About Mogote

Mogote Campground is located along the Conejos River, making it a perfect location for fishing and hiking. The pleasant campground is well shaded by groves of ponderosa pine and a mixture of cottonwood, spruce, willow and aspen. The campground is also in close proximity to the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, home of America's highest and longest, coal fired, steam operated narrow-gauge railroad.

What Guests Are Saying

Mogote is highly praised for its clean and spacious campsites, friendly and attentive camp host Sam, and its beautiful natural setting near a river. Many campers enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and well-maintained facilities, including impressively clean bathrooms. However, some reviews noted issues with mosquitoes, particularly in areas near standing water, and suggested that the road conditions and overall infrastructure could use improvement.

Beautifully location and scenery. Nicely spaced. Bathrooms cleaned daily. Camp host (Jeff) is very pleasant, personable, and efficient. Good family place. Quiet, minimal generator use. We had to run our generator for app. an hour in the afternoon to charge a battery to run my CPAP machine (no electric hookups), and any other generator use was remote and we didn’t notice it. We plan to stay there again.

We just got back from our trip. Our spot was right next to the river so it was easy to walk over. Unfortunately, there was a fire ban so we didn't get to have a campfire. There are LOTS of mosquitoes so bring repellent. Jeff, our camp host, was great! He gave us good advice on where to go and stopped by everyday to make sure everything was good. Bathrooms were cleaned every morning. We are going to try and come back in the fall.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Reservations are held until check-out time the day after arrival; no refunds for no-shows.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • 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.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
