Camping Guide

In Mesa Verde National Park there is one campground, Morefield Campground. This campgrounds operates on a first come first serve basis except for the group campsite. The campground rarely fills.

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. Many sites offer excellent shade.

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