Zapata Falls Campground

Great views and lots of space in between sites!

A lot of people have commented about how bad the 3 mile road up to the campground is and we were worried about this but as of 10June2022 they have regraded the road and there are no larger rocks/boulders that would keep you from going up or make it a rough 30-60 min drive. At it's worst there are some dips in the road and washboards but all cars were going up with ease including accords, imprezza, minivan, civic, etc. It took about 10 min to get up going 20mph.

As far as the sites, we stayed at #9, tent site, which is great. Very large area, not really any neighbors, some trees. All sites have bear boxes. Only downside is the knats & flies are the worst I've experienced. Screened canopy highly recommend and some sort of fly catcher. Oh and the heat is brutal out here. Bathrooms are pretty far away from #9. Good luck.

Host is very diligent going around keeping everything up to date.

Minus 1 star due to plague level knats, no water on the campgrounds, and bathrooms can be quite the trek depending on your site but are clean. Otherwise a great campground (KOA tried to charge me $20 to fill up my 5 gallon jug - bring lots of water!).

The campground was great! Our site was spacious enough for our 8-person tent and then some. We had a beautiful sunset across the dunes as well. The 4-mile drive in is gravel and has some uneven areas, but we traversed it just fine in the minivan so no concerns there. We arrived at sundown so the host checked in with us the following day, nice guy!

Great campground hosts, clean campsites and facilities. Very close to Great Sand Dunes NP. No water, so be sure to bring what you need.

Bathrooms were very clean and the host was friendly and helpful. Our campsite was clean and there was a nice amount of shade and spacing between sites. The road construction was a bit of a hinderance and we were held up on a couple of occasions, but knew before we arrived that there was work being done and also realize that a hinderance now means a better road later.

Great camp. Would be nice to have water, but facilities were clean. Our site did not have a great place for a large family tent, so it was a little slanted in the tent.

Beautiful—views are amazing and the bathrooms are clean :)

We were at tent #9, very spacious camp site with designated areas for all your camping needs! The bathroom was a little far but thankfully we didn't have to get up to go in the middle of the night. Very clean, camp host was nice. Beautiful view of the stars on a moonless night.

Don was the BEST camp host and was so helpful. Everything was so clean and well kept.

Beautiful views from every site... the campground is high up. It was very windy when we were there.
