If you're looking to take a deep breath away from the busyness of life, Sandhill Desert Ranch is waiting for you. Gaze over the campfire the Great Sand Dunes as the sun sets behind you. Wake up early to go sand boarding or hiking at the National Park, then take a refreshing dunk in Zapata Falls before you head back to camp to relax. Don't forget to look up as night falls again - the stars in the San Luis Valley are out of this world!

This space was everything I wanted…. Quiet space in the middle of nowhere. There was a “neighborhood” dog far away but could be heard barking at night bc there’s literally nothing around. But we slept in a vehicle so it didn’t bother us. Just be aware if you’re in a tent it can get windy at night! The sunset views were gorgeous.

Stargazing and Sand Dunes
Great camping site, and very remote which was great for stargazing. There were no issues reaching and finding the site. I was able to drive and park relatively easily with a Crosstrek but my buddy was driving an Impreza and had to be careful with the drive into the site. Overall this was a nice spot with plenty of areas to put a tent. There are some RVs and other tent sites nearby so you're not fully alone but they are far enough away to not be a bother to the eyes and ears. Sand Dunes NP is really easy to get to so I recommend doing to 20-30 minute drive there, it's impressive.

Beautiful site. Very remote and perfect for the day trip over to Great Sand Dunes. Site 2 is the one that worked for our family.
