All you need to do is put a comment below in this video of what your favorite RV tip is.
And remember it doesn't have to be anything specific.
But it does have to be your favorite RV tip. -Yes.
So I think a huge concern for all of us when we get out here.
And visit other places is that there is just so much to see. And how do you see it all...
with the little time that we have.
-So what we're telling you guys is Cortez, Colorado.
The location of it we feel is ideal. -Yes.
-If you are a person that wants to have one place to set up camp.
And then take day trips to places.
There are so many places surrounding Cortez.
That you are interested in probably visiting like Four Corners.
Mesa Verde National Park. Silverton. Ouray. Telluride. Durango. San Juan National Forest.
-Goodness. -Yes. So what...-It's there. -Yeah. So.. So take it from us.
Find one place to stay for maybe one week, two weeks.
And then you could see all these places within driving distance.
So I know what you're thinking. Where are they right now? It looks so beautiful.
We're gonna share that with you.
We're gonna let you know some details of where we decided to set up camp.
While we visited some amazing places around here.
But first. Let's take you through a tour of Mesa Verde National Park.
(music)
(wind blowing)
(music)
-All right guys. So as promised.
We are bringing you the spot you're gonna want to stay in the surrounding area of Cortez, Colorado.
Do you guys have your pen and paper out? Because seriously. write this one down.
We're talking about Echo Basin RV park.
-This place is super super awesome. -Yes.
-Let me just give you a little backstory.
We were looking for a place closer to Durango. -Yeah.
-And we saw the prices of a lot of the places. And we were like wow.
So we decided to backtrack a little bit towards Cortez.
And we found this amazing RV park through the AllStays Pro program.
-So guys, Echo Basin sits right at that pivotal point of everywhere surrounding.
You're talking a 15-minute drive to Mesa Verde.
A 20-minute drive to Cortez.
A 30-minute drive to Durango.
It's all here.
-Guys. The price to stay here was so worth it.
You get so many amenities for the price.
But you're in the mountains so you get to see wildlife.
Every morning and every evening there was tons of deer.
-So from our experience guys. A huge plus for you is that this place is not super crowded.
We're talking you're in the mountains.
You got really well spaced sites apart from your neighbors.
Very spacious. It's quiet and there's so much fresh air here. It's amazing.
-Yeah. Every morning and every evening we would...
walk around the entire RV park because it does a huge mile loop around it.
I love the fact that this campground feels like a campground versus an RV park. -Exactly.
-You know, your neighbor is...
far enough away from you that you don't feel like you're in a tight parking lot, like some RV parks are. -Yeah
-And it just has that woodsy campground feel to it. -It's so nice.
Also, super kid friendly. It's wonderful to be taking walks out. Everyone's walking their dogs.
Kids are running around having a blast. They got volleyball courts.
They got pickle ball, if you ever heard of that.
So another really awesome thing. If you or anyone else is planning a wedding.
They offer on-site wedding accommodations here.
And guys. I don't know if you can see behind us but it is spectacular.
A hidden gem that you're going to want to check out for sure.
-Yes. You can have your ceremony here. -Yeah. -They have a reception hall.
And then there's a ton of cabins. And tons of RV sites.
So you could basically have an all-in-one, amazing wedding.
So if you're looking for a place to stay...
that has the campground feel but with all the RV park amenities.
Then definitely check out Echo Basin RV Park in Mancos, Colorado.
Absolutely. Don't miss it. Write it down.
-You know what guys? Come with us. We're going to show you some cool views of the RV park.
Here we go.
