Details
Spend a night or two in Morefield Campground, just 4 miles inside Mesa Verde. With 435 sites, there’s always plenty of space! The campground rarely fills. Each site has a table, bench, and grill. Camping is open to tents, trailers and RVs, including 15 full hookup RV sites that require reservations.

Also available at Mesa Verde - Base Camping: If you like to camp, but don't want to carry all your equipment on your back as in backpacking, then base camping is for you! Base Camping includes a 10x12 Canvas tent with outdoor carpet flooring, two cots and a lantern. For more information, check out the ARAMARK website.

Morefield's campsites are situated on loop roads that extend through a high grassy canyon filled with Gambel Oak scrub, native flowers, deer, and wild turkeys.

Several of the park’s best hikes leave from Morefield and climb to spectacular views of surrounding valleys and mountains.

Wake to an all-you-can eat pancake breakfast at the café in Morefield’s full-service village. There's also a gas station, RV dumping station, coin-operated laundry, complimentary showers, a gift shop and a well stocked grocery store.
