Morefield Campground

Great campground. Wonderful amenities with campsites offering plenty of shade and privacy.

$25/night tent camping

We found a great site. There IS wifi here in the tent camping sites, stronger as you get closer to the bathrooms.

We will definitely visit here again and take advantage of all the hiking and sights to see.
Our entrance to the park was free because we have the senior pass. Only had to pay the camping fee. We were surprised to see all the amenities available. Fully stocked camp store. Gas station. Lots of restrooms with flush toilets and free showers. Sites are level and open. Plenty of deer but no bears.

Most people stay here only to see Mesa Verde. There are many sites, so you really don't need a reservation. There are hot showers, laundry and a nice camp store. There are flush toilets and water at the toilets. The full hook up sites have all that you need for a short stay to visit the National Park. There are bears here, so beware. The Mesa Verde sights are about 28 miles away from the campground which is still located in the national park, so plan at least an hour to get to your tours from Morehead. There is no bus to take you there. There is room at some of the sites for a Class C (25 ft) in the parking lots, and some have bus parking that works for a Class A if you don't have a toad. You will need to get your tour tickets at the visitor center before entering the park.

We know that National Parks are normally not set up for larger rigs, and this one is no exception. We found a spot and managed to squeeze in our 36' toy hauler. There were about 5 spots that would have been OK and several that would have been very tight but possible. The roads in the campground are tight, sites are dated and few are level. There were no hookups at this site, as with most in the park, but there are two dump stations nearby with potable water. This was not a problem as we are used to boondocking in the forest and desert. There are free showers located at the store a couple of miles from the campground and flush toilets located throughout the campground. This is bear country so there are plenty of bear resistant trash receptacles and the park is very clean, as far as trash and clutter.
Visits by local Mule Deer and a handful of Wild Turkeys made for a pleasant experience. We stayed in early September, so the temperatures were mid to high 80's during the day and mid 30's to mid 40's at night. Some light rain and monsoon thunder storms, thankfully in the distance only.
The tours are excellent, educational and can be rather physical. Tours were $5.00 each and well worth the fee.
We had a lifetime NP pass so entry was free and camping was discounted.
We would definitely stay here again.

We had site (187). Very quiet with lots of deer. The sunsets were fantastic, water pressure ( our site ) was weak at best. No problems otherwise. Check in was quick and easy. Camp store well stocked. The $5 tours are well worth it. Cliff House tour is best taken in the morning the afternoon sun was intense. ( David was our guide INCREDIBLE. ) The700 year tour was pricy but informative. If you are familiar with Pueblo history, I’d save the $.

It's a shame that the NPS has to contract out the management of the campgrounds. Rude lady at the check-in located in the Morefield Village Gift Shop. We made a reservation via phone on the day we arrived but that does not mean you reserve a spot. They show you where to look for one. There were several sites available and we picked one, but many are not very level and shade can be a bit sparce. Dry camping but potable water available at the dump station just before you get to the site loops, so top off with water there before you find your site. There are showers, laundry, cafe, and gas station located in the Village. However, as you might imagine, gas prices were highly marked up from what you will find on the highway.

The park itself is well worth a visit. However, make sure you don't arrive at the various sites towards the end of the day as the volunteers don't want you on the trails anywhere near closing time. So, probably best to see the different sites in the morning.

With a National Lifetime Senior Pass its cheap enough and certainly close to the sites and miles off the main highway.

Nice to be close to the attractions. Not much privacy at the full hookup sites. I think we envisioned that these spots would be more spread out. But all our neighbors were nice. Lots of deer in the area. Zero cell signal with t-mobile. Museum and visitor center are closed because of COVID-19. Well stocked gift shops.

Went to the main store when we arrived at Mesa Verda, and was surprised that there were so many sites available on a Saturday in mid-May. Most other national parks are sold out months out.

There are three main loops: tent campers (RVs OK but no generators), RV with hookups, and RV dry camping. There were no sites in the RV sites with hookups, so we went to the "Hopi" loop (RV dry camping). Sites are on the small side (typical of NPS sites designed in the 1960's), a bit more closely spaced than I would have expected, and not very level. But they had picnic tables and a fire pit, and ours was surrounded on two sides by scrub oak. But lots of sites to choose from, and if you're visiting Mesa Verde, this was far more convenient and than nearby US Forest Service sites.

Only down side was the number of generators. Our neighbor across the road was running a loud one from 7 am to 10 pm. Lots of others, too, though not as long or loud.
