We've been here twice--last year, also for Memorial Day weekend, and this year. Last year things…read morewere great. We missed the Duck Races, but enjoyed pool, mini-golf, and pickleball. We skipped the food, having brought our own "camping" fare to eat and the kids wouldn't let us miss roasting hot dogs. We got their propane fire pit--I believe it's $25 for the pit and a full tank of propane. Nothing horribly special about it, but we enjoyed sitting around it and cooking hotdogs and marshmallows. There's no wood fire allows for safety reasons, so this made a great 2nd place. The folks there were very nice. They check you in and lead you to your spot and help you get you larger campers in if you need the help. We didn't have to leave the vehicle. The campground was clean and they were on top of all issues right away. They seemed like a group of friends or family taking care of their own property. We had a great time. This year we returned and things seemed more streamlined. Check in was quicker, they checked on us to make sure we were satisfied, everyone was very friendly. The pool was open--while not an Olympic sized pool, there was plenty of room for about a dozen kids and adults to be playing games and splashing around while many more (including myself) sat around the side of the pool in provided lounge chairs. We were told they were bought by a new group, and this group made some positive changes. First they started carrying a new pizza (Hunt Brothers, I think?) and for 12 bucks you get a pizza with as many toppings as you want with no extra charge--only charge is extra cheese. They were made quickly and delivered to our camp site. They also have a breakfast area with standard breakfast fare, as well as a pie/icecream shop in the main office. They have tent camping, Pull-through, Cabins, and big rig RV parking. Anything you need is available on site. They have laundry and showers, water, propane, and of course all the hookups you need. The new business that owns them seems to want to keep what worked and improve what needed improvement. They actually asked us how things were, what we thought about the changes (they knew we were there the previous year) and asked for suggestions on improvements. This wasn't the kind of corporate buyout where they try to streamline and skimp on everything, maximizing profits while running the business into the ground. Either the new owners genuinely care, or they put people in charge that genuinely care, and give them the authority to fix things. The only employee whose name we remember was Deborah, and she was very friendly and really peppy. She also happened to be the female employee mentioned below. The best part was during the duck races (an event we're told they hold on holidays where you can "buy" a numbered rubber ducky to race down the creek with everyone else's--the money goes to local charities--they said this time was the local Humane Society) Deborah was dancing around, quacking and flapping her "wings" getting everyone else involved while cheering on their own ducks. The race may have only lasted a couple of minutes, but it was a blast. You did not have to buy in to watch--and the ducks go fast! We sent our daughter to buy a few and were told they were already sold out! Pickleball was hard to get ahold of this year--the campgrounds weren't full, but there were some larger families that were quicker than us. We were able to get pool easily. They also put on movies outdoors (though covered). While we were there, they were all kid-friendly movies. I only remember one night was Finding Nemo. We plan on checking out one of their large cabins next year with more family.

(1) Clean, quiet and well-maintained park with great amenities is what you will find here along with a very friendly staff. (2) We live in the age of WIFI technology and there is nothing to stop any RV Park across this country from investing in doing WIFI properly. For some users such as ourselves, WIFI is an important feature and was one of the reasons for our stay here. We were told both by email and phone that each site had a good wifi signal. The wifi in and around our site was just about non-existent. We were in direct sight of two wifi towers, but still couldn't get a decent connection, even at 5am. Other guests we spoke with also had non-existent wifi! We know enough not to count on a good signal over the weekends, but during the weekday there is no excuse. We even had the WIFI-Ranger on our roof with a direct-line-of-sight to their wifi source. (3) Level pads, big coaches need paved or thick gravel pads that are level. We give this park a 5-star rating for having level gravel sites. (4) Maneuverability, some parks have very narrow roads which make backing up and turning very difficult, we found this park to have plenty of room to maneuver. (5) Dust, some parks are so dusty that even after short stays your unit needs a bath, this place is very dusty compared to many other parks, no grass here. (6) Satellite, as you know satellite reception is very hard to receive when you have large trees. If you stay away from the sites with the tall trees to the south you will receive reception. (7) Phone Service, we have AT&T which worked great here. (8) Dog play and potty, plenty of room to walk your dog here, plus there are two fenced-in dog runs. The Bad.... We had a pull-thru site but could not attach our tow car until after we pulled out. Our site was very long but there was not enough room to pull out of our site without having to back up. Maneuverability with a smaller coach and tow car might be possible.

August 19, 2026 - Durango, CO…read more We enjoyed our stay at Durango Ranch RV Resort. The sites are gravel and very level, with plenty of room, a nice patch of grass, and a picnic table. This small RV park is exceptionally clean and well maintained, and there are so many thoughtful little touches that you can tell this place is truly a labor of love. There's a covered gathering area with a gas barbecue and plenty of comfortable seating, a hot tub with its own seating area, and another cozy seating area nearby. There are lots of spots around the park where you can simply sit, relax, and enjoy the surroundings. The bathroom and shower were spotless and beautifully decorated. The shower stall is generously sized and even has a shower chair for anyone who needs one. Such a thoughtful touch. Our pup also loved the dog parks. And I mean parks--there are actually two: Big Paws Dog Park and Small Paws Dog Park. They even provide balls and a frisbee for guests to use. The resort is about 7 miles outside Durango, which we really liked because you're away from the hustle and bustle of town. Highway 550 runs right alongside the park, so if you're sensitive to road noise, I'd recommend requesting a site toward the back, as far from the highway as possible. That said, traffic was very light at night, so it wasn't an issue for us. It was unusually warm during our stay, and we did wish there were large shade trees around the sites. But the weather was unseasonably hot, so I suspect that's not usually much of an issue. Overall, this is a lovely, well-cared-for RV resort with lots of thoughtful touches. We'd definitely stay here again!

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.

With all the years that I have been enjoying the outdoors, I have come to the realization that…read morethere are essentially two types of camping - staying in a place of natural beauty unto itself, to enjoy the location where you set up your tent or parked your trailer - staying in a location that is a place to set up your tent or park your trailer, as a base of operations from which to travel to nearby natural beauty or wonder. Ancient Cedars RV park probably falls into the second category, although it offers amenities and features that are superior to lots of other RV parks, KOAs, and the like. For one thing, just about every site has a beautiful view of Mesa Verde National Park's celebrated geography... as a matter of fact, you really can't get much closer to the park without camping inside of it. One minute drive from Ancient Cedars and you're in the park! Despite being pretty close to our neighbors, our site had full hook ups, shade from a well-placed tree, a picnic table, and enough room to set up our trailer and park our truck. Easy pull through sites for all sized trailers and campers. Larger sites for humongous rolling houses and such did not have trees, but those would just get in your way, right? The front desk staff was extremely kind and friendly, the price was not astronomical, and we were not packed in like sardines, as we have been at a few other private RV park locations. The swimming pool, hot tub, and 18 hole miniature golf course were all enjoyed by the kids, as well as the game room with foosball, a billiards table, and a few other things. The front office area has a small mini mart for those essentials you forgot, and code entry restrooms and showers. The park is next to a horse property, and at night, the friendly horses come over to the fence to the delight of kids and grown ups alike. I also thought it was thoughtful that one of the rules is all external lights on campers need to be turned off at night, so visitors can enjoy the dark sky and view of the stars. At least, when the monsoon clouds aren't blocking the view. Overall, this was a great last stop on our month-long cross country road trip. Worth checking out, and hope to visit again.
