Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
We have COMPLIMENTARY Wifi, Drinking Water, Ice, Hot Showers, Bathrooms, Shade, and an equipped Camper's Kitchen for our guests to enjoy from April 15 - Oct 15! There are TIPIS, CAMPING CABINS, TENT and BOONDOCK SITES. WE ALSO HAVE A NAVAJO HOGAN (wood yurt) OPEN-YEAR ROUND. All of our sites are not listed here. We can also accommodate groups and small events but not public events. We have a private covered group site as well. 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.

Mesa Verde V1 Campground w/Kitchen+
I loved camping here!! It was so beautiful. Truly gorgeous views. The kitchen was great and the whole area was super cute and fun to hang out in. Ell and Katie were the BEST, super helpful and sweet. I made friends for life! I would 100% stay here again and would recommend it to anyone going through the area.

Chris and the boys loved it!
My boys and I loved camping here. It was a great place for us to unwind and view the sunset and stars. Katie and Elle were the best hosts we had our entire vacation. They helped us with any issues we had and it was great to get to know them. Book it!

Sunrise Small RV site w/Amenities
Fun spot with other campers and a communal area. Showers and bathrooms are separate, but still well kept. My site included electricity, table, and shading, which was ideal with how hot it was while I was there.

Mustang Tipi ~ Facing Mesa Verde!
It was so lovely to sit and watch the sun set while Mesa Verde loomed in the distance. The tipi was cool, my boys loved it, and the entire site was well set up, super easy communication and check-in as well. Great location and nicely ‘secluded’ feeling!
