High Desert Hideaway
2 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Saguache
We love our High Desert Hideaway and take great effort to keep it comfortable for our camping guests. Between the incredible mountain views in every direction to the high-desert experience of an arid climate - we want to share with you the peaceful quiet lifestyle that we enjoy every moment of our time here.
We offer use of our campsite (the Hideaway) - and the nearby amazing 14,000' Sangre de Cristo mountains almost within arms' reach.
Our property is off-grid. Our goal is to mitigate any impact on the environment we might have. We are on well-water and septic with a solar array for power inside our home. Campers have access to a portable toilet, outdoor shower, and potable (drinkable/safe) well water.
The Crestone area has officially received designation as International Dark Sky. This means we are extremely careful about light pollution. The views of the night sky are magnificent because there is no light pollution. You will be amazed by the vast numbers of stars visible from our property. (We may have the telescope setup for you to use while you're here.)
You'll be close to the Great Sand Dunes National Park - the tallest and most amazing sand dunes in North America. Plan to make this a day-trip - no one should ever miss the Dunes! You're able to see the Dunes from just about everywhere on our property. Look to the south and be amazed!
We are also close to several natural hot springs resorts with both family friendly and clothing optional locations. And the choices for hiking are too numerous to list.
Don't forget about the local hiking trails and the beautiful views from the Ziggurat (it's visible from our deck).
The nearby town of Crestone is a quaint and delightful town with a history museum, an art cooperative, at least two restaurants, a brew-pub, two grocery stores, a liquor store, post office, a bank, and a gas station.
Our High Desert Hideaway is truly heaven on Earth.

Ramble at Great Sand Dunes NP
18 sites · Tents640 acres · Alamosa East, Alamosa
Ramble welcomes you to our private campground - Ramble at Great Sand Dunes National Park! The location is strikingly beautiful and vast: 640 acres of rolling sand dunes nestled up against the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at 7,550 feet. This campground is just a 30 minute drive to the entrance of the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, where you can hike dunes up to 750 feet tall. It's also at the base of Colorado's fourth tallest mountain, 14,345-foot Blanca Peak.
Ramble is a dog friendly campground so bring your furry friends. There is a pet leash hook for you to link up your dog at each site.
The Welcome Center will be the first place you'll stop, which includes an interactive photo opportunity, our park map, and informative and interesting information about the local community and surrounding region.
Just a short distance from every campsite is our bathhouse -- thoughtfully designed with private bathrooms, showers, and a pet rinse area. It also includes a QR-code-accessible mini store for easy purchases of firewood, toiletries and Ramble merchandise. Inside the bathrooms you’ll find flushing toilets, toilet paper, seat protectors, fold down changing tables, sinks, hand soap, hooks, mirrors, soft lighting, and locking doors. On the side of the bathhouse are our open air concept shower stalls complete with hot water, benches, towel hooks and complimentary body wash and shampoo.
The dump station is located just past the bathhouse and can accommodate disposal of sewage, waste water and includes a spigot for easy clean up. This station is complementary to Ramble guests.
All of our campsites are purposefully spread apart to give every group maximum privacy and spaciousness. Please refer to the campground map when making multi-site reservations and expect 100 to 250 feet walking distance between adjacent sites.
As far as activities go, there’s plenty to do. Rent a bike or bring your own -- we’ve got our very own three mile gravel path for you to shred that provides direct access points to local bike and Bureau of Land Management trails. There is also a 40 acre, 9-hole disc golf course perfect for all levels onsite. Horseshoe pits, corn hole tables, board games, and other activities are also available. And if that’s not enough, attractions in San Luis Valley, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Medano Creek, Zapata Falls, and Hooper Pool are all just a short drive away.
Ramble at Great Sand Dunes falls within the IDA International Dark Sky Park region, so be prepared to enjoy some ridiculously starry nights. If it gets too dark, our entire campground utilizes thoughtfully designed lighting that won’t detract from nature’s light show.
So bring the dog, kids, family and friends -- or enjoy the awesomeness solo. Welcome to camping the way you've always wanted it to be.
