Came back here, Name Changed To Bright Star & It’s such a great property where campsites are spread out. Great amenities even drinking water & ice were Included. They have these “camping cabins” pretty inexpensive, tent sites and these new Tipis now. I saw a couple options for a few RV’s but it’s not an RV Park. Their kitchen is great, just bring your food, cook, eat, clean up.. everything provided but the food.. even spices. It’s a much better deal & better location than even the campground in Mesa Verde Nat’l Park.

Looks right up at Mesa Verde! Laid back campground!

Looks right up at Mesa Verde! Laid back campground! They have some cabins (private or hostal bunks), RV partial hookup sites or boondock, tent sites & a Hogan round tiny house w/ fireplace & it’s own clean outhouse, and little solar generator & mini pump sink. There are showers, a community kitchen stocked with supplies to use, ice for $2, and more. You have to book on Airbnb or Hipcamp. Everyone loves it when reading reviews. I think it’s going to have more upgrades in 2022 & 2023 and be pet friendly.
It’s cannabis friendly so no kids are there. The spaces, showers, etc are clean! Oh, also good wifi and bring a flashlight. They might sell them & snacks, etc in their little store.

This is, essentially, boon-docking, but with amenities.
Jen and Burt met me at the gate and escorted me to my spot. We had a great chat and I could tell they are genuinely passionate about what they are doing here.
On the property, is a large, really relaxing kitchen structure, along with other out-buildings that include a large semi enclosed common area, Men's and Women's showers with on-demand HWH, rest rooms, dorm style and private cabins. There is even a mini store that sells artisan crafts and snacks.
This camp is 4/20 friendly, and guests are always mindful and conscientious of other campers privacy and space.
To keep with the dark sky and a quiet, natural experience, generators are not allowed. Also, I didn't use my exterior illumination, just to keep in step.
Verdict:::
Unique - Secure - Peaceful - A lot of space - Un-intrusive - Views in every direction.
