Rio Grande/Mogote
The Rio Grande Mogote in Antonito, Colorado is a unique geological formation located in the San Luis Valley. It is a large, flat-topped mesa that rises abruptly from the surrounding landscape. The mesa is composed of sedimentary rocks that have been eroded over time by the Rio Grande River. The top of the mesa is covered with grasses and shrubs, and the sides are steep and rocky. The Rio Grande Mogote is a popular destination for hikers, campers, and birdwatchers, as it offers stunning views of the surrounding area. The mesa is also home to a variety of wildlife, including mule deer, elk, and bighorn sheep.

Well cared for! Camphost does a good job. Upper loop and lower are both different but beautiful. Pretty part of the state! A great place to stay.

We usually go backpacking but joined friends at Mogote. It’s definitely one of the nicest campgrounds we’ve been to. The bathrooms were really clean!! The host, Sam, was also really great. Makes me want to go “car camping” more often!

The campsite was very clean and the manager was so nice and helpful. It was a perfect spot to relax and sleep right near the river. Would definitely stay again!

Upper loop doesn't have many trees and is very open. It looks more desert like. The lower loop has all the great trees, many sites have amazing river access. Be prepared for a lot of mosquitoes. There seems to be a swampy area near sites 22 and 23 near the trash cans that produces these pesky biters. Sam, the camp host does an amazing job at keeping the sites clean and friendly. The bathrooms are very clean and well stocked. If you run out of supplies, there is a small and friendly mercantile about 5 minutes from the campground for you to stock up on what you need, including your fishing license(cash only). We did not see much wildlife other than chipmunks, occasionally we saw a deer on the other side of the river and a couple fisherman saw a bear come down to fish on one of the river islands.

We were in the lower loop, fair amount of mosquitoes but amazing views by the river
