We arrived at 9:00 in the evening. The view was great! We drove around looking for a tent site, and when returning to a site we liked, we noticed our own tracks and no one else’s. We started to setup our tent and noticed 3 GRAVE SITES right next to the site we had selected. When we went to the manager, he made up some story and then told us that the last person who had stayed at the site we had selected had committed suicide (with a laugh). It was very upsetting. No wonder we were the only campers who were going to stay there over the holidays. DO NOT STAY HERE. Drive another mile to the national park. We camped here in a Tent.

Sites are level gravel with picnic table and fire ring. Laundry and rec room were not open when we were there late in April, restrooms were cold. There is a store, a lodge, and cabins for rent. The campground itself is very serviceable but not exceptional; what is exceptional are the views of Great Sand Dunes National Park and surrounding mountains. This is a great location for access to the park and Zapata Falls. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
