Come stay at the beautiful Blanca View Dispersed camp site! This 5.5 acre piece of property features stunning views of Blanca Peak, and the 3 other surrounding 14ers. It's a Great location to stay for visiting the Great Sand Dunes National Park as well as many other excursions as will be listed later. This site is un obstructed, and non light poluted, fostering an amazing 'Dark Sky' location for those intrested in star gazing. Please refer to the map to help guide you to exact tent spots and fire pits. This map will also show you the border of my property to ensure that you stay within the boundaries of the land that I own. * This property is a work in progress as I intent to add more campsites around the property. Do not cut wood from any surrounding trees, please bring your own wood or use dead wood found on the ground. LEAVE NO TRACE! .....…............................................................
