The campground is rustic but the views were gorgeous looking out over the valley. Stars were beautiful and Milky Way was the main stage. No potable water or firewood so be prepared.

Better signage is needed to direct campers to the campground.

Enjoyed my birthday at this Zapata Falls Campground. Short hike to a beautiful gem. Then, so close to the Dunes made the stay perfect.
Thank you great visit.

Great location close to Great Sand Dunes NP. Zapata Falls hike was fun. Wonderful dark sky for star gazing and a nearly full moon.
