Site 11 had a beautiful view of the valley. The site had about 2 maybe 3 tent spots. The initial climb to the campsite was steep but leveled out once up by the picnic table and fire ring. Bathrooms are close by and very clean!

The campsite was well-maintained and even had a sturdy trash bag to dispose of your trash in the bear box. It was not a far walk to the falls, no need to drive, but far enough away to not hear any traffic.

We had great views and a quite campground. The sites were all as described. The vault toilets were clean and the camp host was very attentive. We were surprised by the additional elevation above the Great Sand Dunes National Park. The night view was wonderful as well as the morning and evening views. There were picnic tables and fire pits at each camp site. We were glad we had a chance to stay here.

We had a beautiful view of the San Luis Valley and San Juan mountains beyond it. We could also see the Great Sand Dunes. Easy hike to the Falls.

Very close to The Great Sand Dunes NP. Spectacular view of the valley below the campground. I would stay here again no question.
