The park is on the Ute Indian reservation so alcohol is completely prohibited so no sitting outside to enjoy a campfire and sip on a cold brew, so that was a bit of a downer. Needless to say, I didn't go for walks there much after that so that was unfortunate. Most of the people in the Ute area seemed nice, but some of them definitely did not, in fact I took my dog for a walk not even a mile away from the RV Park and a guy pulled over to tell me that I needed to get back to the RV Park because the people there liked to get drunk and they'd probably shoot us white people if they saw us there. They welcomed older RV's, and kids, and our dog so we were grateful for that. The Park was well kept, and staffed by friendly people in the office, great cable tv, and the price was reasonable. The city of Cortez just 10-15 minutes away was a small city with some good microbrews to visit and some nice parks and in general nice people. The Cortez and surrounding area is a beautiful place and a fun area to explore, we were within driving distance of Mesa Verde, Hovenweep pueblo ruins, Canyonlands, and Arches National Park, oh and check out McElmo canyon, now that was a scenic drive.
