Anasazi Sites @ Ancient Echoes

This magical place, surrounded by over 500,000 acres of protected land, is a 38 acre desert oasis near Mesa Verde, Sand Canyon and Hovenweep.  

Pitch your tent or park your small pop up or tiny rv (car and pull behind must be under 20 ft total) in a heritage orchard under and alongside magnificent red cliffs. We also have super clean bathroom with hot shower designated for campers. We have a fully equipped  community kitchen for cooking, and a gas grill as well. 

We border Canyons of the Ancients immediately to the North, a 174,000 acre National Monument with the largest concentration of Ancestral Puebloan ("cliff-dweller") and archeological sites in the United States. A favorite public access point to The Canyons of the Ancients is the Sand Canyon trailhead, a five minute drive from the property up the main road. It is visited by hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders alike.

We are a genuine "oasis" on exquisite high desert land with profound ancient puebloan sites within steps. Ideal home base for your Southwest adventure.

The driveway to Ancient Echoes affords you a view of the red rocks and mesas inside the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, directly behind us.

Camping in the Mesas

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.&nbsp;

The cabin also has a picnic area and firepit just outside of it as well. 

Here is a shot of the bunk bed in the cabin! They were very comfortable.

One of my favorite things about this site, is that they have a fully fenced in dog park, right outside the cabin!

In the Lodge nearby, there is a comfortable room to relax in. 

The cabin also has a TV with things like Netflix loaded onto it. 

The lodge also has a larger kitchen if you need to make a bigger meal.
