Morefield Campground

Morefield Campground is found within Mesa Verde National Park in southwest Colorado. The campground is located in a fairly rural part of the state, only around 40 miles from where the state borders with both New Mexico and Utah. One of the nearest communities is the small town of Cortez, which is about 15 miles to the west, while the larger city of Durango is around 40 miles to the east.

Morefield Campground sits at a fairly high altitude. This means that the campground is only open April through October, due to the winter weather that can be fairly extreme here. The mesa it sits on was once covered in green vegetation (hence the name), but much of this was destroyed in a forest fire several years ago. This area is still comprised of a good bit of scrub brush, that is common to this part of the state. Camping with an RV near here will make it easy to reach any of the local attractions you may be interested in.

Numerous campsites are available here that can accommodate a wide variety of RV sizes. As it is found on the grounds of a national park, there are quite a few amenities available for guests. These include flush toilets, showers, and a full-service restaurant, during the busier months. A camp store and gift shop are also offered. This area is known for being a great place to spot local wildlife, such as turkeys and deer. It is also a fine place for stargazing, as there isn't a lot of light pollution in this lower populated part of the country. It shouldn't be any trouble to locate the services you need when you stay at this family-friendly campground in southwestern Colorado.
