We stayed at Ancient Cedars RV Resort expecting a premium experience based on many of the positive…read morereviews, but our experience aligned much more closely with the concerns raised in several of the negative reviews. The biggest issue was the overall lack of maintenance throughout the park. The grounds appeared neglected, with overgrown grass and weeds in many areas. The resort advertises dedicated dog areas, but both of our dogs came away covered in stickers and burrs that had to be painstakingly cut out of their fur. We also spoke with other campers whose dogs experienced the same problem. If a park promotes itself as dog-friendly and provides designated dog areas, those spaces should be maintained and kept reasonably free of hazards. What made this more frustrating was that there always seemed to be someone driving around the park with a weed trimmer, yet during our stay we never actually witnessed any meaningful grounds maintenance being performed. The condition of the property suggested that upkeep had been deferred for quite some time. Site spacing was another disappointment. The sites felt extremely cramped. The rig behind us was positioned so close that their patio area essentially backed up to our utilities. At one point, a neighboring camper accidentally stepped on our sewer hose because of how little separation existed between sites. We also paid for what was advertised as a "premium" site. In reality, it was located directly on a dusty road with a clear view of the campground dump station. That is not what most RVers would reasonably expect when paying extra for a premium site. After reading the reviews again following our stay, I find myself wondering how representative some of the glowing reviews really are. The maintenance issues, cramped sites, and questionable premium-site location were not isolated observations and seem consistent with concerns raised by multiple other reviewers. While the location near Mesa Verde is convenient, the resort itself did not deliver the quality or level of upkeep that its marketing and many of its highest-rated reviews would suggest. Unfortunately, based on our experience, we would not stay here again

WiFi paid for the site, and it supported our Zoom meetings, could stream without any problems, and was the most reliable. The sites are uneven, but they came out and added some more gravel to help with mud and some holes. I was VERY thankful for the support! It is so convenient that you are so close to the park. In the evening, we went in and watched the sunset since we worked remotely during the weekdays. It was a little worn out in the laundry room, but it did the job as expected. There is no doubt that I would stay here again in the future.

There are things to enjoy both inside and outside on the property, making it easy to relax and unwind without having to go anywhere. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, charming and welcoming place to stay.

We were supposed to have an upstairs room with private bath, but that changed somehow when we arrived. We stayed in the downstairs section, which has several other bedrooms and one shared bathroom and kitchen and living area. Luckily no other guests were staying at that time, so we had it all to ourselves, and it worked out great. Bedrooms and bathroom were extremely clean and neat. Beautiful lot with large patios upstairs and downstairs that are oh-so peaceful!! Spent lots of time talking with Bob, and he was very accommodating and easy-going. I loved having breakfast in their cozy and bright dining area near the kitchen overlooking the mountains and watching numerous hummingbirds come to feed on their upper patio (felt like we were Bob's personal guests). Bob was also so kind to let our dog, LeLa (who is well-behaved) stay in the dining room with us while we had breakfast. We did not see much of Ursula (his wife) as she had to work during the days that we were there, but our brief meeting with her was very pleasant! We highly recommend this place!!!

Adorable little place. We did a motel room with one queen bed. They allow dogs (which was what we…read moreneeded) but the grounds were still clean. It's right on the river so we enjoyed the water front patio at night and early morning (fishing).

This was by far the WORST stay I've ever had in any motel across the country. The person running…read morethe desk, John, was absolutely wasted drunk and inexcusably horrible to me. All I wanted was to point out our window latch was broken when we checked into our room. Out of nowhere and without provocation, he starts using profanity at me and yelling and screaming and cussing and name calling saying that "you're a p**sy for bringing that up" I told him it wasn't a big deal. But he wanted to kick me out over it. When I told him never mind and start walking away from him, he yells at me in the parking lot "F*** YOU P***SY!" The sheriff and cops were called as he started threatening me over literally nothing. The other motel staff protected us with a baseball bat to make sure he wouldn't hurt us as we were packing up to leave. He was black out drunk and should not even be working in that state. I can't believe the owner would let someone like him run the motel. I still have a sick feeling in my stomach over it. I hope John is fired and banned from Dolores. I want to thank Kathleen and the other nice lady and gentlemen who helped to keep us safe and protected from John. Lana, if you are reading this. FIRE JOHN NOW

August 14-16 2026 - Dolores, CO…read more I booked what was listed on the website as a "riverfront" RV site, so I was disappointed to arrive and discover that our site was actually next to a pond--not the river. And unfortunately, pondfront also meant "mosquito central" The RV park itself is nice enough, quiet, and our particular site was pleasant (aside from the whole "riverfront" issue and the mosquitos). But if a site is advertised as riverfront, I think guests should reasonably expect to actually be on the river. We also happened to be parked next to the property adjacent to the RV park, where some kind of pump ran continuously. It wasn't terribly loud, but it was noticeable and took away from the otherwise peaceful setting. The river itself was another disappointment, although that's certainly not the park's fault. Due to this year's rain and runoff, the river was a muddy brown rather than the beautiful river I had expected. I'm not sure whether that's typical for August or simply a result of this year's weather. On the plus side, the park was clean and well maintained, the restrooms were clean, the staff was friendly, and the surrounding mountain views were beautiful. Overall, it's a nice, quiet RV park--but if you're specifically booking a "riverfront" site, I'd recommend confirming exactly what you're getting before you arrive.
