We loved our spot which was at the top of the campground and had views of the whole valley. It was nice to be close to the Great Sand Dunes.

Campground has awsome views and is close to Sand Dunes National Park. Clean vault toilets and campsites. We stayed in site 3.

We really enjoyed our stay. The view was amazing, the space was level and easily accessible. The hike to the falls was fairly quick and the trail maintained. The area is quiet and peaceful.

Spacious spots with a good amount of privacy from neighbors. Cleanest vault toilets I’ve ever seen in my life!

Incredible views of the valley! 35ft 5th wheel fit just fine with the truck along side. The fire pit, bear box, and picnic table are up a small hill. If mobility is an issue or may be differently to enjoy. Absolutely we'll be back!

Large campsite with room for 3 tents. This campsite felt very private but none of the areas to set up our tent were close to flat and we had to put rocks under the picnic table to make it flat too.

The road up to the campground and trail is paved and in good condition. We had a pull-beside site. Nice campground with stellar views. Vault toilets were clean. We enjoyed our stay!
