Mono Loco Flats sits on a Mesa nestled in the Sangre de Cristo mountains near Sangre De Cristo creek and La Veta Pass. Growing up in Southern Colorado I was fortunate to explore this zone as a kid and I feel fortunate that I can share Mono Loco Flats with others. Set up camp and enjoy sweeping views of Mount Blanca and the surrounding Sangre De Cristo mountain range. This 15 acre camp is situated just off highway 160 for easy access, approximately 25 minutes from The Great Sand Dunes Natianal park and Zapata Falls. Mono Loco Flats is an excellent home base for exploring the San Luis Valley. Sangre de Cristo Creek is a short hike or drive to the south. Fort Garland is a 10 minute drive. All three sites provide 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

Great camping site overall! Was able to see the stars and even got to see a plethora of wildlife. Easy access to the campsite with plenty of room. Would definitely recommend staying here and definitely would stay again.

Site 3 Blanca Vista

I had a great stay! It was very windy but to be expected for late November. I saw a few deers, and was overall a positive experience. Highly recommended!

Site 1 The Mesa

Great little spot off the highway. Good base camp. We felt safe. An abundance of Cacti so keep kids and pets on road.

Site 1 The Mesa

This was my first hip camp experience. We used it as a home base for 2 days to do some hiking at rio grande del Norte. I Thoroughly enjoyed staying here. 360 views are breathtaking. Very peaceful and lots of space between you and other camp sites Definitely hoping to stay here again
