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.

We always have a great time here...We try to get there at least one a season...Quiet and relaxing. Great campground host. However, they did have a significant price increase this season, now $26/night, but no charge for additional vehicle. I would rather the lower the charge per night and charge for additional vehicle.

The Campground Host, Jeff was extremely friendly and helpful! He know the area and is more than happy to take time out of his busy day to point anyone in the right direction, weather it is fishing or sight seeing Jeff knows it well!!!

First off, camp host was amazing, really liked him. That being said, not to fond of the upper Mogote campground, not much shade in #19 and pretty dusty. The space to the south was really close, could hear most of their conversations and inappropriate music, (I had my grandkids with me). It was pretty warm this low which could be a + or - dependent upon your tastes. I like the cooler temps of upper elevation. We walked around the lower section of the campground, (yes separated by maybe an eighth of a mile), it seemed pretty nice with more shade and river access. All in all, it was ok, clean bathrooms, water refill stations, and much closer to civilization if you're looking for that.

Mogote was beautiful! As I was walking around, I noticed that I preferred the campsites on the other side much more to mine, so I definitely recommend looking at the map before booking. It was nice and private, but you could for sure see other sites. The river was beautiful, but a little to fast to swim in for my taste (and I was a competitive swimmer so take that as you may haha). AMAZING wildlife viewing. We lost service about 3 miles from the site, which made leaving and navigating home a little tricky, but that’s kind of what you expect right?
Bottom line, I would love to return and I would recommend to a friend.

The campsites were too close together, at least in the upper loop. The lower loop had more trees for privacy. The camp host was very nice.
