Our stay at Morefield was amazing. The site was mostly level. We were the only campers on our half of the loop the first two nights. Within walking distance of hiking trails. Deer frequented our area. Clean bathrooms located nearby. There is little to no shade. The showers are not within walking distance of most sites. An awesome base camp to experience Mesa Verde. Wi-Fi was very spotty and phones did not work.

Fortunately we got here early with our 40' 5er - not many spots for big rigs. They take reservations for dry camping but not for particular spots - the spots are FF. There is a loop with full hook ups but we could not get a spot there. Bath house in our loop was very clean - toilet and sink only. The showers are by the general store/laundry/check in area. The ride into and up to the campground is not for the feint of heart - very windy and steep. No T-Mobile service, we got spotty wi-fi on our AT&T router. There are two dump stations with potable water. Beautiful view of the mountains on all sides Unhook and take a day trip to the cliff dwellings within the park. Lots of hiking opportunities as well! The need to do some branch trimming and hole filling on the corners. Will definitely be back.

Camp showers were adequate according to my hubby. I used our rv shower. I didn’t expect the Wi-Fi to be any good but it was fairly good in the daytime, not so good at night. We would definitely stay here again.

We are here about 15 days or so before the campground officially opens up for the spring/summer. We haven't even explored the park yet but this off season stuff is awesome. The wifi eminates from the bathrooms and even though we are about 100 yards away from it, the wife is using it for zoom meetings now. About 10mb down and 2 up. I'm also getting enough AT&T to stream YouTube tv in 480p, using a mifi hotspot and small stick to window type antenna.
I read where most don't get any reception and maybe because the leaves aren't out on the trees yet, but AT&T with antenna is working good. I also imagine the wifi may possibly be slow during the season when many people are using it.
Anyway, again amazing campground just before the season! Bathroom heated and clean. About 10 campers here. Only Zulu (something like that) is open but probably at least 50 sites. About 20 or so for 35ft rigs or less. I wouldn't do this off season in a 40ft fifth wheel, but class a's would be doable.

Off season (early Oct) there is not much on offer here and only one loop of the massive campground was open, and all sites got taken by dusk. No hookups, no dump available, no water available. Dry camping and an older looking restroom bldg we didn't enter. Bit of a hike to throw out the trash before bed. But it's in the park and despite less than ideal right site right along roadside, it was quiet and usable once we leveled. No Verizon signal at campsite but intermittent along MV roads and slow wifi at welcome center.

We were supposed to be in Mesa Verde for 2 nights, but only stayed 1 due to some truck problems. I called and let them know we were not cancelling but we’re going to miss the 1st night, they thankfully didn’t charge me for the 2nd night which was very nice of them. We had the ONLY full hook up site in the Pueblo tent loop which was kind of weird. We are very experienced RVers and had the hardest time leveling our camper. Besides that, we enjoyed seeing all the deer.

This is a very nice camp right in the national park. It is dry camping with sites that have varying depths. When you make a reservation, you don't book a specific site, so when you arrive, you need to cruise the loops and find "the one" that you think is most attractive. There were many nice sites to choose from when we arrived. We have a 24' class C and there were many open sites that would have fit our unit. If you have a travel trailer or longer class C, it may be challenging to find a workable site. A full sized 5th wheel or Class A, probably would not fit anywhere. A water spigot was available at the bathrooms. There is also wifi emanating from the bathrooms. We were ~150 ft from one bathroom, and the Wifi was very useable for light browsing. There are 3 nice hiking trails leaving from the campground. Two of them climb the surrounding hills and give you fantastic 360 views of the surrounding area. The real draw to the park are the ancient Pueblo sites. The Step House site on the Wetherill Mesa is the only one that was open to the public, without a special tour. Try to book a tour to see whatever House is open for tours when you are there. We were able to get a tour of the Longhouse on Wetherill Mesa. The tours are only $8, however, it is very tough to book them, as they go incredibly fast. I got on the NPS website slightly early and put the desire timeslot tour tickets in my "Cart", however, by the time I was able to checkout, they were "sold out", I changed timeslots and was able to grab tickets on the last tour of the day. I would say that all tickets were gone in ~20 seconds, after they were opened to order. The Museum was closed due to Covid when we were there.

Went to the main store when we arrived at Mesa Verda, and was surprised that there were so many sites available on a Saturday in mid-May. Most other national parks are sold out months out.
There are three main loops: tent campers (RVs OK but no generators), RV with hookups, and RV dry camping. There were no sites in the RV sites with hookups, so we went to the "Hopi" loop (RV dry camping). Sites are on the small side (typical of NPS sites designed in the 1960's), a bit more closely spaced than I would have expected, and not very level. But they had picnic tables and a fire pit, and ours was surrounded on two sides by scrub oak. But lots of sites to choose from, and if you're visiting Mesa Verde, this was far more convenient and than nearby US Forest Service sites.
Only down side was the number of generators. Our neighbor across the road was running a loud one from 7 am to 10 pm. Lots of others, too, though not as long or loud.

Nice to be close to the attractions. Not much privacy at the full hookup sites. I think we envisioned that these spots would be more spread out. But all our neighbors were nice. Lots of deer in the area. Zero cell signal with t-mobile. Museum and visitor center are closed because of COVID-19. Well stocked gift shops.

It's a shame that the NPS has to contract out the management of the campgrounds. Rude lady at the check-in located in the Morefield Village Gift Shop. We made a reservation via phone on the day we arrived but that does not mean you reserve a spot. They show you where to look for one. There were several sites available and we picked one, but many are not very level and shade can be a bit sparce. Dry camping but potable water available at the dump station just before you get to the site loops, so top off with water there before you find your site. There are showers, laundry, cafe, and gas station located in the Village. However, as you might imagine, gas prices were highly marked up from what you will find on the highway.
The park itself is well worth a visit. However, make sure you don't arrive at the various sites towards the end of the day as the volunteers don't want you on the trails anywhere near closing time. So, probably best to see the different sites in the morning.
With a National Lifetime Senior Pass its cheap enough and certainly close to the sites and miles off the main highway.
