BRIGHT STAR CAMPGROUND is located in the Great Sage Plain in the shadow of Mesa Verde Nat'l Park with panoramic mountain/mesa views of the Four Corners region, all only 5 miles southeast of Cortez.

The space
Sunrise is a covered tent/van/hammock site with East views of the surrounding Mountains! It has a fire ring/pit and if you need wood, we sell it for a reasonable price. Summer often has fire bans so please ask. It sits next to a raised stargazing deck and is convenient to all the campground facilities. Additional Guests, over two, are $8 each per night. Max of 2 adults and 4 kids under 18. Not a multi-family site. Contact us for exceptions. Small RV's or Campers only (26' max length) can park next to the covered area. No hookups but guests use the central showers, toilets, and stocked kitchen with appliances, dishes, pots, filtered water, ice and electricity.

We may have other camp and cabin sites available on BrightStarCampground (web) with a "contact us" number. We can often accommodate groups and events of up to 60.

We are a cannabis-friendly destination. When families with kids are in the common areas, we ask that you refrain from smoking around them.

Guest access
You will love our equipped community kitchen for cooking. You can store food in the Camper's Fridge/Freezer. There is a dishwashing sink with soap, scrub brush & towels. We have complimentary COFFEE, Tea, spices, oil and more. There is also a Propane Grill at the pavilion & buffet table all adjoining the kitchen for you to use.

The Campground, as always, is tidied daily. We provide trash cans in various locations but our service cannot handle trash in excess of what those cans hold. Please do not leave additional full trash bags.
Enjoy your stay at the Bright Star Campground!

Other things to note
Camp Kush is in an arid desert climate and conservation is key. Water is stored in cisterns for use in camp. Because of this we ask that you be conservative with water use. We provide drinking water but please do not fill large containers to go. We usually have ICE for purchase $4 for 10 lb bag or up to a medium ice chest full. Ice is free to fill a cup, HERE ON-SITE :))) We usually have some little snacks available as well (.75c - $1.50) Our showers are comfortable hot water and our pit toilets have nice sinks with running water, hand soap, and hand towels.
