Sacred White Shell Mountain

My coworker and I were in the area to visit Great Sand Dunes National Park and to watch the Perseid meteor showers. We stayed here two nights, rather than in the park campground, and I would definitely stay here again! It's wide open, so it can be windy; just make sure if you're using a tent that the rain fly is tied down/secured someh... more

The drive into the road was very sandy but out 2 wheel drive van did great. Parked on the second large spot with fire pits still on the flat area before the road ascends up the mountain. There were 3 other cars/vans that joined us in that spot but everyone was very respectful and super quiet. We loved the cows that walked around in the... more

I went to camp here but decided against it once I saw what it was - a scrubby hillside with nothing there. The one plus is that it isn’t far from the Great Sands National Park. I opted to pay for an annual SWA (State Wildlife Area) pass that gets you free entry into San Luis SWA a bit further down the road. There are bathrooms a... more

We camped in a tent, and the area is super windy, so we ended up leaving the flat areas behind to climb the very rough road up the mountainside where there are trees and bushes to provide some cover. No amenities to speak of, but the view! Wow! I don't recommend taking a trailer up to that part, but in the flat parts trailers would be... more

Easy to locate. The road in and out was a bit rough. About 15 or so miles from The Great Sand Dunes

The road is bumpy but doable with an RV. Enjoy great view and quiet sleep.

I didn't have a problem with cleanliness when I stayed, and I would recommend getting there early as spots seemed to fill. Beautiful spot right under the mountain, and close to the Great Sand Dunes National Park. Don't forget to look up when the sun goes down.

What a great spot. The road getting in was a bit washboard but we took it slow and did just fine. Wide open area with great 360 degree view. There unfortunately was trash all over. We did our best to pick up around us but....come on people!!! Anyways Zeus loved it too. Would absolutely recommend this spot!

Lovely little secluded spot with a view of the mountains. We stopped at the first pull off (which already had a fire pit from a previous camper), but a couple others who came after us found spots a bit down the road. Our dogs loved the chance to run around and explore! We loved it so much we recommended the spot to our friends who were... more
