we made it onto Nation Forest property. With the exception of the road to and from the main property, Lynn took us on a varied path. We rode on dirt road in the forest, then cut through trees, up hills, across a culvert, up some pipeline area, and into meadows and back to the lake. The views were wonderful and the peace of the whole ride spectacular. There was one area of trees that felt particularly peaceful and Lynn turned back to tell me how she loved riding through them just as I was feeling the same. It was my favorite part, as if there was a special energy in that spot. Overall, we had a wonderful ride. Getting off the horse after 2 hours was the hard part; I definitely felt like I was walking like a cowboy. :-) It was a highlight of our trip. Someday, we would like to come back and do a breakfast or dinner ride.

I'd never ridden a horse before and finally got my chance today. It was all I thought it would be…read moreand more. Rode through beautiful varied landscape for over two hours with Gail, an amazing and knowledgeable guide. It was peaceful and the time flew by. I highly recommend Rimrock and look forward to going back!

The lake and mountain views were GORGEOUS. The repairs to the dam are all complete and the water…read morelevels were right to the top. Check-in was easy and the Camp-Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed in "double-rate" site 23 which was all that was available due to our late booking, but the campsite and the ease of access could not have been more perfect. Water and vault toilets were close by. Definitely on our list to return here on future journeys through the San Juans!!

We have been coming to this beautiful lake and campground for over 20 years. We have to make…read morereservations six months in advance to get a site on the lake. The website states that the dam is being worked on and that the lake might not be full. When we arrived today we were horrified to find a mosquito swamp for a lake. We bought out of state fishing licenses that cost more than $100 each only to find that you can't get to water to fish and what's there is stagnant and pungent. We are so disappointed. The federal recreation website needs to state that there's virtually no water in the lake and fishing nor any water activities are absolutely impossible. We are so upset and disappointed after making the reservation six months ago and paying a premium rate for supposedly a lake site.

We had a 2 day stay there and one of the days visited Mesa Verde NP and also visited the Durango…read moreHot Springs that are located across the street, which is the reason why we booked here. Close enough to town and Durango Silverton train. Which passes by the campground. The parts that we did not like was the hook up locations. It seems like they have been done by someone who never had a RV or Travel Trailer. Laundry was listed under inclusions, but it is not included and is 7$ per load which is pricy. Also when booking instead of just a nightly fee they do nightly fee + per person fee for over 2 people, plus if you have 50a , basically pay attention to the fees. ( first time I ever camped at a campground where they did it this way)

We were there for a few days and never saw anyone in the office until I gave 4 days notice telling…read moreher that we would be needing to check out a couple days early. Only then did she appear and wanted to charge me the entire amount since I didn't cancel 14 days in advance. Never heard of this in all my camping days and this was never disclosed prior to booking. We refused and paid her only for the amount of days we stayed. Beware! As mentioned several times in other reviews-the best thing about this campground is the hot springs located directly across the street!

From sipping coffee on the peaceful deck while listening to the cheerful birds, to soaking in the beautiful grounds, every moment here has been a gift.

We can't wait to come back! With gratitude, Vinnie & Cindy

They made you feel super comfortable and the B&B was more than what I was expecting. The grounds were gorgeous with a huge yard. We were fortunate to land the Golden Oak room which was quiet and away from all the other rooms. Additionally this room had views of gorgeous backyard with deer and turkeys in the early morning. Everything was clean and cozy. Breakfast was plenty. Thank you J&W! I will be returning!!
