BLM North Sand Hills Campground

The North Sand Hills are located in northern Colorado near the small town of Walden. This unique area features impressive sand dunes that draw visitors seeking scenic views and outdoor experiences. The area is somewhat remote, with rough access roads that eventually turn to sand as you approach the dunes. The campground itself offers impressive vistas of the surrounding landscape, with the dunes being the main geological attraction of this BLM-managed area.

The North Sand Hills SRMA is popular for off-road vehicle recreation, with many visitors bringing ATVs to explore the dune system. Beyond motorized recreation, the area offers excellent opportunities for hiking, photography, and nature observation due to its unique sand dune landscape and scenic views. Camping is available both at the designated campground and in dispersed sites around the dunes. Be prepared for windy conditions when planning activities, as the open dune environment can experience significant winds.

The North Sand Hills park info stop in Cowdrey provides basic informational resources for visitors planning to explore the area. While specific facilities are limited, it serves as an orientation point before heading to the dunes. For camping itself, the BLM North Sand Hills Campground is primitive with minimal amenities. Visitors should be self-sufficient and prepared for backcountry camping conditions.
