Huerfano River Camper

1 site · Lodging35 acres · Gardner, CO

My intent for the camper is to offer a comfortable upgrade from primitive camping. It has A/C, Wifi, a hot shower, full kitchen and a comfortable bed with clean linens. It isn't, however, like a luxury hotel room or 5 star Airbnb. It's still camping! I designed the space for mindful, experienced campers. It's a vintage Avion camper. 34’ with a deck just steps away from the Huerfano River in the Huerfano Valley, on the east side of the Sangre de Cristo's directly opposite the Great Sand Dunes. It is a rural, dark sky area 40 minutes from the nearest grocery store or gas station. It is strongly recommended that you arrive well stocked and gassed up. Also, arrive before sunset as cell service can be sketchy and it is a dark, rural area and not well marked. 1 hour 12 minutes from Pueblo, Trinidad and Alamosa. The East access of Medano Pass on Hwy 69 is 15 miles. Mosca Pass (east Access) is 15 miles on a dirt road. Lily Lake Trailhead is close by too. Guests have access to the river, outside deck and a charcoal grill. There is a fire pit which can be used responsibly depending on any burn bans. The vintage camper has a fridge, propane stove, toaster oven, blender, coffee maker. I have well water and offer a Brita filter pitcher. The shower in the bathroom has a 5 gallon hot water heater but there is also an outdoor shower with hot water. It is open (not enclosed) so you may want to wear shorts or swimsuit when you use it. Horses and dogs are welcome for an additional fee. Please keep dogs on leash on property. I have 2 barn cats, a German Shepherd and a horse. Dogs must be crated if left in your absence. Please do not allow dogs on furniture. The camper is in a rural area which we share with all manner of wildlife, including mice. I try my best but you may experience these critters. Also, watch out for snakes and do not remove any animals from the land, including horny toads!

Overview

Experience a new side of Colorado when you camp near Alamosa. From the San Luis Valley, you're just minutes from dense forests and rolling sand dunes just begging to be explored.

It's easy to get stoked about Great Sand Dunes National Park. Outdoor lovers come from across the country to see the jaw-dropping dune field that covers 30 square miles. Hike the tallest dunes on the continent—the views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Blanca Peak are worth the climb.

Looking for an adrenaline rush? Try sandboarding or sand sledding down the dunes. (Get your rental gear in Alamosa). Afterward, cool down in refreshing Medano Creek. After a day in the dunes, pitch a tent on the sand—all you need is a backpacking permit. The park also boasts a developed campground, Pinon Flats.

Keep in mind the dunes can get swamped in the summer. For a less crowded alternative, check out San Luis Lake State Park. The secluded campground has RV sites and tent sites but remember to BYOW (bring your own wood).

For stunning views of the dune field, Zapata Falls Campground is your best bet. This rustic state camping area's 9,000-foot elevation promises sweeping vistas of rugged Colorado terrain. Keep in mind all sites are first-come, first-served.

On the other side of Alamosa, you find Rio Grande National Forest. Here, you can enjoy hiking trails and tent camping amid densely wooded hills. You can even catch some dinner at Terrace Reservoir.

Around Alamosa, a huge range of RV parks, rustic tent camps, and decked out cabins are available. Some are just steps from the Rio Grande, which cuts through the city. Whatever your camping style, it's easy to find the perfect spot within minutes of the area's state and national parks.

Wondering when to plan your trip? With its cool winters and mild summers, Alamosa draws campers year round. Visit in January to explore snow-dusted dunes, or get here in August for some of the best starry skies in south central Colorado.
