What Guests Are Saying
Mogote is praised for its clean, spacious campsites and well-maintained bathrooms, with a welcoming and attentive camp host, Sam. The beautiful river and serene forest setting enhance the camping experience, making it a favorite for many visitors. However, numerous reviews note a significant mosquito problem and mention that entrance road conditions could be improved, alongside the need for some facilities to be updated.

Beautiful quiet campsite despite being close to the road. Minimal traffic during the day and at night. Incredibly clean bathrooms, running water, trash cans, great camp host, clean campsite. Incredibly close to town and other attractions. Will definitely be coming back!

We love Mogote and have camped here for many years, however, facilities need updating. Toilets were kept clean, but are in a state of disrepair.

Upper loop doesn't have many trees and is very open. It looks more desert like. The lower loop has all the great trees, many sites have amazing river access. Be prepared for a lot of mosquitoes. There seems to be a swampy area near sites 22 and 23 near the trash cans that produces these pesky biters.
Sam, the camp host does an amazing job at keeping the sites clean and friendly. The bathrooms are very clean and well stocked.
If you run out of supplies, there is a small and friendly mercantile about 5 minutes from the campground for you to stock up on what you need, including your fishing license(cash only).
We did not see much wildlife other than chipmunks, occasionally we saw a deer on the other side of the river and a couple fisherman saw a bear come down to fish on one of the river islands.

Nice campground! Site 22 is way close to 23, we could hear normal conversations between the two sites. Luckily, it was a great group to be next to, but could have easily been a nightmare situation. Campsite itself was very clean, the camp host was incredibly nice and helpful. LOTS of mosquitos so bring a couple cans of bug spray. River was gorgeous, really all around great experience.

Many of the spots require too tight a turn to get even our 22 foot trailer into them. Not having water to fill the trailer was also a huge pain.
