I had tent site No. 4. Not too close to other campsites. Nice picnic table. The only issue was that tent sites were not level. The one closest to the picnic table was not too bad, however. Note: The site has room for a 1-2 person tent and would not accommodate a large tent.

Absolutely beautiful location. I would definitely go back, however, I'd do it in warmer weather...it was freezing 🥶
Major point to the permanent food box and trash cans secured.

Needed somewhere to stay on my way back from Denver to Albuquerque with a new camper. I arrived at night. Woke up in the morning to beautiful views and some fresh snow. This campground was clean and the bathrooms were stocked. The camper spots all looked pretty level as well.

We stayed at campsite 7 while visiting the area. The views were amazing looking into the San Luis Valley across to the mountains opposing Blanca Peak. The trail to the falls was very well kept and easy to follow. To stock up on items from town will take you about 30 minutes to get to, so be prepared. Close proximity to The Great Sand Dunes and the wetlands wildlife Refuge.
