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.

The camp host, Sam, was great. He cared about his job, making the facility as clean as possible. The bathrooms close to space 3 were bad. The ventilation system was poorly designed and these vault toilets need to be replaced. The campground was well laid out, the sites have lots of privacy. It is a beautiful area. After Mogote we went to Datil Well in Datil, NM and the difference between vault toilets was amazing. The new generation of vault toilets should be copied at every older facility.

We have been to Mogote many times and it never fails to please. The camp host this, Sam, was especially courteous and the grounds and facilities were spotless. And extra credit to Sam for the cinnamon scent in the bathrooms - first time I've experienced this and it's a brilliant idea! Can't wait for next year!

We've stayed here several times. The upper loop is our favorite, it always seems to be less crowded.

Campsite was clean; toilet closest to us was atrocious. Never saw the camp host in our two days there. Probably won’t go back.

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