What Guests Are Saying
Transfer Campground is well-maintained and offers beautiful scenery, spacious sites, and friendly hosts. The facilities, including clean bathrooms and nearby hiking trails, enhance the experience. However, the campground is close to a busy road, has limited shade, and lacks trash service, so visitors should plan accordingly.

We have been to Transfer for family picnics before. This year it was in absolutely excellent condition - recently raked, not one scrap of trash. The groundskeeper checked in with us. He is doing a great job.

What an AMAZING group site! I was so pleasantly surprised. Perfect shade and set-up. Extremely clean bathroom (impressive). Great trails all around. I will definitely be back!

This is a beautiful campground! The scenery is amazing and the sites are spread out enough to give some privacy. The host is also very friendly and helpful.
A couple small things kept this campground from getting a 5. The location is next to a road that is fairly busy with traffic (mostly ATVs) during all daylight hours. There also isn’t much shade in the campground, due to the young aspens in the area. Finally there is no trash service available so you have to take your trash with you.
Overall though, excellent place to stay and I will happily return!

Three nights in campsite 6. Beautiful surroundings with nearby (short walk) views of peaks. Bathroom well kept. Friendly, helpful host. Potable water. No trash service, so prepare accordingly. Very little cell service in campground. About 20 minutes back to Mancos with good service (Verizon), and good food/drink choices. Will definitely go back!

Wonderful little campground with hiking trails within walking distance. Beautiful scenery at the campground itself and of course on the trails. The host was very friendly. No Internet service, which is one reason why I picked this location! And if you really need to get supplies, the town of Mancos is just 11 miles away.

From Mancos, CO: travel 1/4 mile north on Hwy 184, turn right on West Mancos Road (Forest Road 561) and travel 10.5 miles to the campground. Most of the road is unpaved, but has a good gravel surface. PLEASE NOTE that the Horse Sites are located before reaching the campground on the opposite side of the road off FSR 561, a totally separate area.
