Details

This turnkey operation is located next to a popular national park in Southwest Colorado. It offers a variety of accommodations such as cabins, tipis, and campsites. The business is small enough to manage with minimal staff of 4-6. In addition to the campground, it comes with a vacation rental house with two units which generates high profits. This seasonal operation allows the owners to take several months off during the winter, while still renting out the house year-round, primarily on Airbnb. The location is ideal for tourists who enjoy stargazing and Southwest sunsets in a convenient place, only 5 miles away from downtown Cortez and 20 minutes from the entrance to the Mesa Verde National Park. It is a complete package for visitors wanting to experience the Southwest area’s beauty through activities like river rafting, fishing, hunting, and exploring Native American cultures and the history of the old west. Tipis (furnished and unfurnished), camping cabins, and bunkhouses are all available, along with a large full hookup RV pad, tent/van/camper sites, and a large group pavilion site. The park also offers hot showers, WiFi, and an equipped camper’s kitchen, for guests convenience. There are swings and a small play structure at the campground and also at the house. Most guests are on multi-stop trips in the Southwest visiting national parks, Native American cultural sites or mountain biking. Many are attracted to the “unique stay” concept that the tipis offer but are not equipped to fully camp, so the park amenities afford them the opportunity to enjoy a comfortable camping-like experience around a campfire under the stars. The camping cabins and Hogan also offer a hybrid camping experience. Without having an RV, guests can still cook, wash dishes, shower, have electricity, and enjoy the big views and fiery Southwest sunsets. Bright Star’s cabins and accommodations do not compete with hotels/motels, as it offers a hybrid camping/glamping experience.
