Beautiful views, clean toilets. Food lockers add ease!
Sites set up to enjoy views but not for use. Fire grills access limited, at the edges of drop offs. Large loose rocks on access to tent pads, cacti in excess.

Great campground with great views. Close to great hiking and Great Sand Dunes NP. It was a bit windy for us but we managed. The road up has been improved but still take it slow, a few washboard areas, we had no trouble towing our small camper. Would not recommend for large campers or motor homes.

The view from the campsite was spectacular! We were able to see constellations and the Milky Way like never before. Also a shot out to the campground host who was not only friendly, but very helpful. After chatting the bit, we find out he's a fellow Gator alumni! He couldn't have been more helpful.

We had a nice time camping even though we couldn’t make a campfire due to a fire warning. It was super windy which, I hear, is common of this place. But, it has amazing views of the San Luis Valley and Great Sand Dunes NP.

Beautiful View from campground. The first part of the dirt road was a little rough but not too bad.
