Detailed Reviews
We were headed to Mesa Verde and booked a RV site for the night here. The new owners are very nice and helpful. Each site has a grassy area. There was a pool and two hot tubs. Also had miniature golf, a play area for kids and a clubhouse with games and a TV. The bathroom and showers were very clean and they had good laundry facilities. The best part was how close it is to visiting Mesa Verde. Wish we had time to have stayed longer.

While the view of Mesa Verde is very beautiful, dealing with the spiteful owner (Carol) of Ancient Cedars is not worth it. The location is great, but the owners fall far from great. Carol did not allow me and my group to use any of the facilities. We were not allowed to use the laundry, rec room, showers, bathrooms, pool, or golf course. Though Carol wouldn’t allow us to use the facilities, she still expected us to weed her golf course. She is truly a spiteful woman who discriminated our group just because we she serotyped us as typical college students without even getting to know us, my supervisors, or professor. She has a poor attitude and does not treat her customers fairly or right. We tried to get on good terms with her, even inviting her to dinner, but she declined and continued to act in a hateful manner. Ancient Cedars is a great location conveniently located right by Mesa Verde. I wish I could give a few words on the facilities, but we weren’t allowed near them. All I can say is both the pool and golf course and incredibly small and inadequate in size, unless used by one or two children. I would not recommend staying in a tent there. The highway is very close to the tent sites, making it impossible to sleep. In short words, while the location is great, Ancient Cedars could use an owner with a better attitude… and eyebrows.

Thank you for your review, since you didn't know the exact situation. When your professor called us and had lost his campground spot with only 2 days notice, we gave your group a whole section of our resort. His budget only paid for one site, 1 tent, 2 people and 1 car. The rest of the 11 tents 1 tent RV, water/electric, numerous cars and 1 bus, all was done FREE Gratis by us, in the name of education for college students like yourself. This gift was for 2 months. We didn't even want a pat on the back or for this to be public knowledge. The professor stated that the group was totally self contained and would not need any of our facilities. We agreed to these terms. Your professor insisted on a service project. At first we refused, and then he and I came up with pulling some weeds for free golf. The few students that did this once, seemed to have a good time. Our pool is 40' and 3' to 6' deep and is adequate. If you have further concerns please contact your professor or the college administration. Thank you

Great campsite with beautiful views. Very clean and friendly staff. Showers/bathrooms a bit of a walk away, but would definetly recommend.
Great pool and hot tubs and there is even mini golf.
The campsite was very spacious and we got some free wood and has an amazing fire. Thank you ancient cedars!

We absolutely love this RV park. It's perfectly located right across the highway from Mesa Verde and a very short drive from Durango. We have a spectacular view from our coach of the mountains of Mesa Verde. Two playgrounds for our little one and a very nice pool and two hot tubs, as well as an 18 hole miniature golf course. Dale and Carol the owners are very caring and make every effort to ensure we are enjoying our stay. I have no idea what the prior review was thinking or saying because we've had nothing but great interactions with them. We've extended our visit for a another few days and may do so again. The area has so much to offer this is the perfect base camp to enjoy the area. And my husband was extremely happy with the 100+ TV channels to keep up to date during our travels.

So glad that you had a peaceful and relaxing time. We often hear from our customers that they get a good night sleep. Because our RV Resort is off the highway, we have lot's of quiet for all customers. Thanks, again.

The owner is Awesome and so accommodating! She went out pf her way to tell me the story of the bean soup they sell and she made me a homemade mosquito serum.
Park facility's laundry, bathrooms, and pool are super clean. Park is located across from a state park and that was amazing. Super quiet and good size spaces to accommodate large rigs and pull thrus
Will be back!

The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. We had a great spot with spectacular views out of the front window of our RV. Huge dog park for our 3 dogs to play and nice place for walks. Its less than a 1/2 a mile from the park so it was easy to visit several times while we were there.

De campground is gelegen nabij de toegangsweg van het prachtige Mesa Verde. De campground beschikt over alle wenselijke voorzieningen. Zwembad, hottub, winkel, mini golf, laundry en altijd schone restrooms. De plekken zijn groot en voorzien van bomen. Goede uitvalsbasis om Mesa Verde vroeg te bezoeken.

Recently stayed at Ancient Cedars on a family outing to Mesa Verde. The proximity to the park entrance is excellent. Our overall experience in the campground was definitely above average.Restroom and shower facilities were above average for cleanliness and plenty of hot water even in high usage times. Loved the large playground in the center of the park. Spacious and well located. Traveling with smaller children so felt fortunate to be assigned a space bordering this park. It was well used by us :) The pool was clean. Our only gripe in this area was we weren't forewarned about some major pool maintenance happening the day following our check in and felt a little frustrated to find out after we returned from a hot dry day exploring at Mesa Verde that the pool was unavailable for usage.. Realize stuff like this happens just would have liked a heads up. (Grandkids were a little ouchy that evening.Would have been easier if we could have front loaded them) I have noticed the map page on the website needs updating (i.e firewood cost) but does contain alot of info about park rules and regs and would strongly advise everyone to check it outif planning on staying here. Another frustration we encountered was receiving an amended bill as we were about to leave.Our balance paid at check in due to new computer system inadequacies and new employee was not accurate. My advice is to make sure upon check in that everything is correct. We had an extra car charge that was not carried through for the entire visit on the online check in and some extra people charges that were billed incorrectly. Would rather deal with this on arrival than right before we are set to pull out. All in all it's a good place and would stay again.

Thank you for your review and suggestions. We work endlessly to provide a top rate park, its hard work! I understand your wanting to know ahead of time about the pool being closed for one evening. We also wished we would have had notice of a swimming pool leak. After half draining the pool and fixing it, to refill the pool and not to over flow and heat, we were up checking until 5 am...just for our customers. Our local lumber mill recently burned down, so we had to adjust pricing due to a different vender of firewood. So sorry we missed that on our website, we will correct. Wood pricing was corrected on your check-in. Any other issues we honestly try to correct as soon as possible. We want to give our valued customers the best rates we can. Happy camping!!!

This campground is directly across from Mesa Verde Visitors Center and so it is very well situated for exploring the park. Enormous dog park (+) beautiful view (+) parking spots are really close together(-) and the wifi was horrible to nonexistent in the row we were in (-). Ordinarily that wouldn't be such a negative but we specifically asked about the strength of the wifi because we had route planning to accomplish, and were assured it was great. We even went to the office the first night and mentioned it, being reassured it (was working now).

Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your time here. We have a unique park and the right site for every RV or tenter. We could have put you in a larger site on request. We recently upgraded our WIFI bandwidth and the provider had technical issues. We were working behind the scenes to correct that. Please come and visit us again.
