Weekend Trip to Bright Star Campground

We loved our stay here. Robin and Troy are good people, very friendly and helpful. The location is unique, close to town yet quiet with great views. We shy away from packed RV parks so Bright Star was a natural choice.

6 nights at Bright Star Campground

Great amenities and communal set up! I uploaded a 3 min YouTube about this location highlighting what’s available and introducing the host, Robin titled ‘Bright Star Campground | Hipcamp near Cortez, Colorado (4 Corners Region)’ @caleblivesoutside.

1 night at Bright Star Campground

Robin had everything that we needed when we got there. She made sure I had the directions that I needed. It was a perfect spot that was quite & out of the city.

2 nights at Bright Star Campground

A very beautiful and quiet spot with Mountain View’s and Mesa Verde views. Sunsets and sun rises were absolutely stunning! Hosts were very accommodating! They brought us firewood and were very informative about the area, but they also kept their distance, making the stay feel very secure and private! Highly recommend!

1 night at Camping in the Mesas

Campsite was clean, quiet and comfortable. I made the mistake of going when it snowed. But other than that, I had a great time.

Bright Star Campground: Once used as a church camp, it is now a Campground for all to enjoy! We are a perfectly located vacation campground on 40 acres with amenities and wide-open spaces. Amenities include hot showers, an equipped community kitchen, a pavilion with hammocks, tables, ping pong, etc. Enjoy complimentary coffee, eggs, filtered drinking water and more. Bright Star Campground is located in the Great Sage Plain in the shadow of Mesa Verde National Park with panoramic mountain/mesa views of the Four Corners region, all only 5 miles southeast of Cortez. We are in an arid desert climate. Water is scarce, stored in cisterns for use in camp. Because of this we ask that you be conservative with water use in camp. We are a cannabis-friendly destination but ask that Cannabis use stay at your campsite, cabin or tipi. There are many things to do/see nearby: Mesa Verde National Park, Canyons of the Ancients, Hovenweep National Monument and Phil's World Mountain Biking. Raft down the Dolores river, maybe rent a SUP or kayak and chill on a quiet reservoir. There are museums and cultural centers in the area as well. Durango is 45 min, Telluride is 1.5 hrs away, and Moab is about 2.5 hours away-including Arches and Canyonlands National parks. The best/nearest airport is in Durango. Cortez has Denver Air (Key Lime Air) with connections to Denver and Phoenix. The nearest large international airport is in Salt Lake City or Albuquerque.

This land was inhabited by the Ancient Anasazi and Pueblo people. The Anasazi Heritage Museum and archeological ruins are two miles away. There are ruins and sites on this land that have yet to be excavated. Many different ancient people came through this land, left and sites were inhabited by other people. One group of people would come and build upon the sites of another group, and taking part of their culture with them.
