Welcome to Great Sand Dunes Oasis, your unique gateway to adventure in the breathtaking Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve! Nestled on the eastern edge of the stunning San Luis Valley, between the majestic Blanca Massif and the iconic Crestone Needle, the Great Sand Dunes stand as the tallest sand dunes in North America. Spanning approximately 39 square miles and soaring nearly 750 feet above the valley floor, these natural wonders offer an unparalleled experience for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. The formation of these magnificent dunes is a fascinating tale of nature's forces at work. Over millennia, wind and rain have eroded the nearby San Juan and Sangre de Cristo Mountains, transporting sand that has accumulated in this unique location. The prevailing winds across the valley play a crucial role, as they carry sand toward the mountains, where it is deposited at their base. This dynamic process continues to shape the dunes, ensuring that they evolve and change with each passing day. At Great Sand Dunes Oasis, you can immerse yourself in a variety of outdoor activities, from hiking and sandboarding to stargazing under the vast night sky. Nearby attractions include serene swimming holes and charming local restaurants and shops, making it the perfect base for your adventures. Experience the beauty and excitement of the

I loved this space so much. Super beautiful and peaceful and I loved the animals! It was the perfect little retreat for myself and I love the history of the property.

The Rainbow connection is a well designed tiny home we purchased new in 2021 and put it out on our land. We love the simplicity of this tiny home.

Loved RHR! We were the only ones there, which made it really nice and peaceful. The stars were amazing and the working doggos came to hang out with us frequently throughout the day and keep us safe from coyotes. Directions in the reservation and signs along the way were clear and we got there with no problem. We also drove an AWD Subaru Impreza and didn’t have any issues on the road.

Perfect desert style camping! Bring your own shade! ☀️ Thank you for providing water with large tank for the unbeatable camping bathroom experience! A flush toilet and a HOT shower under the incredible starry skies are unmatched! The lake is a 3 min drive or a small hike away. You cannot swim in this lake but there's plenty of beach and you can still fish and be on-water! The small town aboit 12 mins away is perfect for any last minute or forgotten quick grabs. A perfect get away without getting too far away!
