A beautiful spot to stop and rest, I finally learned how to car camp in a campground! The campground host Blaine is a beautiful human being with lovely vibes and keeps this spot clean and welcoming.
This place clean and close to, well Mancos, but it's got the friendliest camp host I've ever met. Went out of his way to accommodate my short stay. $22 per night is probably why the place was empty. But gosh dang I liked that camp host, so nice and communicative and helpful.
Great campground, I was impressed enough to leave a review. The parking spots are gravel but graded and neat. The tent pads are wide and smooth. The vault toilets were cleaned daily by the friendly campground host. Definitely worth a visit. Attached photos of my site and one nearby.
