Sand Dunes Base Camp

The San Luis Valley has a storied history in Colorado. Come experience this slice of virtually untouched 10,000-acre plot of land nestled against the legendary Fourteener Mt. Blanca! Taos, Alamosa, Hiking, Skiing and the Sand Dunes close by! Learn more about this land:Your own camping plot minutes from the Sand Dunes National Park Gates, at the base of Mt. Blanca (a 14’er)! Wake up to unobstructed million dollar views.  Lovely area with lots of wildlife. Pulls campers from all walks of life and everyone seems to have a huge smile on their face. A little town with sundries is close enough for goods but far enough to forget you’re near civilization. The nights sky has an unobstructed view of the sky (no light pollution). Easy to get to and close to the sand dunes. If you have a large group we recommend booking both sites. 

The property is just minutes away from Great Sand Dunes National Park

The property is nestled beneath Mt Blanca and the national forest border is just steps away.

Host is flexible and lets you up your tent wherever you'd like!

Super peaceful and quiet place for reading.

Plenty of space for vehicles, tents and a firepit!

Beautiful view. Campers took this in later winter. By April it all turns green and it’s breath taking.

Purgatory Riverbottoms

If camsites are full, contact me. There is tons of space. Upon arrival, come straight down Cottonwood Avenue past the private signs where the asphalt ends and straight to the Teepee. We are on a Peninsula with the river on one side and an irrigation creek down the other. We own 1/4 stretch along the river across from the riverwalk and downtown. The "Trinidad" lights shine down from atop Simpsons Rest which is a public area. It has an incredible view of Trinidad ans hidden caves and areas to explore as well. The area we own is Picketwire Valley. It was renamed Picketwire because the French couldn't pronounce Purgatory. The French retreated to Simpsons Rest are were surrounded by Indians and were starved etc. The large caves they hid in, have since covered over.
