Getting Outdoors

Great Sand Dunes National Park gets you up close with the tallest, most dramatic sand dunes in North America. Star Dune is the park's showpiece at 750 feet high. The round trip hike should take around five hours and rewards you with incredible views over the sandy expanse. The two-hour return hike to High Dune starts from a parking area near the visitors' center and unlocks sweeping views over the dune field.

Camping at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve

Open from April to October, the Piñon Flats Campground offers a unique chance to sleep in an International Dark Sky Park. The National Park Service campground offers 88 sites suitable for both rental RVs and tents. Sites in Loop 1 compromise on shade but boast the best views of the dunes and mountains. Stay in Loop 2 or Loop 3 and you'll enjoy sun-dappled sites dotted with pinyon pines and desert shrubs. All sites feature picnic tables and fire pits for enjoying your meals outdoors. Larger sites in Loop 1 and Loop 2 can accommodate RVs of up to 35 feet long.

Exploring the Area

Hidden gems like Zapata Falls offer welcome relief from Colorado's sunbaked desert landscape. It's fed by snowmelt from the San Juan Mountains and sees water cascade 25 feet down a rocky crevasse. For a change of scene, spend the day exploring the San Luis State Wildlife Area. It's set on low-lying dunes interspersed with wildlife-rich wetlands. A 30-minute drive from the park, Colorado Gators Reptile Park gets you face to face with enormous crocodilians, some more than 11 feet long and weighing over 500 pounds.

The RV was like a home away from home for our guests who came to visit. Robert was great to work with and answered all of our questions very quickly. It was our first time setting up an RV at our new home and Robert made the whole process very easy.

The Edgars were fantastic to work with. They communicated well and had the camper well equipped for a week’s worth of time. The water tank was full and the refrigerator cold upon pick up. The camper is spacious and perfect for a family adventure.

Austin & Aubrey were great hosts with an excellent camper. The camper was provided with everything we needed and set up so we didn't have to worry about anything. They were quick to respond to ensure open communication. We would book this camper again if we had another opportunity to do so.
