Great experience camping at Pinon Flats Campground! Only recommendation to future campers to is to be sure to look at the pictures of your campsite. The campsites aren't all the same and may not accommodate your setup. I got a bit lucky with this, but could have easily been out of luck.

Well-maintained campground, lots of sites. Stayed in site 67 which had awesome views of the sand dunes, close to restrooms, potable water spigots, and the overview trailhead. Most of the sites in the 60s have greats views of the sand dunes. This campground had some of the cleanest restrooms (with flush toilets) I've ever seen in any campground. Got lucky and reserved a site 2-3 days before arrival due to cancellations. Easy access to the main visitor parking lot and trails from the campground. Staff were friendly and informative. I would definitely camp here again.

The campground was an unexpected gem. Views from many of the sites were beautiful. The bathrooms were well maintained and in good shape. I would highly recommend a stay here.

The Park Rangers are overly aggressive for a National Park. The store was not open when it said it would be. Repeated calls were made and messages left and procedure followed, yet when we arrived with a school group for an educational trip/overnight we were greed with nothing short of a swat team coming in hot and aggressive to our group. This aggressive policing by the Park Ranger continued throughout the weekend with flashing lights and aggressive confrontation for things we had not done wrong. A much better approach would have been to enter into conversations about what the rules were and ways we could adjust to be better guests of the park, but again, we were operating well within the rules and regs of the park and quiet times and usage of the spaces we rented.

Newer restrooms. Nice dump station with gravity fill potable water. Sites are generally small and close but bushes give some privacy.
