Morefield Campground

The campsite was nice. The bathrooms were easily accessible. The restaurant offered good breakfast options - including never-ending pancakes. There is expensive gas offered in the area as well as a small camp store. I would check the expiration dates on some of the food items before purchasing, though. The showers and laundry facilities were exceptional. My daughter enjoyed the crossword puzzle with randomly placed hints around the campsite. The ranger-led talk about a Hopi folktale was very entertaining and educational.

Lovely campground with hiking trails in walking distance! We are on our first travel trailer trip so be warned if you are still figuring out backing your trailer in that spaces are tight and need to basically back in at a 90° angle. But it can happen. Some sites more private than others; ours was enclosed in trees and shrubs. Others are more open. Quiet. 30 min drive to cliffside dwellings. Plenty of viewpoints and stops along the way. Campground store had basics of what we needed plus fun souvenirs. Didn't use laundry or showers, though did open and look at one shower. Private stall/room per shower but the one I opened smelled like sewer.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay! The park is stunning and you get to stay in it! There are deer that wander the campground, making for fun sightings. Kelly and her husband were very nice, helpful, and made me feel great about leaving our little dog in the boarding kennel for the day!

We loved this place..totally off grid. Small number of placements. No water (we knew this when we booked) but the toilets were very clean. The views are stunning and every placement seems to have one. Very quiet.and very close to Sand dunes National Park. The Zapata Falls were a great little.mini adventure too in very short walking distance.

Overall, a nice campground in a beautiful location. But we did notice some areas for improvement: 1. The campsites themselves need more maintenance. Many of the campsites were very overgrown, to the point where the tables and fire pits were almost swallowed by high grass. This seems less than ideal given ticks as well as fire danger. 2. The flush toilets are nice, but one of the men's restrooms had no soap. 3. The showers are great to have, but need to be better maintained and cleaned. Most of them don't drain well, and the signs that talk about not using the showers for solid waste aren't exactly reassuring... 4. We had the pancake breakfast one day. Nice to have the option, but they ran out of forks and we had to eat our pancakes with a spoon. That should not happen.

After you check-in, you get to pick the site you want by driving around and putting your tag on a post. This was nice so that we were able to select a site that fit both our tent and our shade gazebo. Unfortunately, the campground bathrooms are in dire need of repair and cleaning. The pit toilets at our previous campground were nicer than these. I didn't want to touch anything in these bathrooms. There was no soap and no way to dry one's hands. If that's the model being used, then provide and maintain a hand sanitizer option. The lighting outside the bathroom also didn't seem to align with the park's dark sky certification. On the upside - we greatly appreciated the showers! They were much better maintained than the facilities in the campground and it's always appreciated when we can control the water temp and adjust the shower head for our kids. It's also nice to have them designed in a way that doesn't get everything you own wet. Overall, it was a good experience and we'd stay here again if visiting Mesa Verde.

Great campground wasn't crowded but plenty of folks coming and going. Campfire program at night is cool however be prepared for a mixed bag, They don't tell you the program until you are there so it's a little awkward if you choose not to stay. The night we went was more like someone's thesis than a campfire program. Only the star gazing is planned in advance. Otherwise we had a great time. Store staff was friendly and the showers were big clean and are free. Nice to have flushing toilet in the campground instead of vaults.

We boarded our dogs in the kennel yesterday so we could take a guided tour of the cliffs. The staff was very helpful and took the dogs out each hour. Pricing was $17 for a half day per dog, but worth it for us. I wish they would put all info on their website related to the kennel (pricing, hours, vaccination info, etc), which would have saved me time calling other kennels in the area. Highly recommend.
