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.

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.

Very clean campground. Sites on the lower loop were right on the Conejos River. Beautiful.

Beautiful camping area! We were in the lower loop, and had a nice private spot. There were a lot of mosquitos but it was well worth being next to the river that our kids really enjoyed playing in.

The camping spaces are large with easy pull through access for most of them. It has enough trees to keep the sun off of you but few enough that you can get sun if you want. The canp ground host keeps the bathrooms clean. It was a fun experience.
