Amazing views

Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.

Welcome to the San Luis Valley; the highest Alpine Valley in the world! This campground sits close to the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. You can also see the San Juan mountain range to the east in the distance. San Juans are part of the NW rim of the Continental Divide. Great Sand Dunes are visible from every site. With unlimited mountain views, beautiful starry night skies, come see the Milky Way, Eclipse, Meteor showers!!! Previously known as High Desert Ranch Campground, this land was originally part of a large ranch in the 1980s. The main ranch is still up and running but this parcel was used for many purposes over the years. In 2021, we were featured in USA Todays Ten Best for star gazing! My property has 360 degree mountains views with the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range as our back yard. Nearby you can find many different trail systems for all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts. From hiking to jeeping, ATV or dirt biking and equestrians - you can find it all! You will be surrounded by ranch land and state land with Wildlife Refuge just two miles away. Accommodations for those with livestock, just make sure you chat in advance your initial message. Close to BLM, and National Forest as well as 3 hot springs within 20 miles and the Great Sand Dunes. We are still under construction and making changes often so bear with us while we continue to add and change things for the better!

Very quiet spot with an open, unobstructed view of the mountains. Christine is a perfect host. I return to her land regularly and feel safe there as a solo female traveler.

Christine is an awesome host ! Good spot if you want to be central in the valley to see all the things. Good communication, friendly and the pups are too cute.

I had such a great experience here!!! The landscape was beautiful it was absolutely breathtaking. Christine was so sweet and super helpful for my entire stay. I was in a tent and she brought me a portable heater to use and then brought me boots and offered to get me water so I wouldn’t have to get muddy. I would 100% stay here again and can’t wait to plan my next trip!!

Great camping spot!

We loved camping at the High Desert Ranch. It was below zero at night so it’s a great option for winter camping with the provided hook ups. The site was spacious and clean. The views were vast and the stars were bright. Our one note is that there are dogs that will chase you on your drive in ( not Part of the high desert ranch) so be on alert driving in. Thank you for the stay. Christine was also very quick to respond.

Literally awesome spot. The mountains, the night sky with visible Milky Way.. to be out in the ‘wild’ but with hookups is a treat. Christine was also super accommodating when we mixed up our dates. We would visit again.
