In addition to dry camping, the Morefield campground in Mesa Verde has 15 full hookup sites with reservations. Either area is open so you'd get t.v. service...don't know about cell. You might have to drive to the Visitor Center.
We always try to stay in the national parks. It saves on driving and most of the time costs and you just feel a good experience for staying right there.

We stayed in one of those electric sites a few years ago. Glad we did - full moon, ranger program at night, tour van picked up at the campground office (which also had a store and pancake breakfast IIRC).
I had already booked a site online, saw one come open with electric, and gave a call. The reservations guy was great about switching us, no penalty. So I'd keep an eye on the res site for openings.
That said, the CGs down below the Mesa have much better facilities overall for RVing. We stayed in Cortez once, also at McPhee Reservoir Forest Service/BLM? CG near Delores once. All worked out fine. It's a fascinating area to explore. See the BLM's excellent Anasazi Heritage Center while you're there. Salmon Ruins, Aztec Ruins and especially Hovenweep are great, too.
