I have camped at almost every site along the Pecos since 1971. Most trips have been pleasant except for the few people who seem to want to party and blare their boom boxes until late at night. Plan on arriving early for the premium sites as it does become crowded by late Fridays.

I would pay $5 a nite if there was any kind of control of late nite partiers and upkeep of bathrooms and trash containers

We spent two days at Mora Creek May 23 and 24, an area that I have spent a lot of time at since I was a small child. We spent 45 minutes picking up trash (beer cans and bottles, paper products, food containers. . .) when we arrived to make the site as picturesque as nature provided it. The toilet facilities have been used as trash bins and it doesn't appear that State Game and Fish is doing anything to improve this otherwise beautiful spot. The fishing was good (more trash in the creek), and the upper campground was very peaceful. Making this a fee area, I suppose, would go a long way toward keeping out the riff-raff and vandals. From the tagging on the outhouses, trees, picnic tables, and rocks, I learned "Veronica loves Miguel," "Panthers 2006 Rule," and a lot of foul language.

If you're willing to pick up after the people before you, this is a great spot.

What a dump! There are NO HOOKUPS in the Pecos wilderness, and the place is crawling with RV'ers. KEEP YOUR LAND BARGES HOME! Dispersed camping is out of control and the beautiful resource is being destroyed. Mora CG is just a dirt parking lot full of trash.

It is such a sad sight to see how the site has changed over the years. My family has had a family tradition of camping in this area for over 50 years. My father, his brothers and one sister have hundreds of stories related to this area that we cherish and love to hear over and over again. The graffiti and the pollution has gotten out of hand. You can't even walk one step in any direction without stepping on some kind of litter. When I was a child in the 80's we could run the campgrounds barefoot without the worry of stepping on broken glass and now that I have my own children, I wouldn't dream of letting them run around in even so much as a flip flop on; they have to wear shoes. I know that my family would be willing and even proud to have to pay a camp fee just to be able to see the place where all our beloved family memories took place, cleaned up and restored back to it's original condition (graffiti and litter free). We went camping just this summer in July like we do every year and there was a fire ban. There were signs every where and yet there were still idiots starting fires! Obviously those people don't respect the area or the law and need to be ticketed or even arrested. And the sad part of that is that they were locals! I noticed someone complaining about R.V.ers and the people that were not following the laws about the fire ban were the people who were sleeping in tents! Fancy that!!! In all the years that I have been camping there, it is more often than not that the R.V.ers are the ones following the rules and keeping it clean. I know that there are some people who sleep in tents and can keep the area clean but just from my experience this is what I have noticed. I don't think that people who travel 5 hours to get to a camp site would go just to trash the place. It's the locals who go and don't care to clean house because they don't treasure what they have like those of us who don't have the privilege to see such natural beauty.

I used to work for NM Game and Fish in the late 80's. My duties included collecting a camping fee from people in the Mora campground and other State Game Commision sites throughout the Pecos area. I had not been back to the area until Sept. 2015. Complete shock and saddness is the only way to describe what I saw and felt. The place has turned into an overrun dump. Illegal fishing, trash and lack of respect for the Pecos area. It reminded me of an unkept trailer park in a border town. Very Sad. Please get some enforcement in there.

I feel compelled to comment due to the negative comments of others. Mora is NOT what I would consider to be a nice campground. It is primitive. Bring your water. Vault toilets (2). No tent pads, fire rings, picnic tables, lantern posts, etc. It's a free place to camp for holders of a fishing license. We arrived Monday and stayed there all week. Several families in RVs and lots of other families visiting for daytime fishing. No loud campers during our week there (early August 2015). In fact, a very pleasant camping experience here. Mostly dirt everywhere. Lots of chipmunks!(!!!) The state stocks the Mora here and we witnessed them as they did it right at our campsight next to the river gage. Good fishing in the Pecos and Mora Rivers. Trail (gated old road) leads up the Mora to some nice fishing holes. Met some very nice folks here of all ages and from all over. Not very scenic, but plenty of trees and shade at the junction of 2 beautiful rivers.
