Mountains, Trains, and Sand Dunes

3 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Fort Garland, CO

As the Scenic Passenger Train is heard in the distance you'll look up towards Mount Blanca and imagine your next adventure living among the wildflowers of this High Desert Mountain Hipcamp. After recovering from a wildfire, the ancient sage brushes that had previously made the land harsh and unwelcoming are gone, replaced with an abundance of grasses and wildflowers. Open Land as far as you can go to the East you'll follow the Coyote canyon to high mountain lookouts. There are old logging maintenance roads you should take advantage of. Hike, Bike or Motor around the local area. Fort Garland and Blanca have a community center (pool), septic dump and water fill and can provide groceries. The Great Sand dunes are about 45 minutes away. The Sand Dunes swimming pool, fed by a very hot artisan well is about an hour away. Mountain Home Lake is also within 1/2 an hour or so for fishing/water sports with a nice boat ramp. Escape from light pollution like never before, a clear night sky will make the whole trip worthwhile! Lots of wild life and you will most likely see some deer, hear the coyotes, and count the different colors of the humming birds. You can book a train ride out of Alamosa, and visit the local historic towns. The views will make it hard to leave the campsite, but there are tons of experiences and things to do in the area so make sure to do some research before you arrive. The weather and wind can be unpredictable in the mountains, so be prepared. There are two entrances onto the property, one at the bottom and one at the top. You can avoid some wind by camping near Lewis-Smith Rd at the lowest part of the land. Also, the site can accommodate large trailers/RV's but just make sure to plan your entrance/exit carefully and don't go to far down the hills. Just choose a wise spot to park if in a big rig. There are some small tires around that you can use to sit on or if you dig a hole that you fill in before leaving you can make a temporary toilet. Make sure to haul out all your trash and leave the site cleaner than it was when you arrived and respect the land. If you do come across a mess from the previous camper and clean it up, just let us know and we will give you a refund for the night. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Greenhorn Mountain Mastery

2 sites · RVs, Tents1 acre · Colorado City, CO

A nice area for you to pull a small to large RV, 5th wheel, tent camp, car camp, this is a great place that is quiet and will have you gazing up at the stars. Not to far off of I-25 if you need to take a rest for the night before heading on your way. The entrance is a bit bumpy but a Prius can make it through, so you should be solid, just go slow. Graneros Gorge is on your right and it is definitely a site to grab photos, just don't get to close to the edge and watch for rattle snakes. No facilities, just pack in and pack out. Lots of space so spread out and pitch a tent, bring the dogs, and four-wheelers, and enjoy some Colorado sunshine and fresh air. Colorado City/Rye exit has all your necessities, Dispensary, restaurant, and a ways down, is an ACE Hardware, Liquor store, and a small grocery store. It may be a bit hard to find if you are coming in after dark. However, you will get off on exit 71, follow the sign that says Graneros RD and take a left/North and follow it to the payment ends, you will make a sharp right turn, over a cattle guard. The road splits in a few directions but stay strait and the road curves around for about a quarter mile, then you'll see a T in the road, take a right and go about half a mile and you'll see the road going strait and you want to stay right until it dead ends. Area is on the right, but you can camp anywhere. If It is a bit muddy since its been raining and road is kinda rough when you first come in but smooths out. Stay on the high sides with your vehicle.

Escape from light pollution like never before, a clear night sky will make the whole trip worthwhile! Lots of wild life and you will most likely see some deer, hear the coyotes, and count the different colors of the humming birds. You can book a train ride out of Alamosa, and visit the local historic towns. The views will make it hard to leave the campsite, but there are tons of experiences and things to do in the area so make sure to do some research before you arrive. The weather and wind can be unpredictable in the mountains, so be prepared. There are two entrances onto the property, one at the bottom and one at the top. You can avoid some wind by camping near Lewis-Smith Rd at the lowest part of the land. Also, the site can accommodate large trailers/RV's but just make sure to plan your entrance/exit carefully and don't go to far down the hills. Just choose a wise spot to park if in a big rig. There are some small tires around that you can use to sit on or if you dig a hole that you fill in before leaving you can make a temporary toilet. Make sure to haul out all your trash and leave the site cleaner than it was when you arrived and respect the land. If you do come across a mess from the previous camper and clean it up, just let us know and we will give you a refund for the night. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

This was taken (with a 400mm lens) in the parking lot at the store below the campground. The sand dunes sit on the west edge of the Sangre de Cristo mountains and so see some pretty awesome sunsets.
