Blanca Peak

Camp with a view.

I really enjoyed the experience I had at this camp. Had wonderful views, a lot of open space, and wonderful quiet time. I would recommend it to anyone that just loves to get away and loves natural beauty.

Such a pretty campsite!! There aren't any amenities, but it's pretty close by to the town of Alamosa!

Blanca Peak

The campsite was not what I expected. It wasn’t well marked and it did not have a driveway for access. We parked on the main gravel road and walked about 30 towards to the site, which was just a tiny bare patch of sand marked with a piece of wood and a small fire pit. The cleared area was big enough for one tent and we had to clear more cacti out of the way for more space. It was a beautiful view of the mount rains and great stars at night though! Good access to Sand Dunes. Lots of bugs and wind.

Blanca Peak

Amazing sunrise!

Neal communicated well with us and provided us detailed directions on how to get to the campsite. The site itself is well maintained and clean. I woke up to the best view I’ve ever seen! The panoramic view of the Blanca Peak is so unforgettable.
