Amazing views

Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.

Mono Loco Flats sits on a mesa nestled in the Sangre de Cristo mountains near Sangre De Cristo creek and La Veta Pass. This Mesa is a perfect homebase to explore. Growing up in Southern Colorado I was fortunate to explore this zone as a kid and I feel so fortunate that I can share Mono Loco Flats with others. The Great Sand Dunes National Park and Zapata Falls are 25 minutes from Mono Loco Flats. Learn more about this land: Set up camp and enjoy sweeping views of Mount Blanca and the surrounding Sangre De Cristo mountain range.The 15 acre camp is situated just off highway 160 for easy access. Mono Loco Flats is an excellent home base for exploring the San Luis Valley, just 25 minutes from The Great Sand Dunes National Park and Zapata Falls. Sangre de Cristo Creek is a short hike or drive to the south. Fort Garland is a 5 minute drive. This Mesa provides 360 panoramic views with epic sunrise and sunset views of Mount Blanca. Wild horses and prong horned antelope may wander the Mesa as you enjoy your camp. The natural beauty of these three campsites are worth protecting so please if you pack it in, pack it out. This is a dry camp with no toilet or garbage facilities. Please treat this land with respect so that future campers may enjoy the land free of rubbish. All three campsites are accessible with any type of vehicle and the long driveway and turnaround can accommodate any trailer or RV up to 20'. So please come and enjoy the Sangre De Cristo mountains at Mono Loco Flats:) @monkeypuzzlespace = Mono Loco Flats on Instagram

Everything went well and was as expected except for the fact that they no longer provide firewood. Would recommend!

Site 2 Arroyo

Such a cool place to camp! Clear instructions made it easy to find even after dark. The stars were awesome and it’s relatively close to the Great Sand Dunes. Would definitely recommend!

Site 1 The Mesa

Nice Views - great location

We were able to switch to another spot easily as there were no other campers. Great views & the spot we were in seemed to dodge all the weather that came at us all day.

Site 2 Arroyo

Very nice view of the valley while being close to the free way. It was an enjoyable trip. Only negative was when we arrived we found old used beer cans in the fire pit. Other than that the area was clean
