It’s a very nice campground, but the picture online at the reservation site didn’t match the reserved site…

This is one of my favorite places on the planet. I have camped here multiple times in the 26 years I’ve live in Colorado and brought my kids here for meteor showers and to learn the stars well into their adolescence. This is a nationally recognized dark sky park. Therefore it is utterly INCOMPREHENSIBLE that there is an LED lit Pepsi machine that shines directly into Loop One from the camp store. I get that there has to be some light at the entry sign and the bathrooms. Those could be done better, but at least they serve a purpose, point toward the ground, and while they are also LED, they are dimmer and yellower. The Pepsi machine is bright white. It is an insult to the idea of dark sky certification. Whoever authorized this needs to be fired. It is a creation of utter disrespect and disdain toward the sky and anyone interested in viewing it.
I will absolutely go back because it is beautiful, the campground is well-maintained, and the campsites are great. But this is abhorrent.

Always love Piñon Flats! Nicely spaced campsites. Beautiful views. Quiet!
This campground isn’t for the big rigs. Tents, camper vans, pickup campers and an occasional 25 ft motorhome (ours) are perfect for the locale. Generator hours are a bit restrictive, but that makes for a QUIET campground.
We’ve visited many times an expect to visit more.

There were several sightings of one bear in particular. who got food from at least 2 campsites. This campground needs bear proof boxes at each site. We stayed at Great Sand Dunes the night before and each site had a box. No bear issues.

The grounds and facilities were well kept. The scenery and views are top notch. A warning to future campers in August, there are very strong winds that will rip your tent from its stakes. Overall an amazing experience and we will be booking again!

Fun event. Would be nice to have scissors or nail clippers provided to use for cutting disregarded Fishing line. A strap/rope of some type to help keep the grabbers from sinking would be nice as well. Otherwise very fun.
