Arrived around 5pm in late May 2024. Picked a spot. Set up. Watched the full moon rise in the east and simultaneously watched the sun set in the west. Quiet and free and close to Great Sand Dunes National Park.

We arrived around 8 pm on a holiday weekend and there’s still plenty of space. Big area so lots of room. Verizon cell service is good, but not enough to use phone as a hotspot. Very dusty but that’s not surprising. Watch out for little cacti where you walk. Amazing sunset view. Definitely recommend.

Staying a couple nights, several others here but can’t hear them. Plenty of space and lots it sites as you venture further up the road toward the mountain. Can get very windy, so I chose a spot next to bush growth. No road noise unless Simeon is driving on the camp road. Big rig friendly on lower ground, small rig & car, vehicle friendly further up.
Lots of campfire spots prepared. Bring your own firewood.
Just amazing.

There were a few folks that liked to speed down the road though. Our campsite was really littered, so my wife and I tried our best to clean up our campsite. It’s very sandy here too unless you go higher, but the road gets worse the further you go up it.

There’s a parking lot when you first pull onto the road and then a handful of campsites leading up to the mountain. Good view of the mountains and stars. Something must have been going on while I was there at two police drove past, but they didn’t bother me. The only complaint were the cars down the road with their brights on half the night. I would stay here again, and recommend bringing firewood if you’re arriving early enough.

-Cons: Awning wrecking wind, Blowing sand that makes you take shelter and gets in EVERYTHING, Busy road with ATV’ers and day hikers, Lots of campers close to you.
Good for a night or two, but don’t expect wilderness solitude. We would have stayed longer if not for the mini sand storms.

The views are great and we were not alone out here. The road is very dusty and several jeeps and trucks did not slow down and dusted us up. We camped across from a new Helipad that was put in by the State for emergency use. We experienced a lot of nats in our RV. We camped in July and I would recommend camping in cooler weather because we camped in an open field.
see photos
We would camp here again in cooler weather.
located about 16 miles from the Sand Dunes.
We have Starlink and they must be a lot of users out here, my speed test was Mpbs 36.5 down 7.83 down

My daughter and I our “Road Tripping” Colorado. Saw a YouTube video on this place (BLM land) so we gave it a go. Our big tent broke on the process of setting it up. No biggie. Lucky we had the small back up with us also. This area is beautiful. Mountain back drops with open prairie/desert. Roads are easily traveled. Seen all types of campers and tents. Large 5th will be limited to how far into the area you feel comfortable adventuring. All other sizes, no problem. Watched numerous storms roll past. Night time star gazing is awesome. Not to bad for the price-free (or thank your tax dollars).
