The only thing that would have made our stay better was the possibility of electric at our site.
We enjoyed the shade, size of campsite, closeness to the bathrooms, and seeing some safe wildlife in the campground. I also liked the ability to hike into the dunes right from the campground without visiting the public area. It was much less crowded.

Bathrooms are literally world class for a campground. Be prepared for wind and sand in the eyes and throat. One of the most beautiful places in the world.

Really unfortunate situation, but the air quality was very poor due to the Aspen Acres fire. It was impossible to get in contact with any ranger staff and the campground did not send out any alerts or share local weather and AQI information, so we did end up driving up to the park entrance, but we immediately turned around due to unsafe air quality. The ranger requested for us to cancel our reservation to release the campsite but the system does not support canceling reservations once the check-in date has passed. The lack of communication from the campground was frustrating and of course we're bummed we couldn't experience the dunes this time, but we're more concerned that park management did nothing to communicate about dangerous environmental conditions to people planning to camp there!

Great stay. Site was mostly level with plenty of room for larger RVs.

Lovely campground. The host, Nancy, was amazing - we had a hiccup with our campsite (someone else thought it was theirs), and she was so kind to us, offering to share her small trailer with the 3 of us while we waited for things to sort themselves out, then checking in with us all evening and the next day. We were so grateful she was so thoughtful, responsive, kind, and helpful.

Quiet, and spacious campground with a view of the dunes. I was glad to have picked a site with trees for shade.

This is a great campground if you are planing on staying at the great sand dunes. It gets a little windy but not too bad. We recommend stargazing!

Amazing camping, star gazing, and sites are well kept. But the place is in desperate need of a shower facility. 2 nights without a bath is rough, especially after being in the sand.

Beautiful park and definitely worth the visit. For the campground, some of the spots are very hard to back into if you need to be able to. The bugs were awful until the sun went down. I'm glad we didn't arrive until about 1 hour before the sun went down. The large bear bins are very nice and restrooms were very close to our site, but do not have good lighting and no mirrors.
