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

Mono Loco Flats offers a tranquil camping experience with stunning mountain views and spacious sites that provide a sense of solitude. While it's conveniently close to the highway, some visitors note the distant sound of traffic, though it's generally unobtrusive. The site is praised for its cleanliness and proximity to the Great Sand Dunes National Park, making it an excellent base for exploration. However, campers should be prepared for the lack of shade and occasional strong winds.

I didn't end up staying the night here, as my travel plan changed. The sight was clean and easily accessible.

Site 3 Blanca Vista

Great reviews and lots of space between sites! Good directions to get there - fireplace and bench. Primitive but sounds like the host is adding more features soon! The area can get windy as expected

Site 1 The Mesa

Great location! Close enough to gray sand dunes NP and very easy to find. Was mostly alone - could see other campers but not close enough to hear or be bothered by them. Very nice sight with great space - beautiful views and far from other groups - felt very remote, in a good way! But very close to highway

Site 1 The Mesa

Quiet campsite just a bit off the highway. Perfect for a night of camping while traveling. The directions were easy to follow and the site was clean and flat.
