Amazing views for miles and miles!

This is a very remote, primitive desert-like site just west and within view of the Great Sand Dunes. You can see for many, many miles in all directions, with mountains on every horizon. Sunsets and sunrises are indescribably beautiful, and the night sky is just a blanket of stars. A little tough to get in and out of the property because of a culvert that runs near the road, but once you’re there it’s just perfect. Great fire pit for a campfire. Would def love to stay again!

The price was right and the view was stunning but I got eaten alive by mosquitos!

Absolute BEST Stargazing

We had a blast at campsite CEE! The kids explored, we built a campfire, watched an amazing sunset and stargazed. We will 100% be back again.

Beautiful views in a secluded spot

This was a great, secluded spot to spend the night before heading to Great Sand Dunes National Park. Fantastic views both east and west. Easy to find with John’s directions.

Desert Campsite on a Private Ranch!

With a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains from the center of the San Louis Valley, John's three campsites on his ranch provided the privacy we hoped for to be able to enjoy a peaceful night under the stars. Less than a half an hour from both Alamosa and Dunes National Park, we were able to take day trips to do and see everything we wanted to.
