Lovely View from the Campsite to the Dunes. Clean Restrooms and Campsite.

Nice campground between the dunes and the mountains. There is a trail right next to the site that leads to the dunes. The restrooms are a 1-2 minute walk down the nearby pathway. The night sky was beautiful here and there is a decent amount of people up at 2am looking at the stars through their telescopes. We stated in late May and it still got pretty chilly overnight. Overall a great campsite.

My husband and I stayed at Piñon Flats for 3 nights. Our campsite had beautiful views of the dunes. The bathrooms were clean and the camp store was convenient. We loved being able to walk from the campground to hiking trails and the dunes. We also enjoyed exploring Medano Pass (4x4 is required). Definitely recommend and would camp here again.

Great view of the dunes from site 32 and right by the dune trail. Was very windy so be prepared in terms of gear. Restrooms were clean, host was kind and respectful. Would camp here again when Medano Creek is flowing.

Nice campground with very clean bathrooms and perfect location in the park. The site was large and could fit two tents in addition to being an RV site (we tent camped) but no privacy without an RV in front. There was a small area of shade on one side that was welcome on a hot day. Three good sized steps up to the tent/picnic table area. Partial dune view that is blocked if there is an RV at the site across the road.

this site has a terrible approach to the picnic area. it would be untenable for older folks or for small children. there are no steps, only a large uneven rock to drop down approximately 2.5 ft. the other two entry ways are not accessible because they are the locations of the camper. one side has a rock wall that may be intended to approach the picnic area, but that is also unsafe and resulted in one of our children slipping and falling, resulting in a gnarly scratch on his knee and bruise on his chest. this entry makes it very hard to efficiently or safely bring things down to the picnic area/bear box as heavy things need to be given to someone already down by the person above. we found it frustrating and nerve wracking. i would not recommend this site to folks with mobility struggles or small children. otherwise it is GREAT! so much shade and a beautiful view.
