Rio Grande National Forest Mogote Campground
Reviewed Jun. 2, 2022

Wonderful Experience

The campground was very clean and campsites offered above average privacy. The lower loop offers sites close to the Conejos river. We were in spot #39 with a 32’ camper. Plenty of room to park my truck on the side and out of the main driveway. Most important to note: The campground host, Sam, was extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful. For example, a wildland fire broke out approximately 8 miles away and Sam personally visited each campsite to explain what he knew about the fire and ensured everyone that he would not hesitate to advise us to evacuate. I think he calmed many folk’s nerves. As a result, we remained and enjoyed our trip thoroughly. Additionally, upon returning from our trip, my son had realized he left behind a fly fishing pack containing countless flies, lured and accessories. He was absolutely devastated. Unfortunately, Mogote is 4.5 hours from Denver and returning was not an option. So, I left a message with a San Juan National Forest Ranger station in Del Norte who was able to put Sam and I in contact. I’m telling you that it took several people (Ranger, campground host at Aspen Glade and Sam at Mogote to deliver the message, locate the lost pack and facilitate returning the pack to my grateful son). Apologies for the lengthy review, but I want to express my deep appreciation for all of those who made this trip successful and assisted us with the return of my son’s beloved fishing equipment.
