Welcome to the San Luis Valley; the highest Alpine Valley in the world! This campground sits close to the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. You can also see the San Juan mountain range to the east in the distance. San Juans are part of the NW rim of the Continental Divide. Great Sand Dunes are visible from every site. With unlimited mountain views, beautiful starry night skies, come see the Milky Way, Eclipse, Meteor showers!!! Previously known as High Desert Ranch Campground, this land was originally part of a large ranch in the 1980s. The main ranch is still up and running but this parcel was used for many purposes over the years. In 2021, we were featured in USA Todays Ten Best for star gazing! My property has 360 degree mountains views with the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range as our back yard. Nearby you can find many different trail systems for all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts. From hiking to jeeping, ATV or dirt biking and equestrians - you can find it all! You will be surrounded by ranch land and state land with Wildlife Refuge just two miles away. Accommodations for those with livestock, just make sure you chat in advance your initial message. Close to BLM, and National Forest as well as 3 hot springs within 20 miles and the Great Sand Dunes. We are still under construction and making changes often so bear with us while we continue to add and change things for the better!

Tent 6

Camping but with a mountain view!

Tent site 6 was amazing! There was plenty of room and it was the closest site to the mountain view. The campground is VERY quiet and peaceful. It's so far from the road that there was no road-noise at all! We saw the milky way at night, which was so special. Christine was an excellent host and very responsive to questions! The only downside is the walk to the port-a-port from site 6, but I would rather have the unobstructed mountain view!

Solid option in the San Luis Valley

This is a great basecamp in the San Luis Valley for visits to Great Sand Dunes National Park, stargazing, and any sort of fishing in the Rio Grande (e.g., South Fork, Creede). Tent campsite #1 is nearby and, if occupied, you will be looking at other campers when looking out at the gorgeous Sangre de Cristo range. Tent campsite #1 was, however, unoccupied and not an issue for us at all. The host is an excellent communicator and accommodating too. Will return!

Late September visit with the pup!

We loved camping here! Check in was very easy and the firewood we preordered was easy to find - the owner also responded quickly when we asked where it was. The site itself was extremely beautiful with great mountain views and gorgeous stargazing at night. We could hear all of the wildlife in the quiet area, and the site was quite big with a nice fire pit and picnic table. It was also really cool hearing the coyotes in the mountains at night! We will definitely return!

Tent 6

Camping with amazing views!

The views at the tent site were amazing. And you do get some signal while you’re there! We checked out the porta potty and it was actually decent, like a regular porta potty. Our site (#6) was the closest one to the mountains and had a picnic table + camp fire area. Would recommend this area!

We loved this site. Beautiful views all around you. So many stars in the sky at night. Close to Great Sand Dunes and hot springs.

This was a wonderful place to get away from it all. There are other campsites, but they are very well dispersed and being off-season. There were not many others there. You really got the sense that you were out in nature. You have 360° view of Mountains, changing weather patterns, mountain storms, etc. there’s a Dollar General close by, great Sand dunes Park nearby. But otherwise it was a real pleasure staying there and getting away from it all. Christine was very accommodating.
