Echo Basin Ranch RV Park is a campground in Colorado, about 4 miles from the town of Mancos. It serves as a base for exploring the surrounding trails, rivers and other campgrounds in the Mancos area. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Mancos show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, with July the warmest month at about 85°F. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the park, so temperatures here run cooler. Several trails start close by. Mule Deer Trail and Group Picnic Area Trail are both mountain biking routes within about a mile and a half, and Muleshoe Loop is a hike about 1.7 miles away. Paddlers can head to the West Mancos River, about 2.8 miles off.
