Great!

The gate is not locked, just open it and you've got some great campsites in BLM land!

Beautiful views & Isolated

This place is good for those who have clearance and a 4WD. Road can be rough but pretty much all pickups are good. Don’t need a jeep. If it rains, you could get in trouble. The views are beautiful. Especially higher up. Some spots, I didn’t find tons of spots. I was the only one here on a Friday night last week if July 🤷🏼‍♀️. Or if there were others I didn’t know it. You get cover of some trees quicker than the sacred mountain location farther south on same road. You have to open a gate to get in. I would recommend it, and will probably be back at some point.

Beautiful Spot

A very short drive off the road, open and close the gate to get in. We parked up by a little stream in an E350 RV. Ground a bit bumpy, but drivable if you go slow. Cell signal okay, 5G 4bars AT&T but about 1-3 Mbps. Amazing wide open Mountain View’s. Many many bitey bugs!

Campsite near Great Sand Dunes

Beautiful spot with amazing views. Not sure what part the other reviewer stayed at, but the approach trial was a little hectic and I was glad to have a high clearance 4x4. Beautiful stream right next to the sites and plenty of fire pits.

BLM option near Great Sand Dunes

We stopped overnight here for a day trip to the great sand dunes in March. This was a lovely spot , no one around and a large turnaround spot with plenty of space for our 20ft trailer . Multiple small BLM pull off roads along hwy 150 with BLM gates that you just open when you drive in and close on the way out. Thanks BLM!
