The $5 tours are well worth it. Cliff House tour is best taken in the morning the afternoon sun was intense. ( David was our guide INCREDIBLE. ) The700 year tour was pricy but informative. If you are familiar with Pueblo history, I’d save the $.

We know that National Parks are normally not set up for larger rigs, and this one is no exception. We found a spot and managed to squeeze in our 36' toy hauler. There were about 5 spots that would have been OK and several that would have been very tight but possible. The roads in the campground are tight, sites are dated and few are level. There were no hookups at this site, as with most in the park, but there are two dump stations nearby with potable water. This was not a problem as we are used to boondocking in the forest and desert. There are free showers located at the store a couple of miles from the campground and flush toilets located throughout the campground. This is bear country so there are plenty of bear resistant trash receptacles and the park is very clean, as far as trash and clutter.
Visits by local Mule Deer and a handful of Wild Turkeys made for a pleasant experience. We stayed in early September, so the temperatures were mid to high 80's during the day and mid 30's to mid 40's at night. Some light rain and monsoon thunder storms, thankfully in the distance only.
The tours are excellent, educational and can be rather physical. Tours were $5.00 each and well worth the fee.
We had a lifetime NP pass so entry was free and camping was discounted.
We would definitely stay here again.

Most people stay here only to see Mesa Verde. There are many sites, so you really don't need a reservation. There are hot showers, laundry and a nice camp store. There are flush toilets and water at the toilets. The full hook up sites have all that you need for a short stay to visit the National Park. There are bears here, so beware. The Mesa Verde sights are about 28 miles away from the campground which is still located in the national park, so plan at least an hour to get to your tours from Morehead. There is no bus to take you there. There is room at some of the sites for a Class C (25 ft) in the parking lots, and some have bus parking that works for a Class A if you don't have a toad. You will need to get your tour tickets at the visitor center before entering the park.

Our entrance to the park was free because we have the senior pass. Only had to pay the camping fee. We were surprised to see all the amenities available. Fully stocked camp store. Gas station. Lots of restrooms with flush toilets and free showers. Sites are level and open. Plenty of deer but no bears.

Be sure to visit the Visitor's Center as soon as you arrive to get tickets for different tours. The tours are amazing but you are required to register the morning of. There are a few tours that you can book online before your arrival. Be sure to check into that, especially if you are going during a heavy travel time.

I have to echo the comments posted by the reviewer who said “meh”. I’ve been on the road full time for 15 months and this is the worst campground I’ve been to yet. Bird droppings on the water spigots that are left there for who knows how long. Waist and chest high weeds in and around the campsites. The campground sits on a hill side yet no attempt made to level any of the sites. They make a point of telling you that wifi is free yet it doesn’t even work in the parking lot at the registration office. I initially paid for 2 nights site unseen but changed my mind and only stayed one. Woke up, went to Cliff Palace and got out of there. Won’t be back.

The Dwellings, Kivas, pot houses were amazing and so many to see. Love the wild horses too. We didn't check out the restrooms we use our own. We didn't have cell service unless you go into the visitor center or where you check in the campground still couldn't connect to Wi Fi there.
Gas up before you get close the prices of gas are high in this area especially in the park.

No neighbors could be seen from our spot, but the only downside about being on Pueblo Road would have been the traffic from the campers further up the loop.
WiFi was available but spotty. The facilities we’re a bit of a walk (maybe 100 yards) from our spot, but the privacy was worth the trade off.
Much fanfare was made of the pancake breakfast at the Cafe, but it was ok, not bad or anything just ok.
The amenities looked to be heavily used and weren’t dirty, but just dated.

It has a grill...but does not look like a spot. The showers are a days hike from the campground. You know when you fall asleep regretting where you camped and can’t wait to wake up and leave? That’s this place.
The dump stations are nice tho!
