Stayed at Jimez loop, site #86. Its got everything you need, except a ton of shade.

I have been to Mesa Verde twice and still have not been able to see all I want to. The Cliff dwellings are amazing. it is worth the time to go on tours. handicap tours are available but the non handicap tours need a little stamina and hiking skills. The require climbing ladders. We stayed in the primative camping area tenting. A skunk came into our camping area which was very scary but it didn't spray us as we tried to stay still as he explored our site. Water is close by as well as bathrooms and showers. There are reasonable eating establishments and stores on the campgrounds. Firewood and ice are available. There is no pool. We went for the Cliff dweller experience and many of the areas are handicap accessible. There is a museum and gift shop in the park.

If you are headed to Mesa Verde, stay inside the park at Morefield. The campground is isolated, yet close to a store, showers and pet care. Some sites lack shade but most are very large.

Nice! nice secluded spots amongst the trees. we booked online but got to pick out our own spot . not sure if this is always the way or if it’s because it wasn’t too busy mid June. Showers and Laundry just a short drive or walk to where the camp check in is. Also a cafe , we didn’t eat there just coffee $25 a night , worth it for the quietness and privacy of the camp site

We stayed inside Mesa Verde for two nights. the camping was good and they even had showers and laundry you could use. Make sure you go to the visitors center first thing and book your tours of the different cliff dwellings!

Spacious tent sites. Bathrooms within close range. WiFi located at each bathroom.

Very surprised with the actual size of Mesa Verde National Park. The facilities are maintained very well and are kept extremely clean. The showers they are amazing. Especially after tent camping for a week!

Be prepared to sign up for tours - under $10 per person, which is very reasonable - to see some of the cliff sites up close.T he museum and rangers were great. Be sure to buy your tickets in advance as there is a limited number of tours each day and they fill up. You can only purchase tickets up to 2 days in advance and it has to be in person. The tours are so worth the effort!

Our experience camping at Morefield was great! We expected the campground to be more full, but there were lots of choices for sites. We were able to get a great site that was well shaded, with some space between us and adjacent sites, and plenty of room in the site itself. It was my partner and I and we have a teardrop style camper. The bathrooms were clean enough (some spider webs, but the sinks and flushing toilets were clean). There were free showers with no time limit. We did not attend any of the evening programs, but there were programs available. We were under the impression that there were electric sites available, but were not able to locate them. There is a general store for purchasing ice, little items that may have been forgotten, and a gas station. Overall, this was a great experience that leads my partner (who hates camping) to want to camp more!

This was my favorite campsite on our South West road trip. The staff was very nice and the camp store has everything you need. The price was very reasonable and we had no trouble getting a spot. The tent sites were all dIfferent, some nestled in trees, some out in the open, but all of them nice. They weren’t too close to each other either, so you get some privacy. As far as the park, the cliff dwellings were amazing, like stepping back in time. An absolute must if you are traveling through this area.

You can get a reservation online but the site choices are first come. Some are totally miserable with no shade but others have some nice shade. We went to the onsite cafe wToo many times-pancake breakfast was awesome. When we went, it was during the big 416 fire so there was a fire ban but propane was okay. The bathrooms and showers were pretty good. There is also a laundry area. They are very strict about keeping anything that may attract bears in your car. The roads are good but are winding roads in the mountains. There are lots of different trails to check out as well as cliff dwellings-some require tour tickets. 

Went in June

For our family of five, this campground was the perfect place to lay our heads at night and greet the dawn in the morning. Plenty of space to spread out and avoid rubbing elbows with fellow campers, but still a place conducive to meeting others on the path to the bathrooms or while all were out cooking an evening meal. Incredible views, tucked among the rolling mountains and towering mesas.

This campground is run by Aramark for NPS. It's adequate. Showers at a central location are free and clean; each shower has its own door so it's completely private. Laundry facility by the store is also clean...and large.

The bathrooms in the camping loops were clean, and there was a water spigot outside the bathrooms.

Camp store has a decent selection of craft beer at good prices. Every Aramark employee I interacted with (store, laundromat) was nice.

So what's wrong with this place? Vast majority of the sites are dry...which is not a problem. You don't reserve a specific site...also not a problem. Just get there early so you can get a decent site. Many sites have significant erosion so they look almost uninhabitable, and many have no shade. We got there early on a Thursday before Memorial Day and were able to find a level site with shade, and it wasn't on top of anyone else.

You're in the national park so it's convenient. And the park was quiet.

We were able to drive our campervan up after dark and get a shower and still find a camp site (paid for the next day). The parking space was a little small for the van but perfect for a smaller vehicle. Would definitely camp here again.

stayed for two nights, almost no other campers. Our site had small trees for shade. Its pretty, but not the most gorgeous views, those are at the top of the park! The campground was clean and quiet. The stars were out with little light pollution. There is a cafe at the camp store, recommend the all you can eat 8 dollar pancake breakfast. If you have two days do it, there is so much to see! There are also showers which were clean. Did the ranger tour of balconey house, was amazing.

Nice and convenient campground inside of Mesa Verde National Park. Very clean and well maintained. Many hot, 24 hours showers available in a large bathhouse within driving distance of campground. Sites were chosen upon arrival and lots of shady spots. Great location to start early and head out for the first cliff dwelling tour of the day! Don't miss a hike on the Petroglyph Point Trail to see amazing rock art and great views of the canyon.

We arrived on Saturday afternoon and stayed til Monday morning. Campsite was big enough to accommodate our 2 tents. Also provided lots of shade. We really enjoyed the nightly ranger talks at the nearby amphitheater held at dusk. The park offers lots of hikes and tours of the cliff dwellings. The only thing missing was a pool or some place to cool off at the campground as it was very hot mid afternoon. Bathrooms were nice and free showers are included.

came to this campground for our honeymoon and we had a blast.. seen lots of wildlife hit lots of trails the cliff dwellings were amazing!! would LOVE to go back!!

We stayed here 2 nights the summer of 2015. It's priced fair and we were able to find a camp spot with some good shade. We were camping in a tent se we didn't need hook-ups. I'm not sure what the hook-up situation is for campers. We were able to enjoy cool evening walks; where we would often spot deer. It was also fairly close to the amphitheater to hear the ranger talks. I would recommend going to the talks because they would talk about a lot of the history that you may miss out on. Also the showers were free; a little old school but got the job done.
