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!

Nice views
Great views. Lots of privacy. It was VERY buggy and my dog got a very bad rash from the flies. It is the outdoors though!! Thanks for the stay!

We had a great time camping on Christina’s land! It was pretty muddy after a big rain, but once it cleared, we had gorgeous views of the mountains, dunes, and stars. Plenty of space for tents with a big group, and a nice fire pit in the middle!

The area was pretty and remote. It was quiet and close to the national park. The private road was washed out and needs to be repaired. It would be nice if there was a place to throw garbage away nearby.

Great Tent Camping Site
We were tent camping and had a great time. Just put in the GPS coordinates given by Christiana for the entrance and you will have no problem finding it. Very secluded with lots of privacy. It is also close to Great Sand Dunes National Park and you pass a place to acquire sand sleds/boards on the way. There are no public bathrooms nearby, so just plan accordingly and use the national parks facilities.

It was a great location to be near the Great Sand Dunes. As advertised, it is very secluded and does not come with any amenities. Worked for what we needed!
