Summary

AI generated

Mogote is a beautiful and peaceful campground, offering spacious and private sites near the Conejos River, ideal for fishing and relaxation. Camp hosts are friendly and maintain cleanliness, although some noted a lack of oversight and upkeep in certain areas, such as trash management and restroom conditions. While mosquitoes can be an issue, many campers appreciated the natural setting and the opportunity to disconnect from technology.

Toilets are in desperate need of replacement. Host better this year than last at cleaning but condition of facilities makes cleaning an issue. Gravel in sites needs augmenting to reduce mud in inclement weather. Some tree trimming on interior road required to prevent scratch and awning damage to RV’s.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
