Great location close to the sand dunes. Our site had bathrooms and running water nearby. The area had a lot of campers, but everyone was pretty respectful of each other's space and turned in relatively early.

Campground was well taken care of and clean. Walking distance to the dunes and fantastic views of Colorado mountains and dunes. Each camp site has a fire pit, picnic table and a bear box(nice if you need it). The campground has a small amphitheater within walking distance that wasn’t active during our stay though probably has activities during the summer. Campground also has a small “store” in a small building which sells ice and such. Sand Dunes National Park Visitor Center is a short drive, tons of info on the dunes and park as well as a Jr Ranger passport stop for the kiddos. We plan to make this a future stop again.

Great spot, we fit two tents (one 4 and one 6 person) plus a canopy tent. Parking for two cars.

The site we had, #49, was unlevel on the right side and had two tree branches overhanging the left side so I had to park my travel trailer in the middle. This meant that there was no room to park my truck alongside and had to pull up by the road, which was difficult due to the overhanging branches. The camp host and a park ranger agreed that these branches should have been cut back, so hopefully this was taken care of before the next campers arrive.
Having said this, the campground is very nice and has the very clean restrooms. There is a trail to the dunes in the campground, and a camp store that sells ice and firewood. The camp hosts are very helpful.

The check-in process was super easy. Park staff were very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were really clean. We had a ton of fun! Campground was a bit noisy at night but it's a public campground so that's to be expected.
