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.

Recent RV rental reviews in Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve
Jeffrey M.
September, 2025
Very well-maintained RV. Decent gas mileage. Very accessible for any trips along Highway 50 west of Canon City. The host is very easy to work with—just an FYI. If you use a CPAP, you have to run the generator to get 110V. Best to bring a battery supply as running the generator could get costly. It was our first RV experience. Would do it again.

The hosts were responsive and easy to work with. The RV was very clean and well stocked as advertised. The AC, canopy and screen doors worked well. The RV was delivered and set up as planned. They walked us through the RV and instructed us in how to operate everything. Will rent this RV again next year, great experience.

Paul and Robin gave the best walk through and instruction at the beginning of our stay. We had friends rent from others and did not get anywhere near as good walk through and instructions. They were super friendly and their trailer was perfect for us! Highly recommend and look forward to renting from them again!
